Wood chipper

[FLHollowPoint]

Well I have been busy trimming up all the trees on the farm. Still have a lot to do. Well after about 6 trips per weekend with the truck to get rid of the branches, I finally convinced the wife we need a wood chipper. Man they sure are pricey. Anyways since all my other attachments are Land Pride, and I already have the quick hitch, I am looking at the WC1504. Any opinions or advice. If not Land Pride which other would you recommend?

I am really thinking about this one this spring.........

I started out thinking that direction, realizing that I had a lot of bulk to get rid of. One day I had a row of stuff stacked up and decided to try the rotary cutter on it and it did a good enough job for me. Now anything under 2" diameter goes in a pile on my "killing field" that gets rotary cut, bigger stuff goes in a dump pile and sits until I have enough to fill a 30 cubic yd roll-off, which just takes a couple hours of grapple work. Your place won't be as neat and squared away as using a chipper/shredder but you'll have money towards a grapple and remotes, which come in handy for other things.

The grapple would be nice to have also. It would come in handy down by my lake front that I let overgrow on purpose. I clean it out about every other year. As far as using the rotary cutter it probably would not work for my place, I have to rotate my horses from the front and back paddocks to keep the grass from getting over grazed. Good idea though. I am lifting all my tree canopy's to keep from hitting my ROPS and sun canopy on the tractor. ( and to avoid the same thing that Skeets did. Ask him, Lol). Thanks for the advice.

Hummmm sometimes you should never say anything about dumb things you do,,,LOL,,
Something you might think about as far as the stumps go, a bud had a clear cut done and there were stumps everywhere I didn't know there were that many trees in that field,, Anyway he found a stump grinder to rent and we ground stumps for several days, not all the way out but to ground level so he could mow hay with out getting hung on anything. I don't know what it cost, but there's a thought cause I know how stupid horses can be some times. Well at least the Arabs, and quarters, and a really dumb Tennessee Walker that graced my fields before it all became the Ex's fields

You can't go wrong with Wallenstien. I got the BXM32 and love it.

No flooding here. I am outside of Ocala, About 7-8 hours SE of the flooding. We did get some needed rain, but not anything like our friends in the panhandle. May the Lord look over them during these tough times.

Glad to hear your ok but still sad to see all the hurt that's going on down there. They'll all be on our prayers. Stay safe.

I bought new pto chipper about 2 years ago or so. I bought one sold locally made by Agri-Ease. It's the same design as a Wallenstein at a fraction of the cost. Direct drive, no belts, big flywheel, self feeds great and has a huge opening.

I have a DRpower 3 point hitch chipper. 19 hp to 65 hp, Category 1 - 3 point hitch, fly wheel is 16.5 inches, 3/4 inch thick 55 lbs. Takes 4.5 inch branches with ease. I bought the extended chute which I use to blow the chips into the back of my truck. Very happy with this product, no problems to report.
