Branches will Never be a Problem again - Wood Chipper build

Branches and branches, chippers and chippers ...
This time we decided to show you a very simple mechanism, without the use of additional bearings, pulleys, V-belts and so on.
Some technical data:
The front and back of the housing are made of 6 mm sheet metal
The side of the enclosure and the inlet for branches are 2 mm thick
The cutting disc is 10 mm thick with a circumference of 260 mm.
The maximum thickness of the branches is about 50 mm.
The chipper works well, it pulls in the branches itself, and the bagger attachment allows you to collect the wood chips and spread it anywhere.

Another OUTSTANDING job!!! I could spend a whole afternoon watching your creations! One thing though if I may, I do believe you need an extendable support feet in front.🙂

[@Jarastlad]

Never annoy a Pole, he'll make you disappear ^^ Every time I watch your videos, I can't stop thinking how rugged and tough your machines are ! Keep the videos coming, always fun to watch !

[@kevincorapi137]

That can be an easy way to damage your engine. The flywheel/chipper disk should be supported on both sides with a pillow block bearing. Only a pulley, or centrifugal clutch, should be connected to the engine. A belt should be used to transfer the power from the engine to the chipper disk. This will protect your engine and make the machine much more stable, effective, and efficient

[@IVIich4eL]

My man, its a 4 stroke GX160 knock off, known as Ali Express Special from China. With a Quick search I can tell ya, that they go for around $70-$75 if you buy one, if you buy 10 or more it's roughly 40 USD, so I doubt that he cares if that Honda clone dies after one season.

[@JT-tz5hp]

@@IVIich4eL What an absurd comment

[@mattyal9347]

@@JT-tz5hp I wonder if it's possible to incorporate a shear pin of sort in this design.

[@pan_rebak]

@Kevin Corapi You are absolutely right But… there are also commercially sold Chinese machines that are driven directly by the engine. They are very cheap, for amateur use

[@MrGordy61]

Kevin those were my thoughts also when I bought a used 1992 Craftsman (MTD) chipper shredder, that is still running well with the cutter assembly mounted directly to the crank. I put about 10 -15 hours on it a year.

[@nickjanssens]

What a fascinating build, when I started to watch it was very difficult to stop.

Now this is what I call "Heavy-duty wood chipper" well done man!

[@PiFe00]

I'm sorry but it isn"t. The design is flawed in that the flywheel is not supported properly and connected directly to the output shaft. A belt transmission would greatly improve longevity, as it is now it'll burn out quickly.

[@tonygagey]

Once again a beautiful job, well done mate! Well done! Please keep up the outstanding work!

Good build, I agree with the belt drive as well, and a must , you need a bigger base/foot print so the machine won't move as much or tip over. But over all very nicely made, love watching you work and build. Thank you for sharing your work, life, world. God bless brother

[@leagielinao6647]

Good gob👍

[@solarguy6043]

Those Honda clone engines are a fantastic deal. For rough service, I have had great luck with using mild steel for the blades, but running a couple beads of hard surface rod for the cutting edge. The mild steel body won't crack or shatter, and the hardened edge has great service life.

[@TheDistur]

That's interesting!

[@artursmihelsons415]

I agree about these Honda clone engines... 😉 Only one time, I had an issue with one manufacturer, when after 5 hours of use, engine decided to shot himself with exhaust valve through engine case because of broken spring.. 😂 One time from 1000 isn't so bad..

[@regsparkes6507]

I was wonder about mild steel blades,.. and about hard facing too. Thanks for the answer to my question.

[@Bob_Adkins]

I had a 6' bush hog that had soft blades and got dull in 3-4 hours. I hard-faced them and they lasted about 12-16 hours. I then got the blade tips red hot and quenched in oil, and they lasted about 24 hours.

[@regsparkes6507]

@@Bob_Adkins This is very helpful, thanks for your reply, Bob.

[@assassinlexx1993]

Great little chipper. On other chippers there are feed wheels. To keep a control amount going into the chipper. Clever engineering and how to bag the chips.

[@mihamaker]

I would probably go with the belt drive. But those are not so big branches, hope crank and bearings withstand it in the long run.

[@Dougerro]

True. Every professional wood chipper has a belt drive.

[@mihamaker]

@@Dougerro For sure, but I understand the concept. It will be used on his homestead after seasonal pruning, not commercially

[@iteerrex8166]

A belt would’ve softened the shocks, and increase torque. But if it’s for personal use on small branches, keeping the large ones for fire wood, it may do fine.

[@wysiwygsd]

Very enjoyable video to watch a master metal worker at his craft. Now I just need to go purchase about $20,000 USD worth of metal working tools, and I can build one too. Your skills are amazing and the video editing is perfect. For some builders on KZbin, this would have been a 2 hour video, showing how they drilled every hole, tapped every hole and all in real time. 10 Stars.

[@Argosh]

He did build most of his stuff himself.

[@irishful1]

got an old electric woodchipper that came with recently sharpened blades and when I looked at them close-up, there was nothing wrong with them so I chipped most of my branches until I decided to sharpen them just for fun. turns out that the blade profile plays a huge role, it must be a perfect chisel grind, any amount of curvature or ''rolling over'' near the apex of the blade will make the cutting harder. i used a tormek t8 with a jig and the outcome was about 2x better chipping, I didn't have to push in the branches, they were sucked in immediately. the blades were very sharp when I got the chipper.

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

Not to mention they where hardened steel blade. These will dull in 1 branch.

[@UnitSe7en]

A round edge doesn't cut as well as a sharp one? Wow! Thanks for letting everyone know!

Love watching you make stuff! Nice job! Isn't this like the third chipper shredder you've made?

[@Farm_fab]

that looks so like it will work well. most commercial units like this have the feed side on the engine side and have 4 or maybe 6 impellers on the other side that produces more air. I'd say it works well as is, but if you wanted to spread the chips out more, you would need bigger impellers.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Nice machine, and the chips are perfect for the compost pile.

[@jimbodee4043]

Good design and nice step by step. Finished article looked professionally assembled and produced. At no point did I see you balancing the weight of the spinning cutting disc though, similar to how wheels on cars have weights added to balance them I feel this should be done here. Also the bolt/screws should all have something like Loctite on them to stop the vibrations loosening them. Lastly I am not sure how idiot proof the shoot feeder was as you seemed frightened of it when you put the 1st 2 branches in. End result great shredded bark.

[@1crazypj]

That's a real nice build, if I had the equipment and motivation I would make one like that. I had a small 2hp electric chipper for about 20 years, finally managed to destroy it this year after years of abuse and living outside. (really shouldn't cut 30-40 mm branches but it did, for years) Bought a used 6.5hp one 'almost new' and it's destroyed almost everything I've put in it but won't do the 3" (75mm) branches it's advertised as being able to cut (unless they are almost rotten, but then they fall apart anyway) It struggles quite a lot with 40mm oak but otherwise, great

[@joyfool1225]

Very nice building process ❤love it.

[@jpsimon206]

If you make the exhaust chute get wider and flatter, it doubles the utility. If you just weld a 20 inch piece of quarter inch rod to the swivel, it's very easy to spray mulch in people's garden beds and then follow up with a quick leaf blower. It's a great money maker, they presume you will be out there for 6 or 7 hours carefully raking out mulch. When you can just shoot it everywhere and have a few guys blow it off of the shrubs, it looks exactly the same and you are out of there in an hour. What I'm talking about applies more to pre-bought mulch, I don't know how common that is in your part of the world, but perhaps you could start stockpiling a few different colors and occasionally turn them over so that customers can pick what they want to look at. These are the best customers you can ask for, they want everything to look tended to constantly, but they will never risk getting dirt under their fingernails. That's the way to go, lock them up into a steady twice a month automatic cleanup service on invoice. You can work when they are almost always at their jobs, so there can be no argument between whether you are being paid for the job or by the hour. Cheers

[@scotthutson736]

Well my friend, ya done a thing. Nice work!

[@Accumulator1]

Another great video build! I sure need a build like that here but uable now. Maybe next lifetime. That motor sure has a good governor kick to it. I would make the side cover hinge open. Sooner or later a branch will jam and need be unclogged to restart.

[@elijuseee]

Nice machine, interesting how it performs if change funnel angle to less sharp angle. Maybe it feeds less aggressive?

[@danielclark5170]

I have a Mtd wood chipper that looks a lot like that. About the only thing that it needs is to sharpen the knives on it every couple of years. The tree branches cut best if they're still green, dry branches are a little harder. But it makes a lot of mulch just like yours.

I have a commercially made chipper with the chute slightly longer than your arm, that way you cannot touch the blades, a very simple way of making it relitivly safe and keeping fingers where they are meant to be. I would agree with others about the belt drive, but the downside of that is the machine becomes less compact, which is one of its great attributes, mine is the length of a wheelbarrow, liked the build.
