safety bar should be reversed, if get sucked in youre more likely to pull on it
I do believe that's the industry standard my brotha
No , if you fall toward the chipper , you will be pushing on the bar to push yourself back away from the chipper. This is the normal setup , if you bump into it , the feeder will stop or reverse direction.
If you are being pulled in..your arms reach up and hit the safety bar, pushing it forward...reversing the feed.
Josh, I have the PTO version of this chipper and I love it. Mine has a slip clutch in the PTO and everything is belt driven, including the flywheel/fan. I use it on my 25 HP compact tractor and it works great.
I always appreciate you talking about safety precautions.
That gas can is a must for me how cool all in one picking one up tomorrow!! Thanks for the awesome info!
I guess you saw the link in the video description! I just bought myself another one for each shop
These chippers are great. Have the PTO driven one for my 30hp tractor. The design uses the PTO to power a hydraulic motor is way better than a direct drive. Won’t break shear pins and way less strain on the tractor. We have pushed the 8” limit and it works perfectly.
Josh
I love the term “chuck and duck”. That a perfect description!!
I’m in GA at a similar latitude to you and I’ve had great success using somewhat aged woodchips on bare areas. The southern grasses - Bermuda and centipede are very encouraged and fill in quickly. The mulch holds moisture and adds soil activity as it breaks down further.
It’s best to use chips made while leaves and needles are still on - the greenery adds nitrogen to the mix so the mulch isn’t robbing from the plants you want to grow.
Josh that tool is brilliant
We have the woodmax 3pt pto on a case 45a,have had the unit since 2014...only had to change belts and cutter knives!...GREAT,UNIT..GLAD YOU GOT ONE.
I have to imagine this will be a huge bonus for you in your soil building. With the apparent large amount of woods on your property, it would appear you have plenty of material for the picking to chip up and spread out on the pastures.....its only a question of time and effort. 1 truckload at a time......Nice looking piece of gear.
Thanks for the awesome review, Josh! Can't wait to see what else is in store!
thanks!
This will be a very useful addition on the farm!
I must agree with you that the Stihl chainsaw sharpener is great. I can sharpen my saw so quick and easy.
That’s an awesome wood chipper! Getter done sir!
Hardwood chips good for mulch around trees and deciduous bushes, also flower gardems.. good for vegetable garden paths too. Just till it in in fall for next year.
Very helpful video! I like your thinking on why you chose a chipper to use on the skid steer rather than the tractor.
Man thats a nice wood chipper, great addition to the farm.
The Auto feed is so much safer than the chuck and run chippers, What a awesome Unit
Definitely a very nice looking and appears to be well built machine. I have been wanting one for my T190 so maintain and clean up our homestead while we're building it. Can you maybe do a follow up on it in a few months after some more use? With the beetle kill spruce all over our property this would make quick work of the pucker pole clean up that needs to be done!
Nice chipper Josh!..I agree with you liking it better than 3 point hook up 👍🇺🇸
Looks like a great machine keep on chipping
Man you got the best toys! Love your channel!
The Stihl 2 in 1 chain sharpener is actually made by another German company and branded Stihl.
This wood chipper looks like it’s a good one and from the comments it is.
I have the same chipper in the PTO version and I cant say enough good about it. USA made as well.
I would think that you would get everything cut to size, sorted and then fire up the chipper to save wear and tear on the equipment! I know your demonstration the chipper but when you not that’s the best way to go!
5 mins of running won't hurt the chipper my brotha...however you are totally correct
I wonder if you could direct your chips into your manure spreader and then hit some bare spots that way?
so....yes...and no....I have a litteral mountain of wood chips out in the front of the house from a tree company that brings it to me....so time better spent loading the manure spreader there and spreading tons of material v/s about 3 5 gallon buckets full from this brush
Hey Josh. I saw last year Russ Wilson’s video on using canola oil as Bar oil. I’ve been using it it seems to work pretty and it’s cheaper to!
interesting idea...I'd say any oil will work....I'd rather use Canola in my chainsaw than in my food that's for sure lol
No kidding! lol
handy tool big guy! :) . lots of good ideas of things available. I'm in new market for chainsaw sharpener and love the tote for the bar oil/gas. man that's a goodin. yeah no kidding, I was standing behind Rod when he was cutting something hit me below my right
eye. (so safety is so important). I have a duerr woodchipper with Tecumseh. It has carb issues, trying to start it is like trying to start a 2 Cycle helicopter.
Chuck-n-Duck: that there is funny! 🤣
Hey Josh thank you for the video woo
I have the MX 8800 PTO chipper . I have yet to take it off the skid. Only had it a couple weeks.
You really know a lot , about a lot !!!
as every man should my friend
Mahn! New and quality equipment, chipper, log splitter, chain saws, shed built right. What is next? It would be a pleasure to work on your farm. Question: Do you have that electric tractor or was it for demonstration?
I don't have the electric tractor...that was the factory demo and he happened to be in the area so he stopped by
It probably would be a good idea that it takes 2 people to run a wood chipper. I’m not sure if you had a camera man or not. But it’s scary to think what could happen if you were caught in one. Think Tony Surprano had two of them.
Feeling chipper this AM ….saw it…liked it…more biomass less burning 🔥 except for smokin good eats.
Let's see it work! The review was 90% other talk and just a couple little branches tossed in
Dud you say this is a limbing? I also was impressed by that orange metal log lifting off the ground tool, first I thought what's this another dumb tool but quite useful.
You jeep on putting out great vids
Best David
👍👍👍👍👍👌
Love the channel 💪 just thinking 💭how you actually smash it out of the park on the solo uploads. Informative and entertaining! . Just Maybe you should consider a separate channel with you and miss stoney Ridge(soon to be Mrs stoney Ridge again I'm sure 💕) , let her shine on the second channel with you , allowing her taking the lead 🤲💥👌
Thanks so much, make no mistake that Ms SR is working a full time job off the farm and it takes me about 60-80 hours a week to create content and build the property....time is our biggest struggle here, we've still gotta find time for oneanother off the farm
Like the chipper steer wood chipper but I personally would cut most of the tree even 2in diameter limbs as fire wood realize you not have that much need for fire wood but the think wood would make campfire wood for evening fires also the ashes from small wood potentially has more potash that be good in garden for select vegetables
really do spell better but auto correct does weird things when hit send
man...having that new wood splitter really changes the way you think about firewood...I'm with you though...I don't wanna waste anything..hence the chipper for brush instead of just dragging into the woods...can't stand waste
Actually your chain sharpener is the off brand. Tree workers have used those for years but they were made by the original company. Stihl rebranded it
👍👍👍
At 12:25 what is the name of that clamp, type of clamp is that, what is purpose of it & what does that clamp do to the logs that you are using on those big pieces of logs???🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I only have one question for you who will be the next generation on the farm (I'm fine if you don't want to disclose that information).
not married...therefore no children yet
What is the hydraulic gpm required to operate the chipper. Have a standard flow skid steer. Not the high flow. Therefore this is important not to over heat the hydraulic cooling system on skid steer.
For instance bush hog attachments will do this if not matched to gpm of machine.
16-30gpm required for this machine...you can order the optional oil cooler with it if using in hot temps. My flow is 21.8gpm
Was hear
Wooooo
Josh, what happened to your battery chainsaw? I saw you using the gas powered one in the video.
I thought that battery chainsaw was more than enough. I have a DeWalt battery chainsaw, and it's perfect for my application.
yep....battery saw is good for small limbs...but not for this larger stuff....to be honest I prefer battery for small stuff but pro saw for larger log rounds
Your decision on using the hydraulic version was certainly sound. Hooking up PTO takes way more time than hydraulic hoses, even if you could do the 3 point connection as fast as the SSQA. It is nice to have a variety of tools.
My only advice on using the chipper for smoker wood is to make sure you start with a clean machine. You would not like getting some poison ivy, or the like, in the chips for your food.🤢
If you have any pecan that needs cutting, it makes an excellent smoke for meats as well.
I always have a bear of a time hooking up the flat face connections. That is on my grapple anyway. If it settles at all and the cylinders get compressed either direction the force needed to connect is brutal. I’m not half the man I used to be but I’m no sissy man either. I end up breaking out wrenches and releasing the pressure that way. And I always shut down the skid steer and release the pressure before detaching.
So my point is the PTO doesn’t sound like a bad option at all!!! Quick attach pto and the quick attach 3-point. Don’t see a problem!!
@@andyjones6361 My tractor has I-match, but one still must reach between that arbor to hook up the PTO and it is a "headache" literally sometimes. Also, going forward to pick up an implement is better/faster than backing. Those motors should not hold pressure when they aren't running, so hookup and disconnect should not be as difficult as a grapple might be. Only having a tractor, as I do, would mean PTO, or self powered.
@@williamgaines9784 I really thought about getting a self powered chipper. I have looked at the equipment auction sites and they still pretty pricy and you never know what problems you might be buying! maybe the thing for me would be to line up my work at the property with a big pile and then rent one and run it fast and hard. Run it like a borrowed mule as they say!!
LMAO, YOu’re getting bush fever. LOL
I love your idea of returning organic matter to your soil Very sound practice I still havent heard a comment about you being a nurse when you give antibiotics to a human but opposed to it to give to your livestock Doesnt make much sense the way you defend that approach???
I don't prescribe antibiotics...my cows are not in the intensive care unit with super infections...if I have a sick animal I treat it...I do not believe we should give humans or animals antibiotics when they are well. If you have to give an animal, raised for consumption, antibiotics in it's food because it's living conditions would be unsuitable for survival...what does that say about your food? That's my defense...I'm not a physician...therefore I don't make the decisions for antibiotic administration....I follow orders....I don't treat the WELL....I treat the sick..seems like a good way to run a farm doesn't it....not running a feed lot that depends on prophylactic antibiotics for survival in overcrowded and manure filled lots my friend. That's the rub...common sense isn't it?
Great video. Im in the market for one of there. Can you operate them without someone in the cab of the skid steer?
yep...just like the video shows....nobody is in the machine
The GEHEL has a safety kill switch under the seat. if you get out it dies? How do you bypass the safety switch??
it doesn't have a safety kill switch like that my brotha.....when you get out of the seat it engages the brake but doesn't kill the machine like a lawn mower. I'm in and out of it all of the time while running
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer That must be a new feature. The old Gehl did not have that, But that was 10 years ago. lol, Thanks for the update.
How much?
🇺🇸👀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👀👀☕️☕️☕️🍻🍻🍻👍👍👍🥃🥃🥃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Can you adopt me, so I can use 1/2 of the implements you show us? A weekly allowance is a plus... just sayin... Dad.
It does not chip backwards LOL
lol..sometimes I have to state the obvious that's for sure lol
For some reason, youtube un-subscribed me??
shew...I'm sorry....I'm finding this happens every once in a while to folks
Looks like a nice machine, but don't you burn a lot of fuel through the skidsteer when using it? Seems to me it would. If diesel was cheap, like it should be, it wouldn't be bad, but the last time I filled my pickup it was $5.69 a gallon.
Chuckled when you said about it being chilly, it was 17° when I got up. Still is for that matter.
On another issue; Does Ms. Stony Ridge have a name? You always just call her Ms. Stony Ridge.
The skid loader doesn't burn alot of fuel my friend....what we did today probably cost me $4 now...do ya really need to ask about Ms. SR...out of respect to her privacy we call her Ms. SR...what's the difference in the grand scheme of things? One day we were joking on a vid and I called here Vanna as she handed me something...for the next 4 months folks were leaving comment for Vanna lol...I guess they never watched wheel of fortune bhahhhaha
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I remember that video, I knew what you were referring to. I only asked because I feel calling someone Mr., Mrs. or Ms., while respectful, rather impersonal. I like to think of a lot of you folks on TH-cam as acquaintances, even though we have never met in person. I understand her feelings.
caipira
chico lobo
composição: chico lobo
viola quando a noite desce se vem lua cheia traz cantoria
vadia estrela menina fonte de amor e de alegria
por isso eu sou cantador violeiro no sertão canto as tristezas da terra
mas também a força desse chão
depois de enxada no campo é viola na mão
sou caboclo que ao romper do dia vai pro roçado na hora da lida
mulher cuida do café e de rosinha a mais pequenininha
por isso eu sou plantador colho os frutos do meu chão
em troca ofereço suor mas recebo com juros o pão
depois de enxada no campo é viola na mão
sob o sol sou matuto da roça
sob a lua eu canto de viola
foi assim que me fiz caipira
sobre as bênçãos de nossa senhora
sob o sol sou matuto da roça
sob a lua eu canto de viola
foi assim que me fiz caipira
sobre as bênçãos de nossa senhora
e depois de enxada no campo é chegado a hora da minha viola
why are you posting this as a comment?
