That is a big chipper ( not huge ) maybe having a trailer to blow the chips into for use on your garden or whatever might be a good idea ! My chipper is much smaller and has big bags that it collects chips in and I use them around my plants in the garden .
Reading my mind brotha! Coming soon!
Dave Kimbler I was thinking the same thing Dave
Maybe something similar to a manure spreader, allowing for broadcasting the chips over a large area.
Dave M much easier to use the loader then a manure spreader for placing the chips where you want them , if you just want to spread them over a large area then a manure spreader would work .
I used to live near a good friend that had a tree service. He had a pile of ships that had sat for about 6 years. When you got to the lower 2 feet of that pile you had the prettiest black soil you could want.
I also have a small chipper. If I have ANY Hickory I separate them and use them on my smoker. I just like the smell, and the taste. Mine is more of a hammer mill, but it will chip 3" limbs.
Also my soil is low on organic matter also. I have been using Buckwheat as a green manure crop, but you have to till it under before it seeds. breaks up the clay pretty good.
I have to be careful due to the rock soil I have. I can be going along and hit the top of a rock that weighs more then the tractor.
Great video. I do have to wonder about a shear pin that breaks that easily. Perhaps they should be using a clutch over a weak pin. I just seems like more and more things are designed to be a lot lighter then the older ones. I'd rather break a shear pin then the machine, but I'm just thinking it's a chipper for crying out loud. It should not break just bringing it up to speed.
I just think for the money they cost, it should be better. But, if I knew everything, I'd be rich, LOL.
Smiles.
Your channel is awesome thank you too you and you wife for being a nurse and taking care of people in need
Great Video as usual AND I loved the intro... As my daddy always said, "People who think they know it all are particularly irritating to those of us who do!"
Michael McNeal wise words bud
@@SunnySlopeHomestead Thanks bud... as I got older it amazed me how my father seemed to get smarter!
Michael McNeal anytime friend , I lost my dad a few years back and I’m starting to realize things like this myself about him. It keeps me loving each day I have with my family and show my daughter what a good man is and my son how a good man acts .
Not me, I don't know nothing and I can prove it!
Barry Simmons 😆😆😆 fake the funk until you get it is what I say lol
Great video, Loving that Massey! I bought a Fordson a couple weeks ago and they are such versatile machines. The 40hp diesel is just about perfect for 80% of the jobs on a homestead. Another positive to that under cut on the branch is the limb wont pull and tear the bark when it is ready to fall. Leaving a clean cut that is faster and easier for the tree to heal.
I have a Echo Bearcat chipper which will do 2.6 inch wood easily. Everything else goes in the wood pile to burn for winter use. Chips go into the compost for the next years garden. Nothing is wasted. Even the ashes out of the stove is fertilizer!
Hi there Josh, I just wanted to say thankyou very much for your time making these videos for everyone to watch and learn from, you and your wife have a beautiful property and I really appreciate you sharing your life on the farm with us. Very inspirational content. Keep up the fantastic work brother, you should be extremely proud of your achievements. 🤝🤠💝👍
Great video Josh, that's a great chipper, very handy for recycling material around the farm. That's awesome that your restoring the fertility of your land with organic matter!
This did better than expected! Nice chipper. Less moving parts to maintain than my hydraulic feed chipper. That is a real plus in my book. It really does a good job of feeding itself from what we can see!
Good example for the viewers on method of cutting as well as safety. Great job with the pole saw.
Good morning Josh! Thanks for the great tip on the polesaw! Will give it a try this week. Love your channel and enjoy the happy, positive energy! Also enjoy the great homegrown tunes. Have a great week. Cheers!
Great video, I love your intro. We did the wood chip process on our farm and it helped big time. I also appreciate you showing your viewers about the safety aspect when using dangerous equipment. Great job
Good cutting technique on that limb. Glad you explained it for your viewers. I like the Noveske sticker too
Josh, My dad and Grandfather used to saw "Rather you be a jack of all trades and a master of none" now its an old saying but thats how I work and how I take on projects on my homestead! You do a killer job no matter what you do! You are well rounded and have the know how to tackle almost anything! Keep up the nice work! Chipping the brush is with the PTO chipper is awesome for the soil and helps add nutrients as you know! WOOOOOOOO
The wood chips will break down and give you organic matter, but they can also change your ph, so keep an eye on that. Glad you figured out the shear pin problem. Nice job!!
That is one hungry dog Stoney! It chewed that hardwood right up. I'de keep the bigger stuff for my wood stove. Happy days!

I just bought a tandem axle Vermeer chipper from my boss it is a massive machine i was with him when he bought it so i know it has been taken care of i have been using it nonstop for the past two weeks cleaning up my property
Now that is something I can use on my farm. Thanks for sharing 👍
I love the way talk the audience through the correct way to use the variety of mechanical tools needed
I really appreciate the fact that you use hearing, eye and head protection. Many a farmer has suffered injury because they find safety equipment is just a nuisance. Keep up the good work.
Love the farm buds good idea with the wood chips wow ty for the safty I for got over the years with chain saws an chippers I agree with trying on ruff cutting your lumber buds there is a lumber mill homestead port a lumber mill on the market it's light an ya can pull it with your side by side tractor or truck love your vids
I love the fact you do it yourself that's Awesome
I try to be self sufficient when I can brotha
Lots of good advice and information. As always, thanks for sharing!
Have you done a tour of that awesome log cabin tobacco outbuilding yet? And talk about the history and whatnot? Anything log cabin related is just plain cool!
Nice video. Man, that 240 Massey is beautiful! Take good care of that baby!
Tree felling and welding bring out all the "experts"
Outdoors With The Morgans lol right
Haha
Hahha so true
Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
Just dealt with Titan! Great customer service!
that looks like a handy peice of equipment. good informational video. thanks for sharing👍👍👍👍👍
Josh you guys do really great videos. Easy to fallow and learn from!
Face shield recommend. Still an excellent video. Love the pole saw portion. Glad you took the time to discuss safety. Very critical in my field of work.
Luv the backup music Dude, keep up the good videos!!
You’re talking my language. I’m a recovering tobacco farmer in central Kentucky. Soil degradation,now regenerative soil building through carbon sequestration. Nice Tornado cap
Thanks Jonathan...yessir it takes some time to build the land back up! I'll be mowing my butt off this summer!
Great video Josh. I had no idea they would chip 6inch oak.
A wise man told me once, "It is the things you learn after you know it all, that count".
love your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.
Good day,
We have a bulldog 410 chipper, was told to run green wood along the dead wood to cool the blades. Ours binds up with cedar and P elm . We chip everything under 2 inch .🙂
Pretty excited to see you get a portable mill. I've wanted one for a while, and likely won't be able to get one for several years. I'll be buying some property with lots of trees on it!
Awesome video Josh, thanks
Hi Josh I love watching you and Mrs Stony Ridge
Awesome!
Really glad to see you using the proper safety equipment. Never take shortcuts. Can't wait for the garden videos
We have a junkkari HJ250G on our mf4709, i love it so much. it is so satisfying to watch the logs be chips
Have a older version - good inputs on double cutting. I was told the bottom was 1. to prevent trunk stripping when the limb splits and falls with a top only cut. If you can get powder charcoal it is good to till in. Plants love it. Wood chips typically rob Nitrogen. If it is provided by a cover crop it will boost as well. Yes if a mound of chips from a Big chipper truck - it will be brown dirt in 2 years or less. We used it as dressing and fill.
That Massey is clean as a whistle that's a good looking and working combo rig.... rock on brother...love it
I bought the Stihl Combination unit twenty years ago with the biggest two stroke power head. It is lacking power on the tree saw and lawn edger. I bought the biggest four stroke power head when it came out. WOW what a difference! I will use it to prune trees that I have downed rather than fight branches. I also have a Woodmaxx hydraulic feed chipper. I can chip around three inch limbs with my 3350 Kubota and six inch with the 5740. I like to be able to adjust the feed rate. Keep up the good videos!
Another great vid! Love the disclaimer about "know it all's" so don't take this comment as such. Just more things I've learned along the way from watching/working with tree service guys, along with processing trees on our own farm. Your Husky and you are big and powerful enough that you can stand up to do the top cuts on the log. Requires more control and more arm muscle, depending on your chain, (I run a full chisel) but saves your back and you aren't bent down like that. I walk down the log with it between my legs and the saw pointed down using the tip of the saw to cut. Roll the log over and do the same to finish her off. I won't go doing this on anything big though. Another thing I do when I am in the back of the property and the wood has to come to the front where the house is, I leave the logs anywhere from 8 to 10ft depending on size/weight and use the pallet forks or grapple to bring them to the wood shed and do the cutting there. I cut and the wife stacks.
Totally love the opening disclaimer priceless
Another informative video to enjoy. I could really use that wood chipper around here.
Love this FarM! Love you both!!! 🤗🤗🤗
Nice vid! Im a new comer and i live in a town called altoona i live in the city but i love it out on ranches and i love the old way of living. And cant wait for Friday i love the willys jeep vids!
That is a nice chipper! Great work, Josh
Nice chipper. I like it!👍🏻👍🏻
Man I need a PTO wood chipper. All I've ever had are the kind you wheel around yourself. They don't chip much. Lol.
SmokyMountainOutdoorsman yeah I got rid of mine , it’s was worthless! I’m with you need a pto chipper
Hi Josh. Nice job with your new wood chipper. Love the Massey Ferguson 240. Well jealous I’d love one. They fetch a lot of money especially in that condition over in the UK - love the Volg wooooo
Sarcastic jerk is so right. Josh I think you did an awesome job and I thank you so much
Great job, I need to get a chipper that I can use with my Kubota.
Driving to damn near Minden LA from OKC area for my DR PTO powered chipper tonight! Gunna attach to the old 8n and stop burning and start chippin!
Make sure to use a stick to feed it the debris in the shute and wait a minute or so before disengaging the pto. Will keep it easier on the next start up👍
Thanks for the video homeboy
Great video Josh! You are dressed to the nines, safety first!
Doing things right with the chipper! I live in the Pacific Northwest, 120+ inches of rain and the brush grows with a vengeance. Spring clean up happens in March. Think about a dump cart trailer on the utility vehicle to move chips far and wide. A friend has a manure spreader to spread his chips. I use my chips for mud, weed free trails and mulching around the blueberries.
I like the log barn on your place. It looks to be in good shape.
Your farm looks very peaceful and relaxing
How come watching a wood chipper work is so relaxing?
A lot of good looking farms in your neck of the woods. I think you’re going to one up a lot of them.
Great job enjoyed that!!!
Life is so sweet when things go so smooooooooooooooth!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the vids, keep up the great work.
Nice always learning from you
That’s a handy little polesaw!
AMEN, LOVE THE INTRO
Sweet chipper!!! Great video can you adjust the size of the chips?good looking farm
Just so you know Josh, I AM an expert on eating cornbread and milk, and enjoying a glass while enjoying your video, great job as usual Sir, keep 'em coming! :-) ll
That chipper does a nice job.
kill the music. i cant hear the machine running. Are the RPM's high enough (540?)? The chips are going far?
Great video, like the music ❤😁
What do you do with the wood chips after
Love you vids can you wish my mum a happy Mother’s Day on your next video please 👍
The Andrew pearce that would be cool 😎
Wood chipper is really a handy tool for your farm.....good investment.....
That’s good to see. I saw another video that had a smaller chipper and it didn’t do as good
Gotta learn how to use it ...that helps alot...don't over tax it
How’s the field looking now with a year for the wood chips to break down? I know it will take a few yrs but curious if you have a follow up video.
I got a Titan BX62 last year around this time. I use anything 4" or larger in the stove and am still spending as much time putting in new shear bolts as I am chipping. I have a 38hp electric pto and don't have any problem with engaging the pto but while chipping it will shear for no apparent reason, very frustrating! It came with a grade 5 shear bolt and I am afraid to try a grade 8 - can do without the chipper but not my tractor. Just came across your channel and enjoy the videos and most of the comments, really good info, Thanks
So far so good...I did break one more sheer pin...and I've been in close contact with Titan....they are looking into a slip clutch design for this chipper. I found that if I tighten down the sheer pin it really helps and if I throw in something 5-6 inches it needs to be a touch shorter....I can grind 2-3 inch stuff 16 feet long..but 5-6 inch needs to be about 3 feet long so the chipper holds momentum...that's your sheer pin breaker...when you loose that momentum on the fly wheel
Thanks for the update. I will try tightening the shear pin tighter and various methods to alleviate the problem and update my comments as I figure it out. I like the idea of a slip clutch and that makes me think that it is somewhat of a common problem for Titan to be working on a fix.
I just ordered a PTO wood chipper a couple days ago
Woof keep up the awesome work you do love the vids
Do you send your chipper blades anywhere to sharpen them or just replace them? I have the same chipper and always replace them. I was wondering if there was some place to sharpen them.
Does it leave a part of the branch behind since there is no hydraulics to pull it through?
You could plant crimson clover for building biomass. You could also look into some Paulownia trees, they grow very fast and have huge leaves. They are a softer wood so will chip up nicely and they fix their own nitrogen, like the clover.
I have a similar issue of not much topsoil. Headed to my property this weekend to clear a patch of poplar. Awesome chipper man, I'm jealous
Josh, learn from my mistakes, we have a similar chipper and I got tired of breaking the shear pin. I retro fitted a slip clutch from agri supply and it makes a huge difference. I diddn't have the startup issue but I was breaking them when the branch got too short and would wedge in the drum
I like the open chute
Oh Mr. Stoney Ridge I sure do love ya 😂!!! (I love how you explain for people to not be jackasses in the comments 😂)
Man, you are real life Ron Swanson :)
Sir, I am curious as to where your farm is located. My grandparents lived in Stoneville. Are you nearby?
When will we get a Stoney Ridge Farmer Album?!?! You are great! Woo!
I'd say my 56 was one of the best big property purchases I ever made. I don't know how i got by w/o it with tree clean up.
The flywheel on those Titan wood chippers is 190 pounds and 30 inches in diameter. I believe there is also a 24 inch model, but both are rated to handle 6 inch branches. That heavy flywheel will definitely break shear pins.
Hey Josh me and my dad just got a Vermeer bc1000 wood chipper for are tree bissiness and on the video/manual it says to put the brush in the machine from the side so if your cloths get caught you will not get pulled in. Just something to think about....love the channel
Howdy laddie, glad to see the chipper is up and running.
As others have said the hard wood chips will take quite a while to rot down and give back the goodness. i appreciate its a lot more faffing about, but why not, like Shaun at Edible Acres ( well worth watching him!!) and put some of the hard wood chips in with the chickens. They will help speed up the rotting and add some extra vitality to the chips then you can spread out on the fields for a quicker nutrient turn around.
Beautiful. farm 🚜
Pete told me to check ya out. Nice channel man. Enjoy that new toy coming your way.
Hey Josh, you may want to have an extra set of blades on hand and find out where you can have yours sharpened, they dull rather quickly especially if you chip old dead hardwood. Thanks for the video.
Yessir...I've got a guy for the job that's for sure!
Now that’s cool!!!!!
Need one of them.
