- Using the Kubota B2601 Compact Tractor and my BECO Wood Chipper to chip the limbs of the maple tree we felled earlier in the week. I am really happy with the performance of that BECO woodchipper I picked up from Farmer Equipment Sales. Yup, I decided to buy it! Cheers! #woodchipper #kubotab2601 #compacttractor
Grapple story. Today we’re driving in the lower peninsula of Michigan near the Mackinaw Bridge. We see several trees blown over in the median. My wife says “GP would love to come get them with his grapple.” Haha.
LOL!! That is funny Tim. And she's right. :))) Thanks for sharing. All the best to you both. Cheers!
I didn't doubt for a minute that the chipper was going to stay at your place. Nice job!
I tried hard to fight the urge but ...LOL. Cheers !
You are definitely building the right arsenal for your property. I appreciate when a person does their homework and makes smart decisions when purchasing equipment. I too love that chipper. Thanks for sharing. God Bless
I like the chipper. When I win the lottery a chipper, stump grinder, and tiller is on the list. Lol
LOL. I have my fingers crossed for you. Good luck Steve!! :))
Great videos GP! Would love to see a detailed one on your shed there, I need something to park my tractor under and I could use some ideas, thanks in advance.
Good morning Hector! You bet , I will put something together in the next week if i can. My neighbour Guy and I built it together (he was the mastermind - I was just doing a lot of the labour.LOL). Cheers!
Hey GP that's a great mulch maker. I think I may have to get me one. Thanks bud. Have a great week.
Cheers Dean!

Good morning and thanks very kindly Ed! I really appreciate your comments. Happy you are enjoying the videos and the channel. I am pretty lucky to have some great neighbours up here. And I enjoy working outside. Thanks again for your support! Have a great weekend!
I just ordered the same chipper last week after seeing your earlier reviews. I have been pondering what chipper to get and when I saw your video's I was sold. It should be in next week. I used the gp outdoors code and got the $100 discount. Keep doing reviews and I'll keep buying toys, lol. Cheers
Hey thats great to hear. Dave and Kevin at Farmer Equipment are pretty nice folks offering us a discount. It was hard for me to say no after that. Good luck and enjoy it !! Cheers!!
Good Morning GP,
I don't blame you one bit. I'd keep that chipper too! That is some beautiful woods you guys are working in. The final sceen of you and Guy (I assume) driving out down the trail, I couldn't help but think to myself, "now that's a GOOD day"! Great video. Peace.
It was a Good Day my friend. I always enjoy working back there. Cheers and thanks!
yeah there avaliable at Good equipment ltd too with the other chippers such as land pride,vermeers,bandit chippers
G P we can not believe what that chipper can do nice trail
God Bless
PaK
Thanks Peter. Yes me too. Works really well for such a simple design. Cheers and enjoy the week!
I just got my tractor! Chipper on the way!
Awesome FIDO!! Congrats!! Enjoy the week, I think I know what you'll be doing! LOL.
I new it from the first branch you were going to buy it. Congratulations! You're putting together a nice collection of implements. Later
Thanks Mech! Cheers!
Nice video we never got that hail in Muskoka. Have a good rest of your weekend
It must have just missed you, Frank. The weather network said it was hitting your area and Orillia and I ended up getting the worst of it . LOL. You too. Cheers!
nice job that chipper does. you almost got me tried watching wishing i could do things like this again some year. i own a good chipper/shredder also.
has it's own trailer, it is an
21 hp DR Wood chipper shredder electric start had to get electric because I'm old ...lol
thanks for sharing
LOL. I am sure you will soon. Cheers!
Love the video. Wood chipper does a great job. Man, that chipper would have been great on the land (smile). Thumbs up
Yes it is working out well for me Houndsman. Cheers and have a good one!
Like the chipper but leave some branch for little criters to hide Under .
LOL. Good idea Leo. I'll leave some next time.:)) All the best!
deer like it also
Hi GP. I'm playing catch up on all your great videos, all are made with great quality and information. It's been roughly 3 years since you have had the chipper, have you had any issues with it? 3 years ago my lot was cut by a logger, 1 man and skidder, and where the tree dropped is where it was limbed. i want to be able to walk around my woods without tripping on the old limbs left behind. Seriously considering buying 1 for my needs, 15 acres to clean up. Thanks again GP
That wood chipper does work good! Good days work. lol
Thanks LA!! Hope you are well! Cheers!
GP great job the chipper is great i was wondering if you was going to keep it ! i thought you would !! when i was a kid my dad and gramps would cut wood all summer even if it was in the 100 by the end of the year they would have piles of branches every where and they be 15 to 20 feet high they cut for 3 familys ! take care and have a great week ! Kioti Curt :-)
Hey good morning Curt. I think the chipper would have come in handy back then for sure.LOL. Cheers and all the best!
I don’t know about the clogging issue, but it’s better for your knives when you chip the wood green. They’ll stay sharp longer. Have fun with your new toy!
Good tip Bill. Thanks. Have a good week!
I like it!
Some think its a waste of money but a chipper is well worth the money when you have acreage with trees....just pushing the branches into a pile somewhere isnt the answer....you can do so much with the mulch.....well done.
You bet Don, you probably noticed in the background there are piles of old branches everywhere so it will make lots of chips for the trails I want to start making through the forest. Thanks and have a great week!
I know you had fun chipping away at that Job. Lol. Why didn't some of those 3 inch branches make it into Fire Wood?
Good day Troy. I did indeed. :)) We don't burn anything less than about 3.5 inch. Generally that is the rule. Plus in this case, I purposely wanted to chip all the branches from the whole tree to see if it would do the entire job well - all sizes. And it did great. Thanks for the comment and question. Have a great week!
I also have a Kubota B2601! The rear PTO HP on my Kubota B2601 is 19.5. What HP does that wood chipper require? That wood chipper looks like a 25 HP or more.
Good morning PorkChop! Nice! A fellow B2601 driver. Mine too. The chipper is a 4" that I purchased from Dave and Kevin at Farmer Equipment Sales here in Ontario. It requires a minimum of 16 HP to run and I believe the specs say it needs 30hp to reach maximum capacity (they have all the specs listed on their website of the same name). Not sure if you have watched some of the other videos I put out on it but in one video, I test different sizes (diameters) of limbs to see what it will cut with the B. I love this thing. I used it a lot all through the summer chipping green, as well as limbs that were piled for several years. Doesn't clog up with leaves or anything and I had no trouble ever with it so far. It will cut up to about 3 1/4" on my tractor and for me, that's all I need since we burn anything bigger than that. Hope it helps. Thanks for watching and for the question. Hope the B2601 is working out great for you. Cheers!
@@GPOutdoors, thanks for the reply! After I commented, I watched your other videos and answered my own question. I have been looking at an equivalent chippers to purchase for my B2601 down here in the States. I am leaning toward an Echo Bear Cat CH45540. Thanks for all your great videos! I am learning a lot as a new tractor owner. Cheers!
Most of that you're running through the chipper except for the very top ends of the branch that's usable firewood I'll burn that right up until 1st of January here in Maine during the day and then put the big stuff in at night more BTUs and the smaller against limbs than big log ends
Thanks for sharing Dean. Here, pretty much anything smaller than the diameter of my arm we don't usually put on the wood stack. Nice to learn how other folks do things. Cheers and thanks !
Chipper is way better than burying the branches and we have had a burn ban on for 3 weeks now.
Agreed. We have had the ban for a while now as well. Have a good one!
Since it’s now ‘used’ I hope he gave it to you at a used price. 👍
LOL! Good point Jeff! Cheers!
Hey GP.....I'm doing similar type work on my land near Minden, Ontario. What town are you near in central Ontario?
Good day Kryton! We are close neighbours. Send me an email to gordpotter55@gmail.com. Cheers!
Did you end up purchasing the chipper GP? I'm seriously considering one for my place, ah - you said it at the end, have you tried it on any really dry branches? I have some stuff that has been sitting for 7-8 months
Good morning Jim. Yes I have but only once. You probably noticed lots of piles of old branches in the background, so I was going to do another video on the old branches only and see how it goes. I understand that chipping new branches versus chipping older dry branches is different ( I honestly have not figured out why yet but I have seen it referenced in other people's videos). So far, love the unit. I will try to do the video on dry branches soon and post it for you. Cheers!!
GP Outdoors thanks, would like to see how it goes, hopefully well
I am sure it will as I have already used it on old stuff a bit. But also, if there are any other tests or activities you want me to do to it (or with it - LOL), let me know and I will try to include them as well in the coming video. Cheers Jim!
you bought the chipper didn't you? yep!
LOL CP. I had to ! Wasn't planning on any more attachments for a while but it is so practical and works really well. Cheers and have a good week!
Thank you for the video. Please don’t walk in front of the discharge chute while running. You might start and stop from the other side of tractor or walk around the front.
Good call Loren. Yes , it occurred to me just as I was walking by it. U probably saw me duck and throw my hand up. Definitely a good idea. Cheers and have a great week!
hello i don't want to be a safty susan kinda person BUT @ about the 5;55 mark PLEASE use a stick instead of your arm/hands/body .......thank you
Thanks Mean Joe. Good point. All the best!
