I cut a few cedar trees down last year letting them shed their growth for a good bedding in this area. I’m hoping next year I can build a three sided shed to drive in and out of and not have to cover the tractors up. I used the Sears SS15 to haul the chipper to this area which was a little challenging the way the chipper rocks back and forth. In one area I put the tractor in 1st gear and got off to walk along the side of the chipper. I need to work this thing before cold weather so the new wheel and axle design will have to wait.
This chipper is working out very well. I chipped up four piles of growth nothing bigger than a couple of inches. I did try one bigger with no problems but I cut the bigger stuff for firewood. I limbed the trees last year so all that was left was the branches. I opened the discharge door to the second position and like designed it crests bigger chips which I like this pile better.
Once I got done I used the string trimmer to clean up the weeds. I had three bunches of honey locust shoots about 3’ high. These things are viscous.
I heard the dinner bell ringing around 1:00 from the house and had to quit for awhile to take care of this.
