I think you maxed it this time, John. You can sure tell when the flails start gnawing. Shows everything really well. So HEAL GirlieS and Blessings yall!
Best one yet! You can actually hear the flail chains hitting the wood.I second the notion you need to patent your "grapple cam". Got a question...... Would it be worthwhile to maybe grind up the flail tailings in say a tub grinder? You could make garden or flower bed mulch. Also for you or Mike did Morebark build one with a short apron with drag chain. I seem to remember ours had one. I wish I could remember the model no. It was a whole tree machine. This was in 1984. A LONG time ago. Again another good one. Hope everyone at home is still on the mend.
cool cool and thrice cool. Question, what realistically is the smallest diameter of limb that will make it all the way to the chipper disc, cause surely the chains must smash the little ones to dust?
I love that camera position, but only a couple of problems, I waived to you like 3 times and you didn't wave back. I also miss your commentary. Keep 'um coming! Hugs to Lacey and the family! Stay safe out there!
Just a terrific video - about a man and machine dream team. That was a great video and I love how you control the view by rotating the grapple. Seems like a lot of slender timber and nothing much in the way of size = lots of trash and reduced output in terms of chips but sugar, that outfit can handle a lot of wood. I bet the cutter buncher guy had a hard tedious time preparing all that stuff!
How do you know how many trees to put through the chipper . I guess what I am trying to say is hoe many trees before the chopper bogs down.. I hope You understand what I am saying.
hey john , bring them on kitty cat uncle chipper is hungry lol another great video brother still sending prayers for you and yours from Virginia stay safe
John does the season change the way or the quality of the debarking of the trees? I know the bark comes off some trees better in the springtime when the sap is flowing. But in the spring and summer you also have to deal with leaves which you don't have in the winter.
John, you had your "A" game on today Buddy. Eating trees like there was no tomorrow. What will we call this shot. Bucket cam, Grapple cam or maybe the Claw cam as mentioned below. Seemed a little more steady this time. Good aerial shot to John. Good stuff. Say hey to Lacy and Libertee. Always on my mind and in my prayers. Will KIT d
That was some very cool video ground level and birds views. Was that maple and oak you was chipping? And it looked like you might have shot some chips up through there for the trucks to drive on. Again some very cool stuff.
LED light ports for night time work. 4/25/17 video shows them from behind the wings and there is another set of 'vents' blasting to the side so the skidder can see that area too. And then behind that is a light box with two decent sized cables coming out of it. We are seeing the daylight as it comes in the side vents and hits the floor of the light box - makes it look like just the other side of the wing instead of the insides of a light box. Talk about a headlight grill -- nothing is getting to that light bulb.
That was awesome cool footage lol. Good job on the updated description too! Although I'm sure the machine doesn't burn hydraulic fuel... ;) Thanks for posting! I did come up with one question. I noticed that you turned the conveyor speed down slightly, are you unable to control the conveyor speed from the pilot house real-time? Praying for the ladies, y'all just keep on rollin'!
That Chipper Guy I've got family in West Branch, ever seen Murchie and Sons forest products around? I live a few hours south of ya in Northern Oakland County. You guys have some awesome equipment looks like you guys move through some serious timber.
People may think I being dumb but can you over fill the the feed entry. With wood. The reason why I ask is. The grab ain't. Big So dint know if you limited to wot you can do
+bumble matt You can stuff too much in there. It just wont feed. The idea is to try to feed as much as possible without clogging it and maintaining a good quality chip. Thanks for Watching
Fantastic video! Just chipping. No talk, no extraneous issues, just a great video of the clipper getting it done. Thank you!
I agree. excellent video. gave a new perspective on the operation. Liked the side views. thanks.

great view
Just a tad bit more machine than my 12" tree service chipper!
+rbtree haha Gotta love throwin chips!! Thanks for watching!
keep it up John good work buddy
cool cool and thrice cool.
Question, what realistically is the smallest diameter of limb that will make it all the way to the chipper disc, cause surely the chains must smash the little ones to dust?
Do you clean your landings up when your done or do you leave the chipper waste to hold the site from erosion?
I love that camera position, but only a couple of problems, I waived to you like 3 times and you didn't wave back. I also miss your commentary. Keep 'um coming! Hugs to Lacey and the family! Stay safe out there!
+chipjr10 lol Thanks for Watching Chip!!

+CN Vlogs Thanks so much!!
Put your magnet mount GoPro on the nose of Paul's skidder facing the cab while he is at lunch. Then see how long it him to see it.
+VideosByAl lol that's a good idea!! I just might try something like this. Thanks for Watching Al
John, you had your "A" game on today Buddy. Eating trees like there was no tomorrow. What will we call this shot. Bucket cam, Grapple cam or maybe the Claw cam as mentioned below.

+Douglas Laramie lol I almost wrote bucket in the discription!! Thanks for Watching Doug!
The clam cam!!!
Aaron, I like it. What do you think John?
alsome video john
+John Cotton Thanks for Watching John!
Could you another video of the inside of chipper running?
That was some very cool video ground level and birds views. Was that maple and oak you was chipping? And it looked like you might have shot some chips up through there for the trucks to drive on. Again some very cool stuff.
What are the vent looking things on the mouth of the chipper for?
LED light ports for night time work. 4/25/17 video shows them from behind the wings and there is another set of 'vents' blasting to the side so the skidder can see that area too.

I nearly got dragged in !!!!!
+jonathan dalton lol Thanks for Watching Jonathan!
John, great description.I am scared to ask, but ballpark, what does it cost today?

What types of trees are you chipping?
+Jim Webster Aspen in this video. Thanks for watching
hi why don't you have a small chipper off your side belt
it's like a poor man's drone!
Skidder Kev I know this is like a year later but I would say a rich man’s drone because that chipping machine is like way more expensive than a drone
HOW MUCH THEM CHIPS PAYING PER TON NOW AND HOW MANY LOADS YOU PUTTING OUT PER DAY ??
wow thats very small stuff to be chipping
That was awesome cool footage lol. Good job on the updated description too! Although I'm sure the machine doesn't burn hydraulic fuel... ;) Thanks for posting! I did come up with one question. I noticed that you turned the conveyor speed down slightly, are you unable to control the conveyor speed from the pilot house real-time? Praying for the ladies, y'all just keep on rollin'!
+Joshua Pearson I will answer that in a vid Josh! Thanks for watching
Is this job all small wood
