Vermeer Chipper at Work

Cutting and chipping 18 trees. I forgot to mention the rest of the guys got caught up on another job.

This is how a chipper should work. A pleasure to watch. I considered renting one of these, bu t it costs $250 a day where I live. This amount can buy me more chips than I can use in my lifetime. Certainly more than I can chip in a day.

You might be able to get wood chips free. Try contacting a tree removal contractor. We always have a list of addresses that are looking for chips and I give them away as long as it's close or on route. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I would have chipped those branches into a pickup then you must know someone who heats with wood, all they need to do is simply fill a paper bag with chips then throw the bag into the firebox and light them or throw the bag after the fire has a bed of coals going. Been doing it that way for years and burns fine. Cheers!

Come take all my chips!!

[@FoodForestPermaculture]

Well done picking up the garbage .

[@JourneymanRandy]

Its smarter than destroying bearings. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@FoodForestPermaculture]

@@JourneymanRandy yes for sure

[@andrewford80]

Would love my own chipper

[@JourneymanRandy]

It certainly is handy and saves me a lot of time. Thanks for watching.

[@577buttfan]

You can pick these up used in good cond for between 4-5 grand all day.

[@josemedina-dw9re]

i was wondering where the rest of the guys were??

[@JourneymanRandy]

They were supposed to be there that day but couldn't make it. Thanks for watching

[@avontaprice9661]

AWESOME VIDEO AND NICE WORK / NICE JOB :-) ;-)

[@avontaprice9661]

What model is that brush chipper? BC____?

[@avontaprice9661]

That Vermeer brush chipper looks like a Rayco brush chipper.

[@JourneymanRandy]

One is pretty much a copy of the other.

[@JourneymanRandy]

Thanks, Happy new year.

[@JourneymanRandy]

I have a BC600XL. Vermeer don't make it any more. They make a BC700 I believe.

I was interested to see chipper run without being hitched to truck. Where I need to see one up I won't be able to leave hitch but it didn't seem to want to move in your video. I'll just chock the wheels.

[@JourneymanRandy]

We often unhitch this chipper from the truck. It works great unless you're on a hill. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@davidboreham]

Manufacturer's manual says chipper should be operated attached to the TV, but if that's not feasible the tongue should be blocked and wheels securely chocked.

[@compcrawler1]

Swap the valve covers

[@JourneymanRandy]

I should do that. I may have looked at that option and there could be a reason why I can't do that. These chippers sell for close to $20000.00. You think the dealer could set that up. Buyer beware. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@franklopez5263]

what is the horsepower of the engine?

[@JourneymanRandy]

I think it's 30 hp. Thanks for commenting and stopping in.

JOURNEYMAN RANDY WHY U BULLYING THOSE TREES MAN THEY DID NOTHING TO YOU
