    I’ve always found when running my chipper the most efficient way is to let the machine take care of the big stuff but handle anything small by hand

    I was lucky enough to run a Vermeer Wood Chipper for a few jobs and loved it. You couldn't overload the thing. So much better than hauling brush to burn piles. And they work great getting rid of irritating coworkers too!

    Of all the videos you post, the farm ones are my favorite. Your care of the land and animals (including your great dogs) is to be commended. Well-done!!! Bravo!!! 👊👍💪😊 P.S. Nothing makes for good neighbors like a fence. 😎

    Great to see your Ford 2810 in operation. I have a 1970's vintage Ford 2000 3-cyl gas that looks almost identical to yours. I use it to pull a 5' bush hog mower to cut the grass in the field behind our church. Love your videos, they always give me ideas for my own projects.

    How many excavators do you need on a farm? -All of them.
    The chipper needs a tray on the back so even small stuff would feed easily.

    Looks great! Isn’t it amazing how little you get out of such a huge pile? The first time I ran ours I thought I would have a mountain of chips but it was only like a yard of material for like 2 trees worth of branches lol 😂.

    Chris, now that you have eliminated all the leaks, repaired all that was needed, worked all the kinks out, changed the oils, fluids, and filters, flushed out the water cooling system, pressure washed the entire machine, and taught the Hitachi excavator how to work like a Volvo excavator, maybe you should consider leasing it out on a day to day or job to job basis. You know what the cost is for an excavator to be on the Jobsite, so who better than you to get the right price per lease. My guess is that you could get the return of your full investment including the repairs, maintenance, and upgrades out of leasing the Hitachi within 2 years or less.

    A couple things Chris. That is a versatile chipper. Not only does it chip wood, it plows a pretty mean furrow. Also that haul truck you used for the stumps seemed pretty maneuverable thru the fence stakes and trees, but didn't have much of a dump bed on it! You might oughta look for a bigger one.

    I can't believe that style and aged chipper was taking some of those logs! Ive seen some newer big diesel turbo machines do big logs. I bet people that burn firewood for heat were screaming during this one! How much is it to rent one of the big machines you just throw everything in from the top? Maybe even a car or two!
