Nice pictures !!!!!!!!! I noticed the guy operating the chippers has no helmet, goggles and probably no ear plugs . In NY if that was seen by state officials imediate shutdown. Also not a safe idea by the operator. Wayne

Where I used to work they had that same chipper. Ate anything and everything incuding you if you didn't keep an eye it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I think it had a perkins 4cyl diesel with over 100 hp. my favorite part was the winch but man was it loud. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif In one of the pics you have the feed rolls after that is about a 3' rotating drum with four chipping blades. oh yeah and the price a cool $40,000. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Henro I would have saved the chips for composting as well. Sooner or later they'll make good fertilizer for your garden once they have completely broken down. good bunch of action shots also. Can't get tired of watching machinery at work.

Heh... I cut it into nice 18" blocks and stack it neat, and feel lucky if I can pawn it off on someone. I guess they're waiting for me to split it and haul it for them. I burn it as a last resort. I absolutely hate to waste oak trees.

( Not my project...but pretty neat anyway.

Sewers are going in...like it or not! We like it I guess...and they did their best to accomdate us by keeping the line below our pond... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

This chipper is rated for taking an 18" tree...impressive... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif )

Yargh. Be careful lads. Thar be dragons in the woods.

The only time I can still for more than 30 minutes is watching machinery. It's mesmerizing. I must have a machinery gene or something. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
