Super cool. Nice footage. Not a bad workout! Seems like those wood chips would be good for spreading over trails.

[@redtailwoods]

Nice to see a video of someone actually pushing its capacity! Lots of videos out there of people feeding twigs into it. About to place an order for the Woodmaxx wm8h. Lots of limbs to clear up around my property, and I'm already starting to feel a bit nervous about big burn piles as things dry out here.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It does exactly what they advertise, fyi the MX series is made in America with higher quality parts than the WM, if you can afford the price jump I’d highly recommend it!

[@jramsdenbb]

Like I’ve said before, it sure is nice to have the right equipment for the job! That said, chippers of any kind give me the willies. Kind of like PTO shafts. Disrespect them for one second and you can have a really bad day. Stay safe Jake and thanks for sharing.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

The chipper is quite a machine. No real risk of Pto danger considering your engaging the Pto from the seat of the tractor. I’d say there more risk of getting sucked into the chipper than Pto.

[@jramsdenbb]

@@DudeRanchDIY Agree on your point about your PTO situation with the chipper. I was speaking in general about them. So many horrific stories about people getting hurt, dismembered or killed. They give me the creeps. That’s “blink of the eye” shiz.

Great chipping session cleaning up the property!! Nice chipper!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thank you!

[@billobermeyer660]

Chipped for my first time last week and man that is a lot of work!!! Nice job Jake on those maples.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Haha the bigger the chipper the easier it is!

[@sswoodprocessing]

Nice work, Jake! That is nice to know about the chipper capacity. Take care 👍

[@GTDwithMatt]

Nice work Jake!

[@mountaintopoutdoors]

That wood chipper is a beautiful thing. Chipped that 6 inch maple with easy

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It works very well, just have to keep up with the knives being sharp.

[@donaldhilton731]

Just cooked dinner on . the grill for the family using 4 inch minus hard wood, I know you hear this often but, send it to me and save my back😅

[@diywithjonandpebbles]

That would be a nice video sometime from an arborist… Woodlot management and the life cycles they go through and what it means for the vegetation as well as wildlife

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It’s quite a process, one that I will enjoy working on as we continue to live on this property.

[@dropshot1967]

when you started chipping, for a moment I thought your tractors exhaust was smoking hard, then I realized the smoke was from the burn barrel. LOL

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Yep it’s always going haha

[@digger413]

Chipping firewood oh boy

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Oh boy, major shortage of firewood poles here at DRDIY let’s split 2” diameter saplings for kindling. 😂

Hello Jake, thats one nice chipper, Take Care 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks 👍

[@chrism3874]

Property looks great!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thank you! It’s getting there

[@JohnWoodbury-xk2cb]

Jake, thanks for showcasing the WOOMAXX MX8800. I’m considering getting one. Please let me know the model of your Kubota tractor. As it will be helpful as I consider if my Kubota tractor has enough horsepower at the PTO.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Kubota L3901

[@JohnWoodbury-xk2cb]

@ thank you so very much.

[@triciahill216]

Approximately, how long would you estimate it’ll take for the chips to rot down and become soil?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

No idea 🤷🏼‍♂️ a year or two?

[@donflack3778]

Nice job! KC Don 😉

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks! 😁

[@Frontireadventures]

Very nice.

[@damonr2233]

What you getting for seasoned wood? Like I show up with a dump trailer, or do you do wood in ibc crates?

Not exactly sure what you mean?

@@DudeRanchDIY ok thanks and by the way great video

[@williamwhite9275]

I really like my wood max chipper as well

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It’s a great machine!

[@marklengal9990]

I have a Mahindra Max 28xl. I think it 23hp at the rear PTO. Will it handle the maxx 8800?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It will, they advertise 20 hp Pto rear minimum. It will just take much longer and probably won’t be too happy about larger diameter hardwoods.

[@jimlashbrook5429]

I can not believe there is no shield on the PTO shaft. I know it is some what shielded but you could still get a sleeve in it and then goes your arm. Stay safe.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

There was a shield and it quickly fell off. The Pto is engaged from the seat of the tractor, when using the chipper you are about 6’ behind the shaft. You have a higher chance of getting pulled in the chipper than the shaft.

[@robrichardjr8358]

What size HP tractor were you using in the video?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

39hp

[@familymckendellcoxvanetta3734]

Do you sell those maple wood chips?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Not usually

[@stannelson2582]

Against the law…..chipping money lol. Each of those logs was 20 bucks in bundles lol.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

At least $20 per round. It’s a cardinal sin that I sent it through the chipper to demonstrate it can actually handle larger diameter hardwood. What was I thinking

[@stannelson2582]

@@DudeRanchDIY lol. The things I’d chip if I had a chipper that chipped like that. Lol. Great machine.

[@botabob]

Hickory tops are a blast to chip. NO?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Haha no hickory this time, with sharp knives it does hickory easily.

[@marklengal9990]

Can you compare to the woodland?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I’ve never personally used the Woodland Mills, I looked at it when buying and chose the WoodMaxx.

[@toddpacheco4748]

Jake give mr utility talking to for interrupting your video ❤😊👍

[@stephenniese2541]

You will split a piece down to less than 6 in but you will chip a 6 inch piece ??????

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Absolutely, one 6” round of wood makes two pieces of firewood. Not worth my time. The chips are pore valuable to me to suppress underbrush from growing in my newly cleared woods.

[@akdouglas6633]

Heavens sake man get the shields on your pto. I know of 3 farmers killed by those things.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

The shields that came on it quickly fell off the Pto shaft. It is engaged from the seat of the tractor and when feeding brush into the chipper you are a good 6’ away from the shaft. You have a higher likelihood of getting pulled into the chipper than the Pto shaft.

[@diywithjonandpebbles]

Ya know…. Be quicker to just Brush hawg all that little stuff down in about 1/2 hour

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I don’t know too many brush hogs that can mow down 6” sugar maples Jon.
