love that splitter! My tractor doesn't have rear remotes, I plan to add them sometime in the future, for that exact purpose.
about the chipper. It's the one from Titan. couple of things about it, first off it's not quick hitch compatible, so today I finish my project of making it so. Second, my tractor is the 24.4 hp with 19.2 PTO, when they say it probably won't do over 3" with less than 30 PTO hp, they're right. I still don't understand why it wouldn't, because isn't 540 rpm the same regardless? Also, it's not a shredder, and it doesn't like small limbs with leaves AT ALL. if you're pushing those through, better have something 1 1/2" to 2" to push through with it. Watch the chute, and if the chips aren't coming out, stop immediately and clean it out! OR, there's another broken sheer bolt, ask me how I know
This is the wallenstein clone. Titan's website gives a link for the manual, that doesn't work. You actually have to go to the bx62 model where the link works, because the manual covers all models. And get this, they use the exact wallenstein manual. I know this because it gives the wrong size for the sheer bolts.
this one also doesn't have an optional leg kit, something else I might dig around in the scrap pile and see if I have something to make some legs for. The Farm Hand version of this DOES have the leg kit, so I'll look at it and go from there
it is fast though as long as your feeding something through it in the 1 1/2 to 2" range, it'll chew em right up and keep on plugging! and the chips are a good size if you want to pile em up and compost em for the garden or flower beds for mulch.....
here's a scoop of chips, a good way to practice 'scooping' with the FEL
