THERE AIN’T NOTHING I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS CHIPPER FROM SPLIT-FIRE!

We're partners with Split-Fire because they make top-notch products. And we're excited that today we get to show you their their 4003 Wood Chipper. We hooked it up to our 25HP Summit TX25 and then to our 38HP John Deere 2038R. It performed great with both, unexpectedly a little better on the higher horsepower machine. We'll walk you through the features and then demonstrate the chipper in action.

[@davidcarleton6928]

Good for you; putting wood chips on your trails. You won't regret it. They need to be redone from time to time, but they really make your trails more durable. Currently reworking mine.

[@jamesyates5191]

I was impressed on the self feeding with the chipper. I have a vertical blade chipper and you need to keep feeding it a lot of the time.

[@kylesmith8769]

That is one impressive machine. It appears to be well engineered for ease of operation and maintenance.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Agreed, thanks for watching Kyle!

[@warped2875]

Courtney, it looked like it was kind of a struggle feeding some of those branches through that chipper. Not that it is a bad product, new designs and innovation is a good thing, but for the price point of the Split-Fire, I think I would be opting for a hydraulic in-feed unit, like a Woodland Mills WC46 or WC68, or even a WOODMAXX MX-8600. Keep up the good content!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I would say the only thing I recall struggling with was the length of some of the brush. I should have trimmed it down. Many folks don't want more complexity. I can see that being a nice feature though too!

[@hotwheelmanraven2289]

Love this thing pretty decent for Homeowner is good enough you could always trim down the branches that's Haram in wouldn't have to work so hard but otherwise impressed the tractor really handled it I was one of the first ones to buy a tractor Connecticut man I'll tell you what I love this tractor can't wait for the bigger one definitely need to get in touch with you for one of those little quick things on the back of them

[@xtrem3climber]

Wish I had seen this a few months ago! Ended up with a Woodmaxx 8800 - definitely solves some of the issues others have mentioned here. Larger capacity, hydraulic fed and made in USA. Not cheap...but something I will hold onto for YEARS. Chipping/splitting is one of the most cathartic things I do on my property - love having this tool! But...seeing the trailer set up...well now I just need another toy!

[@TomKD0QKK]

I have a chipper that is rated 15 to 50 horse. I used it behind my old 8N and it was a struggle, always bogging down. Behind my JD 3043D the engine never even slows a bit, even chipping 6 inch logs. Horsepower makes all the difference with a chipper.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yes, there was a difference between bottom end performance and something with quite a bit more HP. However, even at the low end, it still performed well. Didn't bog it down very often.

[@bruceaplin]

Congratulations on your new property. "We are just chipping away at it." Oh, nice, how appropriate. Hope you can deal with the trespassers. Good Luck and Merry Christmas! 💛

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

That looks like a very nice chipper. It seems to work much better than the one I have.

[@joeh4295]

Have you done a review on that trailer? I've been looking at one like from Northern Tool but I've been hesitant. I'm in PA so shipping from you would be a bit much.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yes sir, here is a link to the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZumoYqbmq6An9k Here's a link to the trailers on our website. www.goodworkstractors.com/?s=ultratec

[@kevingebert4316]

That is one impressive BEAST! Beats that DR Power unit I had 10yrs ago no problem and it was hooked up to a 32hp Yanmar. That velocity shooting out is amazing even with the smaller PTO output. I bet it rarely clogs up too. Think the only con would be that loud whine you hear even when no branches in there vs other units are fairly quiet. Price isn't really that bad either. Wow... Thanks for sharing!

[@kdegraa]

This chipper sounds different to other PTO powered chippers. Most probably the cutting disk causes this higher pitched whine. That is interesting.

[@nottingham82]

I would like to see a follow-up video where you take off the shoot and switch the reversible blades. Just curious on what the internals and the cutting mechanisms look like and how it compares to the bearcat that I have.

[@trcass1]

that thing is a beast. its a little loud though. i wouldn't mind having one for my little 1026R JD, although while its within range,, it might be a little underpowered. interesting they said to store it in a secure area....great video. thanks for sharing.

[@rickherald5364]

Go real life view of how that chipper works on small power machine. The fact that the rotor is on bottom helps that chipper, one draw back is when blades gets dull, makes chipping a lot harder. But looks like a good chipper

[@NormCobbJrTourLife]

Nice video! Great drone work too! 🙂

[@steveprice4779]

When we bought our current home on 30 acres years ago I looked around the property and thought boy am I gonna need a chipper....so I went out and bought a very expensive gas powered chipper. After using it a few times I realized how much work it takes to operate. While complaining to a buddy at work he looked at me funny.....what I asked! Can't you burn on your property he asked...Beats me I said....So I found out burning was legal in the spring and fall...so we found a good place on the property where we could safely burn and burn as needed.....🔥🔥🔥

[@lcee6592]

Nice chipper! You had some pretty big stuff going in there. I could use that to clean up my 15 brush piles!

[@kelleyheard5790]

Very impressed well built

[@kennyjohnson6875]

Nice set up

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks for watching!

[@rickjette9482]

Did you need to cut the drive shaft to mount it the first time?

[@bill29456]

Good video. I noticed early on the chipper over shot the trailer. Doesn’t it have an adjustable discharge shoot? The second half it seemed to hit the canter of the cart. Was that thru angling’s the chipper and cart of adjusting a nozzle?

[@markschmaus5580]

Looks fun to use !

[@GoodWorksTractors]

It was!

[@kurtheim7425]

Hydraulic infeed is the way to go. Looked like alot of work to feed broad branches. My b2601 powers my woodmax wm8h without bogging down.

[@stephenphilbrook6239]

Wow! That is impressive. So, is it your impression that on a larger tractor, you could chip over the 4 Inch limit and not be breaking a bunch of shear pins?

[@mr.gtmsworld2494]

How does the pto run without operator on the tractor seat? My tractor pto will not work without me in the seat.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Many, but not all, models have a procedure to operate the rear PTO without an operator. Might find the sequence in your manual or you could have a model without that feature.

[@mikeszwec9551]

I’m impressed. Can you raise the chipper and still use it safely? I’m thinking in terms of loading in a bigger trailer.

[@lazylizard6532]

Load height looked 18-24 inches lower on the horizontal blade vs the vertical blade. Could you add measurements when you do the higher horsepower demonstration?

[@WS-gc6df]

Loved this video. Now my wife wants one of those. We'd like to see if you feel the gas version gives you the same results. We'd rather not have to deal with the PTO.

[@mikeferguson1393]

What's your thoughts putting this on a JD1023e?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

The Summit TX25 was 25HP, so you'd be a little lower yet. They do show it on a BX2370 which is pretty similar to the 1023e. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3zNeHd8nNd2n5Y

[@oxford821]

Now I want a chipper! I’m not sure why people take the time to chip instead of just burning a big pile tho? Won’t the chips eventually just turn into mud on the trail ?

[@keiths4874]

Pretty slick setup👍

[@preyingmathis2517]

Never heard of summit tractors.

[@waynederby4684]

Courtney. I usually don't have much negative to say about your video's. You work very hard and ALWAYS produce a quality and informative product for your viewers. However I can't believe the incredibly small diameter your limited to with this chipper that you have chosen here. The brands that you mentioned in addition to a number of others that shall remain unnamed will chip up to 6 to 8" depending on model. Those that I have used are also competitive in price to the Split Fire and will work on larger material and are quality engineered in addition. Just Saying. Other than that my you and your family have a Merry Christmas ans Happy New Year !!!!

[@michellatour150]

Please show what size chips it cuts and, can the size be changed by changing the feed rate.

[@randysavage8963]

As usual good content and entertaining

[@andybonneau9209]

This unit is probably on the less expensive side of chippers, but a powered feed roller is a must for me.

[@kurtheim7425]

Bought a wm8h woodmax. Check it out. Highly recommend.

[@rotaryenginepete]

surprised you don't have a SawHaul on that TX25

[@spiroschitiris2751]

I have a iseki tx 1300x im thinking to install one of these.... Witch PTO gear and how many rpm ?!

[@dalanbronnenberg]

It could use an autofeed, but it takes those limby pieces pretty good. Nice chips! But being that close to the limbs all day will beat you to death. And It really wants a 40-50hp tractor.

[@mannybonello4667]

The shoot needs to be longer/taller for better control of direction for the chips to land!

[@badgerlandturf]

You need to stop showing videos of things I want…😂 Christmas is almost here and it won’t make the list! Great video.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha! Well, there's always Valentine's Day! 😉

[@rockandrattleretreat5830]

I like would like to see that with a shredder, like my Wallenstein BXM32. While clearing for my house I had a lot of leaves to shred up. Can't do that with a chipper. How does that chipper do with small sticks? I got a lot of small sticks that just went through the chipper part intact, but when they go through the shredder, not much left of them...

[@Wolfiecolada]

does the chute guide not tip down some?

[@LocnavLivoc]

does it work with bones as well? just asking for a friend :D

[@russbowman6801]

They call them widow makers. Woodmax makes a hydraulic feed controlled one with larger capacity, but of course, it costs more. Some are made in the USA, some are not.

[@johnr5545]

Nice god bless

[@HarDrv]

Hey Everyone, I've ever owned a tractor. I'm wondering is it cheaper to run equipment off of a tractor or to buy equipment with their own engines. I've heard that tractor maintenance is so expensive that you want to reduce the hours. However, I can't help but think only performing maintenance on one engine, instead multiple engined, would be much cheaper. Has anyone done a study on this?

[@markcole6475]

Imo if you have a one time job once in awhile it’s cheaper to just rent ! If you have property to maintain often, I’d look into buying a tractor with whatever attachments you need! Many times in my experience (before I purchased a tractor ) it took longer to rent the equipment , get it home, get familiar with how it worked , than the whole job took to do!

[@stevesmith7467]

Would this work with my 2501

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yes it sure will

[@richsparkman9980]

It looks like it does a fine job but it needs a better way to suck the branches down in instead of having to sit there and keep pushing on them

[@joelafrite7850]

Exactly.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I didn’t really find this much of an issue. It sucked many of them down without having to feed them. Didn’t seem like a big deal to me anyways though.

[@harleyb.birdwhisperer]

Unraveling the multiple stacked negatives left me wondering if you liked it or not, and I made a living for 30+ years unraveling Boolean logic. Clearer would be “I like everything about…”, which is what I think you meant, but maybe you did it this way to suck people like me into posts like this one. 😊 Your aim of the output improved in the second half - good adjust.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Correct, title was intentional. I’m not a smart guy, but did graduate third grade! 😂

[@russelldudley1590]

what's the price?

[@mikehuffman8208]

starts at $3847 per the website ... wasn't aware of these when I bought my WoodMaxx WM8H back in 2018

[@jamesberg3106]

Unintentional pun? Sum It Up

[@zanepaxton7452]

$3,700 is pricey

[@Navigator777777]

Rotate that ball over to the 8 o'clock!

[@CuriousKL]

It's amazing that we have to watch a commercial to watch a commercial.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

well you certainly don’t HAVE to ;)

[@peanutsmith1462]

I would not take this unit if it was given to me it’s a death trap waiting to happen

[@matthewtaylor2185]

I am not impressed at all. I think my little old 18hp DR chipper would eat this one for dinner, and I complain about it not pulling wirey limbs in well. But there's another danger...this hopper is tall and upright so you better be double careful to stay away from power lines around houses. That chute is also kind of low looking to load into my 1-ton dump truck effectively...that's a must for me.

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

for the price I"d rather just have a hydraulic feed assisted chipper. You can get good ones for the price this sells at.

[@salvadormartinez6118]

I had to stop watching because of the way you kept putting your hands in the chipper to help, it or pull the branches back out. 🫣

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I didn’t put my hands in the chipper. They were 3’ from the chipping plate.

[@freecycling6687]

Looks really solid and well built. In all honesty, I've been very happy with my Woodland Mills 6" chipper. It's not perfect, but its hydraulic feed is its "make or break" feature. Plus, it's got direct-drive via the PTO shaft, no gearbox needed. (Of course, that reduction in complexity is probably offset by the hydraulic feed system!) Edit: Just watched the Split-Fire video on this machine. They run their rotor at 2100 rpm, which is much faster than a direct-drive running at 540. That's an interesting idea, I'd bet it really does help prevent jams as they say. (Okay, final thought - the chips it makes look real good, very uniform in size and shape. Have to admit the WM isn't quite that nice in the quality of the chips, tend to get a long of "long slices" out of it.)

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I'm steering away from Made in China whenever possible. The Wallenstein equivalent (Made in Canada) chipper setup like that Woodland Mills is 4x the cost.

[@freecycling6687]

@@GoodWorksTractors Yep, totally agree with that goal. Sometimes, as an individual, it's just not feasible. (And based on my own experience with WM, they're not just an importer that's passing through the "stuff" they're importing - their product support has been exceptional, and their documentation is accurate and comprehensive.)

[@flash1259]

Doesn't look bad. Looks like the chute could be taller and swivel so the trailer might be left connected while you're using it. I'll stick with my Vermeer 935. I bought almost 40 acres connected to the land I already had. I wanted to clean some of the atv trails and make a few more. I ended up buying the 6" DK Power that Home Depot sales. I do wish it had electric start though. When you start getting long slices it sounds like you need to have your knives sharpened and the knife gap adjusted. I took my Vermeer to a dealer after I bought it for them to do that.

[@_DeFiNiTeLy_Not_BrAd_]

I appreciate that they actually list the price, having to email or call for pricing is a pain in the backside.

[@keadog1838]

Make a cardboard template then cut a piece of MDF, etc to fit and clamp to inside back of trailer when chipping so it will act as a backstop for overshoot.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

That would work! I figured out a better setup later in the video with the trailer right next to the chute. Then, aiming the chute down. Those chips come flying out!

[@warped2875]

...or, maybe adjust the deflector angle down farther. =O)

[@qcan8468]

The ChipStop’s here!!!

[@jimmerrithew453]

If you mounted a bracket on each side of the sidewalls, these could support a 24 inch high piece of sheeting. Start with the brackets close to the chipper, then slide the brackets and sheet away from the chipper as the trailer fills up. The sheeting would deflect the chips into the trailer.

[@johnmedlin5894]

I think it is a nice mid-level chipper, but according to their website, you have to pay extra for the steel discharge chute. In my opinion, that should be included with the price. I can certainly understand paying a little extra for the rear hitch and tool holder, but not the discharge chute.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

That's a fair point

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Split-Fire is a great company. We have their log splitter and worked with Kyle to try out the chipper. Amazing machines all around.

[@jerrycrofoot7770]

Great presentation; I chip all the time and I can see the benefits of a vertical shaft. Any comment on maintenance, how hard is it to change the blades and grease fittings locations?

[@motor2of7]

Needs a hinged connection on the discharge chute. Removing it every time you move the trailer would drive me nuts

[@cybrcow]

So I’m looking for a chipper that would get a fair amount of use. This is in my price point. I do have a 1023e and it seems like the tractor might be light on power. Would I need to get the one with its own engine?

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

I’m beaucoup impressed 😉, it’s a nice looking splitter and made in 🇨🇦 👍🏻. Great review Courtney 🙋🏼‍♂️🙂👍🏻

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks as always!

[@540isilver]

looks like for the price this will be hard to beat.i really like that you can have a trailler on the end of it to. on the farm we use a woodmaxx 9900 and its a beast!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks for watching! It is priced well. Love the trailer option too. Dang, that Woodmaxx is a big boy, haha!

[@AdamLProductions]

That things is really impressive. I had a stand-alone Troy-Bilt chipper/shredder/vac and there's no way it could chip that fast or with material that size.

[@lainus167]

A place to attach the chute while driving/not using it would be handy. Like above the angle gearbox. Nice product

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks for watching!

[@bladewiper]

I love the trailer hitch. I am surprised it is less than a conventional chipper.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, trailer hitch is a smart idea for sure!

[@michaelroth3471]

Just got mine two weeks ago and absolutely agree with you! It's a chipping beast! Very well built chipper from Split-Fire!

[@kylerayk]

Fun video Courtney! I really like the vertical design and the speed increase due to the gearbox and belt drive combination. I have a few suggestions for Split-Fire... Create an on-board docking point so you can remove the chute and park it elsewhere on the machine for transport. Make the chute a little taller. Increase the ability to tilt the deflector downward more. There's nothing much more satisfying than feeding a wood chipper like that! In my case though, it only creates another material to dispose of. Burning the brush leaves a small pile of ash and I'm done with the cleanup. Would be great for people who have a use for the mulch! Thanks for sharing!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, yeah it is really satisfying. I've got a few large areas that could use chips. Probably be awhile before I run out of areas to put them. Have a good one Kyle!

[@plumber802]

Yes, I would not hesitate to buy anything manufactured by Splitfire.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Agreed, I'm very impressed with their quality and performance

[@Gnomoleon]

Love my WC68 hydraulic infeed chipper ...

[@bladewiper]

regardless of brand, a mount for a little electric chainsaw would be very useful.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

That would be cool. They do have an optional tool holder, but I don't think there's a way to attach a chainsaw.

[@paule4696]

I have the Woodland Mills WC68. This looks like a decent tool but the WC68 is much easier to use. A lot of the stuff you had to stay there and feed would have just been drawn in by the WC68. The infeed is adjustable so it doesn't bog down the tractor motor. The discharge chute on the WC68 is higher and adjustable so I could have been directed much more easily into your trailer and it doesn't need to be removed to move the unit. BTW I really like your trailer.

[@markcole6475]

Definitely looks like the more hp fit the needs of eating the larger diameter pieces! One reason why I up graded to a L3902. I’ve been debating on buying a PTO powered chipper but I don’t do a lot of that often….at times I’ll cut a tree down or pull some bushes on one of my properties and would be so much easier getting rid of the waste vs burning it all.

[@RCPSU4]

Personally, I think the ones with a shredder opening are a good option for the smaller stuff.

[@willieorpurt6317]

What is in the video starting at 12 min 48 sec to 12 min 53 sec? Just to the right of Corey

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Just our drone flying around, haha!

[@milesostrander25]

Looks like an interesting design moving the cutting wheel like they did. I like the emergency shut off that you can wire in to your tractor. I do have to say when compared to a unit like my Woodland Mills chipper with hydraulic feed, there is absolutely no comparison. I don't have to lift pieces of wood over my head to get them in the hopper, pieces of wood can't get sucked in too fast and bog down the tractor, the moment a piece of wood is caught by the infeed roller my hands are off and away from any danger, it has controllable variable feed speed and I can control the direction of the feed from the end of the poppers shoot in case of loading something too big or awkward. The discharge shoot can rotate 360° and is mounted higher to be able to get into higher trailers or trucks.

[@rickmoulton4005]

It's a decent looking chipper, but I've been using a Woodmaxx WM-8H hydraulic feed with 8" capacity on my Deere 4066r and it's been great.

[@kipcudd7253]

Looks like a tarp on the front of the trailer that would you could stand up to keep chips from blowing past the trailer plus a taller chute and able to angle down more would help to. Maybe higher side boards also. Yeah that thing really shoots the chips out. Little Summit did great!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Lol yeah those chips go flying! I adjusted the angle and position towards the end of the video and it worked better at holding them in the trailer. Thanks Kip!

[@goddukee]

Great looking attachment. The other ones I've seen wouldn't do much more than broom handles. I had one years ago that required so much limb trimming it wasn't worth the effort

[@tannerfarmstead]

Love your content man. Been watching for quite some time. I look forward to get a chipper and tractor one day. Your channel has educated me a lot on things

[@willieorpurt6317]

The trailer needs a pop up canopy to keep all chips in trailer. I have a idea, but hard to explain.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

It worked quite a bit better towards the end when I snugged the trailer right up to the chipper and pointed the chute downwards.

[@scubatraveler100]

Thanks for such an informative video. I have never heard of Split Fire so this was an eye opener what a chipper can be.

[@RoseCityReptilesTX]

That setup is sexy af 😍 👌 🔥

[@TheMonkdad]

I agree that the theft statement is more about bragging. Without taking the tractor as well it seems difficult to steal the chipper alone.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Humble brag. It's in the operator's manual, not like it's on their website in the features, haha!

Not impressed. A chipper needs to feed itself mechanically or hydraulically to relief the operator from stuffing the material. This saves time, the back, the wrist. I run.a Woodland Mills 68 on a 1025R and can work it the whole day by myself because theautomatic feed is worth 2-3 helpers.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I can't say I found this an issue. You need to have control over the infeed speed with any chipper. Trunk diameter changes with brush. Don't want to bog down the machine.

[@joelafrite7850]

@@GoodWorksTractors yes, and gravity is the worst: big chunky logs (fire wood size) weighs more than twiggy tree tops. What should be fed slowly feeds itself fast and the stuff that should get sucked right in gets stuck in the hopper. This design is wrong.

@@joelafrite7850 If you watch the video, then that is not what happens at all. I'd actually say the opposite.

[@joelafrite7850]

@@GoodWorksTractors I watched the video and I see you struggle with thin stuff a chipper with automatic feed eats up in bundles. In this video, and an earlier one. Did you ever work with a chipper with a feeder?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

@@joelafrite7850 Haven't, but you're trying to make this an issue for me. It isn't, I didn't struggle, I didn't think anything of it. Pushing branches into the hopper isn't what wears me out. It's the hauling of the material back and forth.

[@alanviner3711]

it looks likje it really can't do 4 inch comfortably but it eats up to 3in... the biggest negfative to me seems to be no real auto feed and the machine needs a longer and adjustable discharge tube to direct it into the average wagon, trailer or what have you. Other than that seems not bad I'll have to see the price point..

[@dubrd5926]

I sure would not want that chipper. I am never going back to a manual feed after getting one with a hydraulic feed.

[@michaelschettl9509]

A normal person would tilt the deflector on the end of the shuttle down & perhaps even angle the dump bed on the trailer up a bit so most of the chips end up in the trailer.

[@vaportrail6315]

Too much work to get it to chip. It should feed itself once the branch is put in machine.....

Split fire brand sell extras as option that is standard on any other brand wood chipper.

[@herbandjanagass6221]

What is the trailer you are using? That is exactly what I am looking for.

[@clembuck5885]

One of the two is not powerful enough tractor or chipper.? Not sure it a no go for me...
