Renting Vermeer 6 inch chipper + builders bag experiment
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- We rented a chipper from Essex Equipment - this time a Vermeer BC700XL that can chip 6'' diameter logs. This time we also got a few builder bags and are attempting to persuade the woodchips to go into the bags so that we can transport the woodchips in the bags instead of one tractor bucket at a time.
Thank you to Essex Equipment (www.essexequip... locations in Berlin and Essex Junction, Vermont) for giving us a discount on the rental.

ABOUT US:
We are Matt and Diana and we believe in living life the #adventurousway. We are on a quest to explore ALL the National Parks while enjoying that RV life, but we are adding in an additional adventure of #buildingahouse to be our home base on the 40 acres of raw land we recently purchased in Vermont.
Filming dates: August 2021
It is fun to watch you improve the land each step of the way. Your respect for the forest is obvious & your care will pay off in greater privacy as well as a healthy corner of thecworld.
Thank you Liz!
Congrats on the paid promotion! Also, it was cool seeing the new chipper type and the difference between it and the other. Learn alot from you guys! I bet the land is starting to get real gorgeous with fall coming. Here in the Arizona desert we still have to wait awhile lol
Yup, leaves are just starting to turn. Can't wait to see it in full fall colors! We got a discount for the chipper rental, but the only option UA-cam gives is marking the video as "paid promotion".
We love watching your Vermont land clearing & home building adventures. One unrelated question: How’s the ORV 21RBS doing since the roof replacement?
Thanks David! The RV is doing great - I've been up on the roof a few times to check and it's all looking good. We've not yet decided what to do about solar yet, so for the time being I'm repurposing some of our rooftop panels as ground-deploy instead.
thanks for sharing this interesting experience with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Making progress...yay!
It's slow work, but we're chipping away at it ;-)
@@AdventurousWay "chipping away"...lol
Hey Mat, I’m looking for some solar consultation, do you provide that service? Do you know of anyone reliable who does? Great job with the chipping mate 👊🏻
Yes, that's something I can help with. Drop us an email and we can discuss details: www.adventurousway.com/contact
I just unloaded the chips into the back of my truck which is lined with a tarp.
We were thinking of doing something similar. Did you put any boards up along the sides of the bed to help contain the chips? Also, how did you get the chips back out - just shoveled them or were you able to pull the whole tarp out?
@@AdventurousWay I just shovel it out until I can pull the tarp.
That said a dump trailer works a lot better, but with only a si glue tractor and a truck I can understand why you don't have one.
But since you guys are doing what your doing I highly recommend purchasing one.
As i'm watching this I was also thinking of some way to collect the chips in the bed of the pickup. 🤔 Perhaps I can rig up some kind of platform to elevate one of those square bags or a garbage pale to the chute. McGuyver time! 😁
