My gosh that was painful to watch. Better off letting your 4 year old play with a chain saw then help with the chipper. Not to mention you were loading the branches backwards which increases the chances of your kid getting snagged and dragged into the chipper. Not a smart move. I wouldn't even let my kids outside while i'm using the chipper. All it takes is one second of not paying attention. I'm all about teaching kids to work hard, but not with something that will turn them into hamburger patty.
Dang dude u got to be burning up with all those clothes on that little kid need to be far back n she need glasses on but good job cleaning up your back yard
@@AlessioSangalli do you not understand that this machine could pull your child in while your back is turned? You're not watching him. You're working. There is a profound difference, and it's life and death.
@@andyb4071 maybe you do not know that children are not like random particles in the atmosphere that bounce around. Especially those that have been exposed to actual work, they know how to behave around machinery.
March 2016 I bought a BC700xl. The very first day the hydraulic system had a leak from or improperly installed and loose fittings. From the start he machine frequently clogged and stopped feeding. I lost dozens of hours on the job opening cutter wheel and feed wheel clearing it out . One day a few months after I got it I found cutting wheel bolts in the hopper. Quite a few times I had to cancel work in progress and lost production days. It has created a burden in scheduling and completing jobs to get paid impacting crucial cash flow and jeopardizing the viability of my business. I had 6 mechanical failures from manufacturing in first 200 hrs. That chipper was the single biggest drain on productivity for my business. RDO equipment did not acknowledge this was a problem or take any responsibility for selling a machine that was continually plagued with performance and mechanical issues. Just business as usual for RDO and Vermeer chippers! Vermeer and RDO completely fail and do not care if lost production from poorly manufactured equipment ruins your business. RDO was not honest or trustworthy. Vermeer chippers are total crap production quality. Even when bought brand new they will continually break down. In mine the bearings failed in the first 200 hours. The RDO mechanic got it covered under warranty when he proved it was a factory assembly issue. Still I lost weeks and weeks of work dozens of hours and thousands of miles making 150 mi round trip back and forth to the dealer. Customers found others to do the work employees lost wages and told me they were looking for another job. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY THESES TOTAL CRAP MACHINES!!!!!! April 2019 I bought a brand new Bandit 70 xp. It now has over 200 hrs in 3 years and not one single problem!!!
@@AlessioSangalli I own and maintain a Vermeer BC1000Xl diesel chipper, for use on my property. Not all Vermeer chippers have the smart feed (auto feed) option. Those chippers equipped with auto feed the feature is automatic. There is no switch, just a feed wheel speed control. The material you were feeding was not stalling the machine so for this use it was not necessary. And yes in the US all those operating the machine must wear safety equipment. Ciao
@@Rick-se5qm Yeah dewd,we had a little boy get snagged and dragged through the chipper here in the states not long ago,his dad turned for 1 second and he was gone.

There you go people, kids and chippers, totally safe.
I agree, thanks for the comment!

Small children and chippers is never a good idea bro,be careful,all it takes is one snag.
Now that you have the chips on the tarp what did you do with them?
Nothing, I forgot what I did that time but I either used it as mulch but more likely just put in the compost
Don't walk in front of the discharge. Ouch.
u need a bigger trap lol
Why doesn't the kid have safety goggles? Or the Mom? Lol
Well since then I have bought them gloves! Much easier
Dang dude u got to be burning up with all those clothes on that little kid need to be far back n she need glasses on but good job cleaning up your back yard
Has your kid helped feed the chipper
It is not safe to have a child near a wood chipper.
Unsupervised children and women shouldn't operate a machine of this kind, I agree, but I was there

In my case I just got the one they had at the rental yard
Wow, how many places are you going to post your same little rant? You hate Vermeer we get it.
@@aaroninks 😂i know right. Im sure was his fault ln the machine
He has no clue on how to set the auto feed
It was the first time I rented anything like that, so that is accurate. What did I do wrong and what would you have done?
