New Permaculture. Clover, Lupine, Annual Veg. Building a system

Nitrogen Fixers in a New Food Forest. Building the Understory
zhlédnutí 60Před 2 měsíci
I'm starting to transform a rocky forest knoll (an oak knob?) into a food forest. Adding plants that serve many purposes: adding nitrogen fixers and pollinators and a living mulch, and in permaculture terms also adding to the root layer and herbaceous layer.

DR Chipper/shredder - FIXING A DUD
zhlédnutí 1,7KPřed 6 měsíci
My DR chipper/shredder has been disappointing since day 1. Often broken, underpowered, poorly assembled, hard starting, bad customer service. Needless to say I am underwhelmed. After a few years of use, I've decided to upgrade the machine with a larger motor, better bearings, electric start and more Affiliate links to the parts used: Clutch: www.amazon.com/dp/B00372RU56/?coliid=IQ3SFYEYMT2ZW&co...

    Sorry ... don't mean to bug you, but I am intrigued with your upgrade. I have the Pro375 11.5 - I think I have a clutch. The pull cord when starting is a hazard as it gets violently pulled from my hand and one time cracking the plastic engine cover. Been 3-4 years since I started it but I hate it. What I wanted to ask is what Briggs electric start motor model did you get? i think I currently have 7 hp - newer models are 9 hp after 2022 I read. Thanks again

    • @OakKnobFarm
      @OakKnobFarm Před 4 měsíci

      Mine is a bit older than yours, I think (the previous model). You can tell if it has a clutch: the chipper assembly should be able to spin freely with the engine off if you have one. The original pull start engine was a 250cc +/- "Briggs 1150", which I understand to be abut 9 HP and 11.5 ft-lbs of torque. It also did the same thing as yours yanking the pull cord out of your hand. The new electric start engine is a 420cc "Predator" I got from Harbor Freight

Can it be done with a Harbor Freight one? Was it stick welding? I have a similar machine - used one season and sitting for 3 years. Been thinking of taking a stab at it.

  • @stevew3978
    @stevew3978 Před 6 měsíci

    I very much enjoyed this video. Didn't DR initially ship this chipper with a clutch? I forgot where I read it now, but those clutches DR used kept failing, and DR sent out repair kits that did away with the clutch. Doing away with the clutch is what's causing the hard starting. There's a lot of vibration on the bearing visible at 10:51. I wonder about the longevity of this bearing.

    • @OakKnobFarm
      @OakKnobFarm Před 6 měsíci

      I believe you are correct that these used to have clutches, but that was before I bought mine (I've had this one a little over 5 years). I have heard about the clutch failures, but am unsure what they used for an OEM unit back in the day. We'll see! I looked at the point in the video you referenced, and it certainly looks like the bearing is moving. While looking at it in person it does not appear to vibrate at all. I'll have to put a run-out gauge on it to see what's going on for sure next time I run it

    • @OakKnobFarm
