Buying a Cheap Tractor Powered pto Chipper to clean up branches and reduce fire risk.

I cut up a few pine trees for next winters firewood, there were tons of branches left behind so I got the cheapest Tractor pto powered chipper I could find in New Zealand. It made short work of the job.

[@eagle17nz]

Hi there Mary. ..from Marty. Love your videos. They are very helpful and inspiring for me. Can I give you a little tip? The next time the ram charges you give him a swift kick right between the eyes! I'm serious. It impersonates another ram charging back. Don't worry about their sculls, they're are built like a reinforced battering ram (pun intended). It was my only means of survival when in close quarters with stud Marino rams that wanted to run over you. I found most rams did not go past 3 kicks. They would shake their heads and walk off wondering what had just happened. You would get more respect from them next time too. But, don't leave one by himself in a race behind you! He clipped me from behind in the back of the knee and sent me flying. He probably went back to his mates and gloted..."I finally got that shepherd!"

[@handyhippie6548]

@@MartyT that's the first thought i had too. it's already about the right height for one. you can use what you cut off of the leg when you adjust for height to make an angle brace at the corners. but if i had something to fix right away, i'd use it for that instead. free virgin steel angle doesn't grow on trees, and i hate cutting one thing up for materials, and having to splice pieces together up to fix or build something else. i do enough of that.

Used to love the cold weather and played out in it like a fool same as everyone else, but now at 72 would rather be at home Indoors - lol.. Also miss my once log fires but our now my, retirement bungalow was updated with "Air Source" heating units so make hot water from cold air like a magician/ so. no need for logs as we dont have an open fire or stove - All Electric.. But, must look to the future I guess.. Just got a warning on my phone from the water supply company telling the coming thaw next week will bring broken pipes and water escaping If not careful, so that means the underground mains supplies breaking maybe.. Nice to look forwards too - lol - Thanks for the video Marty - Ian. Coastal North Essex - UK.

Hi Marty, I bought this chipper 7 years ago. Overall it's ok, you just have to be careful with wet material and very thin branches - the outlet is blocked. He works for me as a producer of bio mass for the boiler room, but now I am thinking of buying something bigger, I have to liquidate my apple tree garden, about 7 ha. Greetings from Poland to you and your family. Andrew.

[@teenaramsay2469]

The angle on the deflector at the end of the discharge chute makes a huge difference to the airflow and therefore to the ease of discharge of wet/dry materials from the chipping chamber. Does it really matter if the pile is a little more spread out? Open that flap up....the straighter the flow the better.

Hello from Ontario Canada I have a chipper and learned over the years not to put dry brush through it. the dry brush dulls the blades really fast.

[@bobdunstan5457]

I have one of these chippers. They work well so long as there aren't to many needles or leaves. Otherwise they bind up as you showed. I keep an 18mm box wrench with me to remove the bolt needed to open it up to remove blockages - unfortunately I have to use it a lot. Was interested to see how it worked on pine limbs with relatively few needles. Works much better that it does on the douglas fir limbs we have here - way too many needles that really plug it up.

[@TheUserid82]

One thing to double check each time you use it is if there is any play forwards/backwards on the flywheel as the keepers can slip with the constant impacts of pushing a branch in. Not a major issue other then bearings going bad faster unless the gap between the blades and the anvil closes to much.

[@MartyT]

That makes sense thanks

Marty, do your family a good turn and invest in some of those "ballistic chaps" (fabric jams the saw) when using the chain saw.
