[@jrollj6575]

Now that's a cool tool, Now Tony is going to want one!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, he should get one!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Wow!! That was interesting and saddening at the same time😂 At least it’s still getting used in chip form. Thanks for sharing Chris👍🏻👍🏻GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

It all gets burned for biomass /heat.

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Morning Chris , that chipper is AWESOME . Thanks for sharing . 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@johnsandell4501]

What a thrill to see that chipper in operation. THANKS 👍👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnchristie1423]

You took one for the team......filming in the rain. This has been a very interesting week to watch. That big cottonwood was probably 5 or 6 cu meters of chips.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it eats well!

[@haroldanderson2781]

That thing is a beast!! I could watch it all day!! Thanks Mr. Chris!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Lots more to come...thanks!

[@toddpacheco4748]

Chris,you most definitely 👍 never 👎 want to to close to that chipper because you’re never going to be seen again for sure that is the biggest chipper I’ve ever seen but I know that there are bigger ones out there excellent video Jason knows what he is doing no doubt about that 😮😊❤

[@InTheWoodyard]

Very true! Thanks!

[@davidedwards3734]

Like to watch the big chippers!! Thanks for taking us along!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@Mainelywork]

🤘Impressive machine. Fun to watch!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks! 👍

[@bradleys2857]

I just purchased the Harbor Freight chipper to clean up the brush around my yard from storms and from when I cut down the occasional tree for firewood. I knew my chipper was about the smallest one on the market (it does work well for me so far though), but watching this video has humbled me big time! Another great video, really cool to see this equipment in action.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Sounds great! Keep chippin'!

[@aldredske6197]

Hi Chris!!😀😀 That chipper really likes to chip that big cotton wood. Take care buddy!!😀💚 Logger Al

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, she eats well!

[@danelionheart5881]

Now that is an old chipper hard to believe it is still working as good. I have seen many different chippers. But love them all. You know back in Maine they use to pull the stumps and most would be well over 40 in and they would drop them in the chipper and then send them off to make fire logs out of them. Believe it or not most people used fire logs just for looks they didn't use it for heating. I have used them for both and was surprised to see how well they can heat but they don't last long in a wood-stove.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

@danelionheart5881 more likely to be a tub grinder for stumps. Those machines make this chipper look small. But the tub grinders pretty much make the same end product as a chipper.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it is an old but good one!

[@danelionheart5881]

@@thefirewooddoctor Yes but it is fun to watch it do the job. I have worked with wood most my life yet I get the most pleasure from watching other do it lmao. We use to take a light saw to prune a tree because it was easier to prune the tree while it was upright then laying down. We would climb as far up as we could and then cut from the top down. I use to climb window makers just to get them down and just before they hit the ground I would jump off . Man I did a lot of crazy things in my stupid days lmao.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Just got a 395xp saw. My God, is that thing loud. Heavy too. Can't wait to grt it into the wood.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nice...it will cut!

[@meltedwheeliebin]

Insane piece of kit.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@i_would_but_i_wont]

Awesome machine. I knew a guy who worked with a guy that got sucked into a wood chipper.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ouch!

[@briannelson4493]

It gives a whole new meaning to the words chips ahoy. I couldn’t think of a better way to clean up after myself.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, they eat fast!

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Yay! Chipper day 😊 A local, to me, school has a biomass system. They average a semi load a week. They heat, get hot water, maintain the pools temperature,and air-condition (I'm not sure how A/C works with biomass 🤷) with their biomass reactor. Good video 👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Sounds great! More to come!

[@two-strokesmoke7289]

Chippers are fun I have a very small pto driven one. It will swallow and chew about a 7 or 8 inch log. It requires at 30-40 HP tractor. I kind of forgot about it until I watched your video, now I know how I am going to clean up some of the storm damage from this summer!!!!! (I must be getting "old timers disease" like our prez!!!)

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, they are fun to watch eat!

[@jeffcarinda1719]

Awesome video! One of your best!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks, more to come!

[@obxkoastie8170]

Chris...Amazing piece of machinery and really fun to watch the operator keep it fed! I wonder with running all that "junk" through it how often he needs to sharpen the teeth? Or maybe it's like a chainsaw...give it enough horsepower and the sharpens of the cutters becomes less of an issue. Living in Eastern VA during Isabelle, they came in with these two 1000hp tub grinders. It was amazing watching those things grind up and spit out anything their grapples could lift. I watched 50" pine logs 20 feet long get ground to chips in about three minutes.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it is amazing how fast they can eat a tree!

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

That chipper is a beast

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@roncaron-l1r]

Hi Chris in my Wood Yard we did the same thing we had all those machine and I work Driving its fun (Ty Ron

[@InTheWoodyard]

Very cool!

[@larryvankirk7423]

Chipper is a hungry beast. Was there a second person operating the chipper or remotely operated from the forwarder? Nice job capturing the action and sharing with us. GNI

[@ClarenceObert]

I was going to ask the same thing!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes he does have a remote and he can run it himself also.

[@rickhamm3962]

That chipper is awesome. Was wondering what a New one would cost today? Awesome footage.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks, I have no idea??

[@Brian-Outdoors]

They were going around Appleton with a chipper this size cutting down all the dead ash trees on my side of town. I remember seeing that chain drive feeding system on the chipper and thinking this is big time. They would grab and cut whole sections of the tree and run it through the chipper including the base of the tree with a large excavator. The tree bases were easily 20+ inches. Took them 15 minutes to do three threes. It was awesome! The tree service was from Minocqua.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, they do like to eat!

[@centralmassoutdoors]

A chipper with 525HP - Cue the Home Improvement grunt: Argh!, ARGH!, Argh!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it eats well!

[@markd9105]

That's cool to watch. I'm considering getting a chipper I have a stack of branches 10'x5' tall that I end up burning that would make good mulch.

[@InTheWoodyard]

You would probably better off burning it and getting some free chips/mulch from you town/city disposal site.

[@markd9105]

@@InTheWoodyard I think they charge for mulch. Considering what chippers cost it probably would still be cheaper to buy mulch and burn the branches.

[@BGWenterprises]

Dont worry there are 1,200 hp versions. They bog down just the same as that one does. Its pretty common for them to have a removable wheel dolly, and then when on site they run around on tracks with a remote control system. . The latest new push is makeing charcoal on site with a contained air curtain over the top. They haul it off in the same sorta chip trailers. When the price point for putting it bulk on farm fealds hits the market for it will open up immensely is my understanding.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Cool!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Lots of power. Did you know your Standard 4door sedan has 160 to 200HP off the show room floor.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, more is better!

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

GOBBLE! GOBBLE! 👍🇺🇸

[@InTheWoodyard]

It eats!

[@coreyriley7160]

G’morning Chris. That thing is hungry ! That really gets ‘er did !! Any videos at Kenny’s coming up ? GoodNightIrene

[@InTheWoodyard]

I will get back there eventually!

[@timbain2718]

That is so neat

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks, more to come!

[@ClarenceObert]

Good morning Chris. Do you know what they plan on doing about the stumps left behind? Curiosity question is all. Thanks and have a great day.

[@InTheWoodyard]

An excavating company will remove them.

[@billobermeyer660]

Unreal, nothing that goes in there has a chance! GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

It all is chipped!

[@bman5903]

Sounds like an helicopter comin in for a landing 😂

[@LindaHeadrick]

It does!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@Alstigen]

Here in Sweden we have hydro, wind, nuclear and solar. We export about a quarter of all the energy produced in the country. But fully 35% of all energy consumed here is from our forests and nearly all of that is chipped. Waste not, want not.

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is awesome! Thanks for the info!

[@brockhalstead4421]

Morning all

[@InTheWoodyard]

Hello!

[@NeighborlyHomestead]

What a BEAST!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!!

[@bekaerttrio2231]

👍👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!!!

[@EricChmelarsky]

If you wipe your butt with TP, thank a logger today. All things paper, from towels, printing paper, plates, napkins, cardboard and newspaper. Pulp wood comes from operations like this, paper products are made from it. Lets see now, do you believe an operation like this one will ever be able to run on batteries? From the man on the saw to the drivers hauling to the papermill. 😮

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, I agree with all said!

[@Alstigen]

Never say never. We don't know what battery technology will look like in 50 years.

[@kurtloftfield4537]

Good morning all!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good morning!

[@radfishguy6784]

You guys need a chipper like that in the Woodyard!

[@InTheWoodyard]

It would be fun!

[@rverro8478]

One for the algorithm.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!!!

[@kevinmason3086]

A lot of wood is going to waste in the chipper. They could cut it down to firewood pools

[@InTheWoodyard]

Wrong.... It is ALL used for biomass heating....not event the twigs, bark, saw dust or leaves are wasted...it is all used.

[@GregPrince-io1cb]

The teeth on the grinder must be solid steel chompers!!! That old caterpillar motor just loves that draw down on the rpms.... Best motors ever built before the government got involved. GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

It does eat well!

[@jacquelynhull2261]

Isn't cottonwood fire wood and their chewing it up so very sad.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Cottonwood is poor firewood and all of the chipped wood will be used as biomass for heat and generating energy.....so..firewood.

[@GregPrince-io1cb]

Good Morning Woodhounds!(-:
