    That grapple is a great asset as is the wood chipper. Takes longer but no mess left behind. Looks like Murphys law was alive and doing well. After you’re finished it looks a lot cleaner. You and Rebecca make a great team, both hard workers and not afraid of hard work. I can relate to smashing fingers and pinching them. After all that work you need to kick back and have an adult beverage or two around the fire. Cheers

    I hope you will move the mulch away from the lower trunk or you could have problems with rotting bark. Great idea to take the limbs to the mulcher. Yes, it added to today's work but it means you have it all cleaned up and put where you want it.

  • @cue881-yo7kz

    I would say you are making tremendous progress. The place looks so much better with each project! I do agree that keeping the chipper near the work area is a better solution. Lots easier to move wood chips with the bucket than it is to drag the work to the chipper! Experience is the best teacher. Stay safe and God Bless.

      I don’t think there is a problem with fungus or burning the tree. However, as the fresh wood chips degrade there is a possibility that the process may take nutrients away from the tree. Enjoyed the video.

    Hi Evan, you have two nice tractors, (I have a TYM 433), use the grapple to grip the tree to keep the tree from rolling when you are cutting it up. Also, grapples will hold it and position it to process it completly. Like the wood chipper! Love the channel.

    Mulching with green wood chips:
    Both good and bad.
    Good: You will achieve keeping grass and weeds from growing around trees.
    It will help hold moisture in soil.
    Bad:
    The bacteria and fungi that break down wood are tremendous nitrogen users.
    Once the wood mulch has broken down, the high populations of bacteria and fungi will go down into the soil and deplete the nitrogen in the soil.
    Wood chips should be composted for at least a year before being used as mulch.
    Please watch for signs of nitrogen deficiency in your fruit trees and fertilize them.

    @southernadirondackoutdoors 3 місяці тому

    If you didn't try you wouldn't know. We have the hydraulic version of your chipper and the speed control is not very variable, either it is too slow or too fast and once we found a sweet spot we haven't changed it since. What is nice is to be able to flick a lever to stop or reverse the infeed rollers when chipping big stuff to let the engine rev back up.

  • @terrycastor8299
    @terrycastor8299 3 місяці тому

    Not a bad plan, but letting the chips compost or at least dry out first might be beneficial. I'm not sure this shows the limitations of tge chipper or the tractor, especially since the chipper has none of these problems when behind the bigger tractor. This might be a good job for one of the older tractors?

    and the saw ends up somewhere else, in the worst case inside your
    head. 🤕
    It's much safer to get the whole tree down and then saw into pieces.
    Even if something breaks or gets damaged: It's better than end up in a hospital... 🚑

    Wood chips cannot contact trunk of tree or it will kill the tree (don't ask me how I know). Also, decomposing chips rob the soil of nitrogen, so some manure mixed in away from the trunk might be helpful. Otherwise, looks great.
