yep that shredder is worth having nice pile started for next year . I need to sharpen my blades on mine to get ready for fall leaves for compost pile myself. hope you have a great week . keep up the good videos.

[@Something2LookAt]

+Henry Bennett Thanks. This was the first time I used the chipper blade since the last sharpen, so it was like a hot knife through butter!

[@gabrielverduzco2317]

What bran is that , where you get it

[@nated186]

Just wondering if this chips the frond or shreds it? Almost nothing works on palm fronds.

[@Something2LookAt]

Yea this one definitely works on palm fronds. Works best in th chipper chute, but as long as the stalk isn't thick, it can go in the shredding chute as well. Just don't install the gate on the exit while assembling, if it has one.

[@brighterfuture7333]

Very nice for feed animals like goats, cow, sheep, Ram, etc

[@joopvervaart]

Can you tell me the brand and model of this shredder? I live in Chile and tried a lot of times to shred these leaves, but no machine can handle them

[@Something2LookAt]

It is made by Brush Master now. I can't quite figure out the model number. But here's a link - www.homedepot.com/p/Brush-Master-2-25-in-6-5-HP-212cc-Gas-Powered-Unique-Innovation-3-in-1-Discharge-Chute-Chipper-Shredder-with-Safety-Goggles-CH6M21/316465365

I am in the market for a good chipper mulcher but I need one that takes the whole palm frond not after the base has been cut off . As far as I can see the Michigan Ravenger 18 hp is a contender to mulch full palm fronds . This one here is quite useful in the average garden .

[@danielsegura6848]

Did you buy the Race her? How did go with palm fronds including base?

[@kcism3239]

I just found the perfect soil to grow my desert rose in.

[@arrhazes8198]

More like a mulch.

[@kcism3239]

@@arrhazes8198 initially but over time compost

[@bigsmiler5101]

@@kcism3239 It takes 50 years for palm fronds to decompose. The best thing known is to have pigs or goats eat the mulch and then use their Output.

[@kcism3239]

@bigsmiler5101 wow thanks, you sound like a farmer 🫡

[@32mb-memory]

sick shred. want to bang on some drums while the shredder runs

[@KetoKeith]

Are you able to use the mulch on pathways?

[@bigsmiler5101]

The video doesn't show the BRAND NAME of this machine! I live near Phoenix, and all the news here is that it's nearly impossible to shred or chop palm fronds. We send 34,000 TONS of palm fronds to a special dump site every Year. What is someone not telling everyone else? -- I made a horrific ERROR because I have 11 acres I've been trying to turn into a "Permaculture" Oasis, and I wanted stuff to compost. I'm in the desert, 20 miles south of Phoenix and I'd advertised that I'll take any landscaping trash. I quickly ended up with tons of palm fronds. MY SALVATION is that my soil is so horrible here that shredded ANYTHING will help the rock-hard caliche. If undisturbed, the ultra-fine dust above the caliche (think "limestone") will return to rock-hard in a few years. All I have to do is plow this DEEP into the ground, and it will at least keep the dirt loosened. But I prefer burying shredded material, not whole fronds.

[@centpushups]

You can send all that mulch right over to my place.

[@drewbrook966]

Sorry for asking but what brand of chipper is this

[@Something2LookAt]

At the time it was made by Stanley, but today it is made by Brush Master. Model CH8. Great chipper!

[@coconutpalm1631]

I don't know where this was filmed but especially in California I would advise against shredding Canary Island Date Palm fronds that are not completely brown/dry. This is because the smell they give off attracts those Palm Wevils that burrow into the palms and kill them. They'll be attracted close enough to the freshly trimmed palm, of which they burrow in via the bases of the freshly cut fronds. Even cutting green fonds without shredding is enough to attract them.

[@heavenslinq8723]

What is the name of that shredder? Normally the fibers will kill the machine

[@Something2LookAt]

Well, this one is a Stanley and they no longer make it. The exact same machine is being made by Brush Master now and it's called the Brushmaster CH8. And true, fiberous stuff like palm fronds do not bind up this machine.

[@heavenslinq8723]

Thank you for your info. Do you know who makes the Brushmaster CH8? I live in Chile and it seems that special stores in USA sell them. So I would like to know the manufacturers name if you have it off course. Here we have a lot of those palm trees and no chippers will shred them due to the fibers. So that's why I'm so interested.

[@Something2LookAt]

They're made by Brush Master. They have a website. You can get them from Chippers Direct. www.chippersdirect.com/shredders/brush-master-wood-chippers.html

[@heavenslinq8723]

Thank you for the information, I will try to get in contact with them.

[@jolus6678]

I would think putting green fronds through a chipper would eventually begin sticking and burn the machine out.

[@Something2LookAt]

In most chippers yes. But I can assure you that this one handles it beautifully. Ran 1000's of them through there.

[@jolus6678]

You really should only remove brown leaves from palms. Palms absorb nutrients from older yellowing fronds to put into their new growth.

[@Something2LookAt]

It's what the customer wants.

[@Zackscottlego2]

Wow next shred some fruits

[@Ryin88]

thats an awesome reuse of palm fronds, but how much does that cost and whats the maintenance like?

[@Something2LookAt]

Well it's about $700 and I broke it so maintenance is now $0. lol.

[@movietime111]

@@Something2LookAt would you recommend for chipping palms?

[@Something2LookAt]

@@movietime111 Yes! Often times palm branches will clog up and stop a chipper shredder, but not this one.

That little mini-intake pipe is so small and specialized, what you use it for, other than date palm fronds?

I think you should have sold that as a miracle cure. A miracle for what we have no idea. But somebody will take it as fiber lol

Those shredded fronds would be good in the compost bin.

[@lilyroza]

@@Something2LookAt i'm trying to find out if shredded cana ry island date palm fronds would be good to add to soil for growing bearded irises. I have a lot of shredded palm fronds. But some things are hard on plants like eucalyptus. I would like to dig something in below the raised beds to improve drainage and raise the surface of the soil, since irises are susceptable to rot in my clay soil. Does anyone knowif canary island date fronds would inhibit growth of bearded irises or vegetables?

WHAT ARE YOU MAKING* GOD SPEED FOOD..?? * YES, * joke or TRUTH.??

[@lilyroza]

I have lots of date palm fronds and a gpod chipper, but i'm wondering if they are a good thing to compost or add to loosen clay soil for irises and roses. Some things like eucalyptus, and Live Oak leaves have a growth inhibitor in them, and i don't know about palm fronds. I have spent hours looking for authoritative info. Can anyone steer me in the right direction to find out if Canary Islamd Date Fronds are good for compost and clay soil?

Hell no those things take years to break down that’s way a lot of trash company’s don’t take them
