Thank you so much for this video. The tips on taking off the PTO shaft cover and trimming advice was very helpful. The manual doesn’t say how to remove the cover 👍😎

[@MJADoingStuff]

Your welcome thanks for checking out the video. Have fun chipping 😁👍🚜💨🍳 If your red handle goes into neutral a lot check out the comments there is a way to adjust the relief valve.

[@deepocean3603]

MJA doing stuff I will check back if the handle goes into neutral. I’m currently trying to figure out the correct shaft length. I measured 28.5 between chipper and PTO gear grooves . I measured 29-7/16 between the PTO shafts push buttons. This gives me a 15/16 difference + 1 tells me to cut 1-15/16. When I put the shaft back together for install it is too long, even if I allow the PTO shaft slip past the groove for extra length. I’m going to call Woodland Mills today for help. The two sides of the shaft overlap and basically butt up against themselves. I believe I need a gap in the overlap to see a space, so if I hit a bump there is give and the butter up metal won’t jam against the PTO gear.

Great video. I appreciate it, especially the detailed PTO shaft trimming section

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks 😁 after the video I did cut another inch to make it easier to put the PTO shaft on. Have a great Independence Day 😁👍🚜💨🍳

thanks for the video. I used this along with the manual to put my wc68 together today.you definitely saved me some headaches.

So, they delivered my WC68 the other day and I'll be running it on a B2601 as well. Great info on the final assembly, especially the shaft sizing. It's gonna be a fun weekend.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks 😁👍 other people have said cut off a 1 inch more than I did in the video on the PTO shaft and it will go on easier. But you will see if you need to or not😁Happy chipping 😁👍🚜💨🍳

Hi Mitch, great video as always. I'm seriously considering purchasing one of these and have now saved this so that I have a smooth assembly and installation. Thank you!

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks Dave!!!😁👍 I know you will love it we sure do. Have a great week 🚜💨🍳

[@Livn-4-Rapture]

Dude great video and very clear guidance during the install! Just got my WC68 for my L3901 and I'm excited to start the process! I appreciate folks like you taking the time and being brave to make these videos. GREAT JOB AND THANKS AGAIN!🤙

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thank you for the kind words😁👍 I did as good as I could at the time of the video. Looking 👀 back the one thing I would add is if the red handle keeps kicking into neutral then you will need to adjust the relief valve under the hopper. Have a great day!!!🚜💨🍳

@@MJADoingStuff Hey mitch what type of hydraulic fluid did you use for the chipper?

Awesome step by step video. My chipper is being delivered next week and your video gives me the insight to hopefully put it together as well as you have. Thanks

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks for the comment it goes together pretty easy. In the video when I cut the PTO shaft I cut it the way the manual said and I ended up cutting another 1 inch extra off so it made it easier to put on. Another viewer told me he did that and it made it better so I did it too. Congratulations and happy chipping ☀️😁👍

[@mikedurkin8970]

we ordered ours a couple of weeks ago and it is being delivered tommorrow. Thanks for taking the time to show how to assemble. Will save me time and frustration this weekend. Happy chipping!

[@MJADoingStuff]

Yep no problem 👍 your going to love it. When you get a chance check out Sawing with Sandy’s video on adjusting the relief valve for the red control handle if you have a problem with the infeed roller popping in to neutral a lot Happy Chipping! Sounds like a new holiday 😁👍

[@mikedurkin8970]

will do. thanks

[@mikedurkin8970]

Watched Sawing with Sandys video on adjusting the infeed roller. Looked to me like you were having same problem. Did you fix yours the same way?

[@MJADoingStuff]

@@mikedurkin8970 Not yet but the next time I use it I will. I am skipping the bleeding of the system and trying the adjustment part first.

[@mikedurkin8970]

Yesterday I got the chipper assembled and I ran it for the first time. Thanks again for tips. I remembered most of them and they saved me a lot of time and effort. After a test run I made a couple adjustments as the infeed rolller did kick into neutral on about every other limb and didnt want to grab anything over a couple inches. I did as you did and decreased the tension on the springs which solved the grabbing of the larger limbs. I did what was suggested in the manual and by you, and took off the plastic cap on the rear of the control lever, loosed the jam lock nut with a 7/8" wrench and rotated the set screw with a 6mm allen wrech, clockwise one turn. I also did what Sawing with Sandy suggested and tightened the set screw adjusment under the feed speed control valve. Like you, I didnt bleed the system. Not sure which of the two fixes was the trick, but after those two adjustments, It only kicked into neutral a few times out of about 100 limbs. Was so much fun, I didnt mind the rain.... One other thing. I trimmed the shaft as instructed. Still too long, so I will probaby take another inch off before next time I try to hook up PTO. Way too hard to get it on... Thanks again!

@@MJADoingStuff Delivery problem with Woodland Mills Europe with my WC88 order. I ordered the chipper on Monday the 22 march. When i got a copy from the order and the invoice it said that the chipper was out of stock and expected back in stock the 24. of march. I thought, that is only a few days so i payed about 4000 Euro,s. I would get a track and trace number when shipped to me. Nothing happened. Today i send a mail to Woodland to ask if they got the shipment with the new machines. Answer was yes, we got yesterday chippers but they where already sold and my chipper will be send to me when they get a new shipment. When i put the WC88 in the chart it did not say that is was out of stock. It was only told to me when i got the invoice. Now i have to wait at least 3 more weeks to get my chipper home. This is no way to do business, and i'm thinking to ask for refund.

[@bjre.wa.8681]

If I heard you correctly @ 13:55 you were going to cut 7-1/4 off both female (tube) AND male (shaft). I think that is wrong as then you've removed 14-1/2". I think to be correct you should cut 3-5/8" off of both pieces to get the needed 7-1/4" as I just went thru this on a New To Me chipper shredder that came without a PTO shaft and I had to shorten a "brand new" PTO shaft.

[@MJADoingStuff]

@@bjre.wa.8681 Yes both need to be cut 7-1/4 inches to reduce the overall length by 7-1/4 inches. I know it sounds stupid but that’s how it works because both shaft lengths are telescoped and the same length overlapping or detracted all the way. Hope this makes sense. Double check by watching a video just about PTO shafts. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😁👍🚜💨☀️

I made a category one ball hitch to pull my trailers easily to parts of my property and I am attempting to modify it to make a landscape rake. The spring times can be purchased fairly cheaply. These would be attached to a boom which be taken on and off the cat one ball hitch already fabricated. I Ike the way you use your plasma cutter as a manual cnc cutter by using patterns. Basically, young man, I like the way you think.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks for your input and sharing your ideas on making a landscape rake. Great minds think alike. I am hoping to purchase a CNC plasma table one day but for now the patterns work pretty good. Have a great day.😁👍🚜💨🍳

[@Chrysler300Club]

Those roller springs -- if you don't have a lot of tension then the roller won't bite the small stuff. Yes, more tension means tougher for the roller to swallow big stuff -- it is a balancing act between the two.

[@MJADoingStuff]

You are correct!!! 😁 I must have got lucky haven’t changed the setting sense the video and the small stuff goes through without a problem but if I put anything over 4” inches it will have trouble climbing on top to pull it in. Luckily I burn anything over 4” inch 😂 thanks for sharing and have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨🍳

If I ever get to build one of these for myself out of the box, I believe I will surely llll dab a b dollop of good old roofing tar on the nuts and bolts especially the ones that will surely rattle loose right into the speeding chipper blades. Not blue Lock-tite Ernie lock'tite like every mechanic will tell you to use but tar . If tar belongs anywhere it belongs on a chipper in the woods because if you dont come home blackened with tar you aint been working ,t you yu you just been dilly dallying. Seriously though the hopper should be iether welded togeather or at least glue the bolts togeather. Those nylon lock nuts are not lock nuts . A tight nut and bolt with sheet metal between is not locked. A lock nut is two nuts next to each other with no washers and tightened against each other with two box end wrenches. That method of lock nut will stay locked forever even when the metal pieces have fatigued and the bolt is rattling in its hole.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Good to know thanks I will keep a eye on the bolts and nuts. Thank you for checking out the video 😁👍
