#6 It’s Finally Here!! WoodMaxx MX-8800 Wood Chipper

[@karencary3312]

Good job. Love watching chippers turn piles of unsightly brush into piles of neat, useful piles of chips.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Instant gratification with various uses around the ranch!

[@royjackson9576]

Great chipper!! I have the WM-8H model and it does great My recommendation is to get a forestry helmet with a mesh face shield...also comes with sound protection. Those branches can whip around quite a bit when feeding and the forestry helmet can protect your face. Gloves (tight at the wrists) are a good idea too

[@royjackson9576]

BTW, how much PTO HP does your tractor have?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks Roy! They are great machines and a great company to work with! I do tree work full time for a living so I am very used to the whipping branches! Eye and ear protection are a must! I believe my tractor puts out 32 hp at the pto

[@victorgillen2439]

I was considering a Woodland mills wc88 but notice it was having issues with the safety bar on lots of different videos. Not to mention the hopper math doesn't look correct ..the things people where doing to make the chipper seem really smooth.... like taking every limb off of a 2 in diameter piece of limb just to make it go through a 8 " chipper 😁😁just to make sure it didn't stop the feeder rollers😂 .. also chipping poplar with twig limbs and ceder just so they could market there product to 20/30 pto hp tractors 😂.I'm really glad a clicked on this video .. I will be getting one of these. . Thanks for a real word video 😆

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I do tree work for a living and use this chipper often for smaller limited access jobs. Time is money, and this chipper is the real deal! Don’t get me wrong, making relief cuts in the lateral branches definitely helps on larger diameter crotches but it will also break branches relatively easily. It’s no 16” Morbark, but when the right job arises it’s the perfect machine! Please mention Jake from Dude Ranch DIY if you do decide to purchase one!!

[@dirtyworkdiver]

Thanks for the demo- I'm convinced. The proof is in the chips!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Glad the video could help you! It’s really a fantastic machine! Thanks for the support!

[@dirtyworkdiver]

@@DudeRanchDIY I just got put on the waiting list. WoodMaxx is quoting a 20 week lead-time (on MX series) now!!! No chipping until spring!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

@@dirtyworkdiver Wow and I thought I had it bad with a 10 week wait time when I ordered back in the beginning of May! Its worth the wait!

[@williamwhite9275]

I enjoy my woodmaxx chipper I got it about 3 years ago and have not had the first complaint or problem yet with it

[@DudeRanchDIY]

They make a great product built right here in the USA. Thanks for watching!

[@timothyfondakowski1573]

Worked better than I thought it would

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I continue to be pleasantly surprised every time I use the chipper!

[@bud1412]

Thanks for video, and thanks for buying American.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

As soon as I heard there were Chinese and American made models my mind was made up! Thanks for watching and subscribing Chuck!

[@SouthernGuy27]

I appreciate this video. I just purchased 40ac and will need to do some cleaning up. This may be a real option for me. Might even could get a little return on the chips afterwards.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

The chipper works great, a little slower than a full size chipper but the maneuverability is unmatched! I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have!

[@MrLoudog7]

What part of South Carolina did you move to?

[@williamshemansky5480]

I’m digging all your reviews! I have many of your same products: EA roots rake grapple, mingo paint market, woodmaxx 8H chipper.... keep them coming!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

William Shemansky Great minds think alike! Thanks for the kind feedback William! I’ve really been enjoying using the equipment and making the videos! Plenty more to come...👍🏼

[@touyang2846]

this thing is a beast...

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Its performance surprises me constantly! Highly recommend!

[@HillsideAcres]

i had the 8h model it was good for some things but i had a few acres to clear so i bought a small dozer lol

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Haha that makes sense! They are helpful when you need to get into tight areas!

[@KYKAYAKER274ey1]

Awesome brother thanks

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks for watching!

[@Lunch_Peak]

Does the HST infeed adjust speed to prevent slowing the flywheel down to much?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It does! You can adjust the in-feed rate anywhere from 1'/min up to 75'/min. works quite well for hard wood like oak and beech.

[@cvmikeray2]

One of these is on my short list.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I’ve only used it once so far but was happy with its performance! Hoping to put some more hours on it in the coming days...

[@travisjackson6923]

Why does this chipper only have two blades where most of all the others have 4?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

The flywheel on this is 250lbs compared to 75lbs like most others.

[@ethanwoodall8525]

What's worth getting more one like this or an actual trailer ?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It really depends on your application, I use large tow behind 12”-18” chippers daily and they obviously have their advantages but the WoodMaxx chipper offered me much more versatility and access to areas where larger chippers can’t go. Anything too big for the chipper is loaded onto my dump trailer for firewood or goes to the dump. Another huge advantage is that I can move the tractor/chipper/grapple combo on my one trailer with one truck.

[@jeffjohnson2792]

Where's your hearing protection???? Or are you married and trying to kill the high-end register? ;)

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Not married yet… But I do always wear the small foam style earplugs that go inside of the ears! I know they’re hard to see but I find they work much better than the earmuffs on my hard hat I usually wear, I actually wear the earplugs and the earmuffs every day at my full-time job!

@@ba00173 gotta go when ya gotta go! 😂

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

This looks very tempting! We have a Woodmaxx PTO snowblower and love it!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

They make a great product and stand behind it!

[@yellowmetaldriver1460]

What PTO hp is your tractor in this vid?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I believe its 32 hp at the PTO, WoodMaxx requires a minimum of 20 PTO hp to run the chipper however having higher hp allows it to chip larger hardwood faster and more efficiently!

[@danielnixon1570]

I hoped to see you assemble the 8800. Everyone has done a chipping video already.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

They have a great assembly video on their website, its extremely straightforward.

[@barney1941]

I use a MADE IN USA match book , I need to upgrade to a 8800 0r 9900

[@kongheloise5141]

Good

[@KYKAYAKER274ey1]

What does your wife think about all your purchases just curious I’m married with kids

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I'm not married, thats how I get away with it! My gf supports the purchases, she understands how I make money off my equipment.

[@chrisbrossette]

Have an 'Implement Fund' and feed it regularly. When you have enough for something you need to make your work easier on your land, then you get it without affecting the family. One purchase was for a grapple and when a wind storm came through, I was able to cut up and move the 60' pines by myself with the tractor.. The grapple has paid for itself many times over in time and wear & tear on me. Just think about what you need and how they can help.

[@robertmycroft8268]

2 things, I have a modified Rumford cooking fireplace, so, some of the size of the wood you are chipping has me cringing over here. Second, you sold me... The Woodmaxx MX-8800 is for me. I have a ton of Alders that burn too hot and smell terrible, they will be fed to Maxx...and used for bedding. No, not mine...the cows.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

The WoodMaxx would be perfect for that, just keep the knives nice and sharp and let her eat!

[@barney1941]

[@Grmlk]

Your chipper is made in the USA but your tractor isn’t. 😔

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It was built in Georgia!

[@egonhaslebacher7082]

pity, can;t be said about the operator.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

What can’t be said about the operator?

[@romualdasmarcinkus7879]

i stopped watching when all the whacky music started

[@romualdasmarcinkus7879]

the beginning song was great though...

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It’s not for everyone, turn off the speakers 😂

[@fossildave]

@@DudeRanchDIY I thought the music was perfect for the work being done!!
