That’s a great way to repurpose some shrubbery! Made it look nice between the piles!

Yeah it worked well. Or sure I want to chip that whole brush pile but it sure made the mud stop splashing up on the wood! Thanks Mike👊🏻

Hey Todd and Evan , that’s a very nice home owner machine . Those chips looked good between the wood rows . Going to keep the mud down !! 👍🏻🪵🔥

Good video, nice chipper and good idea to help solve the mud issue!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks. It’s what we got to solve the problem. Small but effective. Thanks for watching Todd👊🏻

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

That’s a nifty rig right there . Here’s an idea for you to try with it . I’m sure you have a lot of bark that falls off the wood . An I’m wondering if you could feed the bark threw the top might have to regrind it once but I’m thinking the end product would be mulch like people buy in bags might have to let it age for a few months but you would have a endless supply to mulch ya flower beds or to bag an sell at the rd side stand . I wanted to rent a machine like yours last yr to try it but never got around to trying it . Might even make a good video trash to cash if it works .

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Try hats a great idea Phil. I have a future video planned on making chips for my smoker too. Another reason to say yes to the colab. Appreciate ya watching 👊🏻

Hope it works better for you than it did for me LOL. Chips do work, just have a plan to rotate the old out and add new.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Hello Brad. Yeah I plan on just a thin layer just to keep the rain from splattering mud on the firewood. It’s on such a small scale that I plan on raking the chips off before they go to dirt and just putting more down. Appreciate ya watching and commenting 👊🏻🥃🇺🇸

[@outdoorsinthe608]

Nice chipper, it definitely gets the job done! Sure is going to be nice not having the dirt splash up on the firewood, I have the same problem with my sheds.👍👊🍻

[@toddsoutsideagain]

You might talk to your tree service about chips. I have absolutely no luck with tree services in our area so I’ll just make my own😂 Thanks for watching Jeremiah 👊🏻🍻

[@BobbySixguns]

It made some nice looking chips. When you said "that's the point" and paused, I was thinking the point was for dad to watch son shovel wood chips😂. Nice work fellas, the woodyard looks nice.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

It sure does! Chips worked out real well. Letting Evan shovel them……That’s a good point too🤣 Thanks for watching Bobby👊🏻🥃

[@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood]

The chipper works well. For what you’re doing, the chips will work on keeping the mud down. Foothills firewood brought up the same point. When laying chips down, I don’t think you will have problems driving you wheeler and trailer on chips. They don’t weigh so much. In time the chips rot and retain water and the ground don’t dry out. When using a skid loader or compact tractor or heavier equipment when we have wet conditions the equipment breaks through into the mud on the bottom. With multiple travel through an area you got a slop hole. Brad seen that at his firewood get together this winter. If you get a compact tractor,don’t lay mulch haul in crushed rock asphalt tailing. I’ve done it in an area and certainly wish I hadn’t. Enough said. Take care you two. Al

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah Allen. I realize that the chips will break down. My plan is to just keep down on the splattering of mud from rain on the firewood. Since we are such a small scale operation I plan on just racking the chips into the creek every spring and just chipping new ones. Tha ground underneath is pretty solid. Appreciate ya watching 👊🏻

[@PeterGregg]

What machine made that firewood???

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Hello Peter! We split all of our firewood with a Performance Pro splitter from Lowes. It has been a very good splitter for a box store unit. Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@smorefirewood]

Pretty nifty. “Free” mulch.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Free is good! We have plenty to mulch this spring too! Thanks for watching Dana👊🏻

[@user-in5hi9wd6f]

Nice video guys. Anxious to see how this works out. Stay safe, have a great day and may God bless…

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks for the kind words! I’m betting the chips will eventually break down. We will just have to rake out the old and make more. Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@BigelowWoodcraft]

Heck yes. That will help the mud. I have a different brand and when you need one they are handy as heck. Nice video guys.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

I think it is very handy. One of those tools you don’t use often but when ya do very convenient. Thanks for watching Jerry👊🏻

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

It's definitely handy for the homeowner. When i put together gasket kits, everything has part numbers and descriptions on them, too, been told over the years that was super handy

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Homeowner use it’s perfect for! The labeled parts and labeled fasteners should be a must! Appreciate ya watching Daniel👊🏻

[@richysoutdoors2591]

Nice , Looks good . Going to keep an eye on how this works down the road as time goes . Could work for me along the rows also. Good deal fellas. Carry on , safe week to ya 🍺☑️

[@toddsoutsideagain]

I will be adding more chips as time goes. Seems to be working real well so far. Appreciate ya watching Richy👊🏻🍻

[@billobermeyer660]

That Bilt Hard is going to serve you well. First pull start is a good indicator and it should really help with the mud situation!!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

I believe it will. That first pull start means a lot. If a fella need a motor for a splitter or tiller I would recommend one! Thanks for watching Obie👊🏻

[@OpenAirAdventure]

Thanks for showing Todd and Evan. You guys did a great job explaining how it works with each chipper option and what it produces. It certainly cleaned up between the rows and later on you can clean out the old stuff and make fresh chips whenever you need them. Kenny

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks. Thats the idea. Eventually the chips will break down and we will just rake them over the creek bank and make new ones. I appreciate ya watching and Commenting Kenny👊🏻

Nice free mulch to keep that mud from splashing up on the stacks. Looks like a great “clean up the yard” machine for a home owner. Sure does make that wood yard look nice. I’m picturing some Lillys planted at the end of those rows now!😆 Great Video T&E! NOW GO GET!!👍🏻🍺

Or you can put it in the trailer and chip right in the trailer. Nice little machine. Lookin good!

Well that thought crossed my mind🤣 The discharge creates so much pressure I’m afraid it would blow it all out🤣 Thanks for watching George👊🏻

[@lynnhudson838]

I may be mistaken, but as an old HCAC guy, I believe you coulg figure out a way to connect a flex tube of sorts and ditch ste step of emptying the bag. Even if the connector/tube doesn't fit perfectly it should create a ventury effect that will suck air in instead blowing out. Trial and error will get you there, I think. Btw, I'm lovin' it!! 😊

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well Lynn I told Evan we need to do just that! Didn’t really want to go modifying the machine in the first video, but the thought crossed my mind😂 Thanks for watching and commenting 👊🏻

Well Done Todd.... The manufacturer is already ahead of the game... money well spent on their end! Fantastic exposure

Yes I know people don’t like infomercials but this one was at the right time! You can’t blame companies for getting free marketing right in front of their target audience🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching Greg👊🏻

[@FoothillsFirewood]

Hey Todd, I didn’t read through the comments to see if this is beating a dead horse but be VERY careful putting down wood chips to create less mud. It will do the opposite. It works great for the first couple weeks but the mulches job is to hold moisture. Everywhere you lay that will be extra mud in due time. I learned the hard way when I asked my tree guy to bring me a load of chips. He warned me against it but I didn’t listen a year later I have 4 inches of mud instead one 2 lol. Probably gonna look into asphalt millings this summer. That’s awesome about the chipper. Great video!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well I do realize that the chips will break down in time. I plan on raking them into the creek in the fall and just chipping more🤷‍♂️ The ground under neath is solid just splashes up in heavy rain! Thanks I’m on it😂 Appreciate ya watching 👊🏻

@@toddsoutsideagain maybe sweeten the deal with a case of beer.

[@crazidirtbiker]

I bought this exact model last year. Mine is starting to shut off randomly as I’m running it and turn back on like it’s a electrical issue or something I’m not sure. It’s still like new and I only used it a few times. Works great other than that. I mainly got it to shred all my tall ornamental grasses when I cut them down every year. I compost so it works out well, I can feed it through the top and basically shoot out hay. It makes quick work of them. When it would turn off I thought maybe it was over heating so I checked my oil and topped it off slightly. Why does it have 2 oil caps? One with a dipstick and one without. Is one for filling and the other for draining?

[@toddsoutsideagain]

I can see how it would work great for ornamental grass. As far as the randomly shutting off, it sounds like an oil sensor, but you said you topped off the oil. You might want to check the wires going to the kill switch. The two oil holes are because most of these engines are made for various uses. Other words and some applications that dipstick might need to be on the right side of the motor and other need to be on the left side to stay out of the way of attachments for a given machine. Thanks for watching and good luck with the issue. I’m sure it’s something simple.

[@crazidirtbiker]

@@toddsoutsideagain thank you so much for the reply. It’s kind of a relief you mentioned the oil sensor. I wasn’t sure if it had one. I was using it on a slight hill and maybe it wasn’t level enough and when I topped it off I was already basically done shredding. I have more to do Sunday I’ll see if it still cuts out. If so I’ll know its electrical

After using that small machines and realizing you would have been better off having a tree service dump a load of chips for nothing at you place. These machines are ok for home owners that have small amounts if brush to get rid of.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Correct. I said in the video that this machine is best suited for small homeowner jobs. Problem is in the last three years I have talked to numerous tree services about wood and chips with no luck! 🤷‍♂️ I took matters into my own hands. I do plan on making smoker chips with it too. I have just recently connected with a new tree service guy that I think is going to work out. He doesn’t chip though. Thanks for watching 👊🏻
