We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acre homestead. We just finished building our log cabin in 2018. Now we are focused on trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey we continue to develop our homestead and farm, while becoming more self sufficient.

I bought a 1960 Massey Ferguson 95 Super at Auction. It was totally rebuilt and restored. It looked like a brand new tractor. A great, great buy! Auctions can sometimes be a treasure find.
I’m impressed that thing handles a log that big. Looks like you made a good score.
Came for the log. Stayed for the chipping.
Hi, Evan that's a nice machine. But please keep your hands away from the inbox. Put an imaginary line on it or paint a red line about 6 to 0 in in and never go beyond it.
Nice buy! We asked the guys trimming power lines to dump their chips for us to use, got 4 loads from them one summer. We mulched everything! Makes wonderful paths and trails in the woods!
Dad broke down and bought an old 1 row corn chopper for $1.00at an auction and stripped all the tin off the front of it. That pig ate a 12" walnut log like it wasn't even there! The old Ford just grunted and squatted at first bite and then proceeded to chew it up!
Good buy Evan. Certainly useful on the farm. Reminds me of Fargo ND and the bad guy trying to run the dead guy thru the chipper
Once I bought a dust collector at a garage sale, brand new never used for $100. Congratulations to all the winners!
I've got a MX-8800 and it's a beast. I've used it solid for 3 winters in a row and there's very FEW trees it wouldn't eat. All I can say is WEAR EYE PROTECTION, a face shield if you can. That thing can flip a tree in any direction violently and the first time you get whipped by a branch in the face, you'll wish you had that shield on.
The hour meter was not working on this one. So I couldn't tell how many hours were originally on it. But I don't think it was very many.
@@CountryViewAcres For the most part, it looks nearly new. You got a killer deal on that! That should lessen the sting from that hay wagon. BTW, one thing I would check is that if you lift it all the way on the 3-point lift, that it's not bottoming out the PTO shaft and compressing it. Mine had to be shortened to fit correctly.....and they have directions for doing that, but mine still ended up wanting to bind up the shaft when I lifted it. There's like a single magical dimension that works perfectly....at least on my Kubota that was the case.
I’m having a country view acres marathon tonight keep up the good work Evan
Those bolts might be for the blades. I worked trimming trees for the city and our chipper required for the bolts to be replaced every time the blades were changed. The blades could be rotate once but weren't supposed to be resharpened. Be sure to read the manual on that.
I'll agree. I own a tree service & I have a 12" Brush Bandit chipper. With the double sided knives, you reuse the bolts when you flip them. You have to use new bolts when you install new knives.
Most large (>5") chippers require a bolt change with every blade change....and be sure you torque them properly.
the goats would've love those branches !!!!
The yellow handle looks like a safety bar that has been installed incorrectly.
I'd expect the pushed away position to be what stops it, not pulling it.
If it pivoted about the centre rather than the end that would reverse that disabling rod.
Check and clean out you chute after every use as if your chipping green wood, leaves, etc they tend to plug the chutes up because of the sap, moisture in the material. Dried limbs leaves chip up much easier and goes thru the machine alot better. But you got a great chipper . Those extra bolts may be extra bolts when you change the cutter blade out.
That's right. Not suppose to use old bolts with new blades.
I agree about those bolts, but they could also be shear bolts for the machine. Best that you go through all of the information you have for it Evan, it should be in there what they are for. Very nice looking machine however you look at it.
Dry limbs dull your blade faster, DON’T chip dry limbs!!
Looks good, thanks for sharing your experience!
Look at that guy using those "safety pins"/////way to go Evan!
What a great deal on the chipper. It look new. Who ever had it took good care of it and I know you will. Another useful addition to the homestead. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on your new purchase for the homestead.
Evan oh I love that machine and it's powerful
Love your channel. So relaxing to watch
I don’t think I’m the only one having chipper envy…great find….
Much better deal than the last 1
You did get a good buy on your chipper. We used a Jinma chipper for many years and it served us well. It was very similar to yours, although yours does have many improvements. That extra set of blades would have cost you over $250 to buy. Be sure to view the CD and read the user manual carefully when it comes time to reverse your original set of blades. Yes, they are reversible. I believe you will find out that the extra bolts you found are mounting bolts for the new blades. They looked hardened. And, if they require hex wrenches, then it is 90% that is what they are for. My wife and I both enjoy your videos. You and Rebecca remind us of ourselves, 30 years ago.
That's one of your nicer purchases! And the TYM seemed to handle it fine as well
Great purchase Evan! That'll be a work horse for ya when you need it. Congrats to all the winners! Keep the videos coming! God Bless!
If you have ever had any thing to do with wood chipper the extra bolts might be for the blades
I have one Evan, use the new bolts when you change blades, you’re going to love making your own mulch.
About time somebody sold you something you didn't have to completely rebuild before you could use it.
Another new toy for Evan, good one this time mate. NO REPAIRS
Great addition to your farm!
One thing I have to ask....in what universe is maple "not good firewood"?😳
Most maple is soft maple. Its fine but as far as good goes, oak, locust, sugar maple etc. Are all superior
It will eat!!!😮
$1100? Wow, I'm envious now!!!!! You see another one, you give me a holler!!!!
Looks like you got a good deal on that chipper. That is one thing that would be nice for us to have but we wouldn't use it enough to justify it. It will definitely be well worth it for you. Great video like always. Thanks for sharing.
The flat top bolts are for the blade attachment
Good to see you buying things for your new tractor . Nice video !
Wood Chips will always make good compost for enchantment to the garden and food lots.
I just realized you're a ferkin genius
Look out trees.....🌳..Evan has a new toy.
Congratulations to all the winners of your 100K giveaway. Looks like you did good with your bid on the chipper, read and heed the safety instructions on using the chipper, the wood can snag your clothing and you NEED to know how to stop the chipper. Stay safe and have fun working with the equipment you'll like it. Fred.
THERE'S your Kindling maker!🤣
I like those chips. Good fire starters for your firepit or add to your animals bedding, flower bed or garden.
Great score on your part! Surprised to hear you say maple is not good for burning...we consider it a hardwood and use it in our stove all the time!
Nice machine
Paint it red. 😊
Nice buy! Like you said you just don't know till you try it out. Looks like a good one! Congrats on the 100K!
I would have lost that bet. That chipper is a beast!
Congratulations to all the winners. I know you are going to enjoy your prizes. Great score on the wood chipper. I can see this as being one of the most used machines on the homestead. Have a Blessed day.
Nice find, the chips seem to be fine in size which will make for fast compost.
Nice presentation fast becoming my go to channel. Congratulations on 100,000.
The bolts may be for the chipper blades. Many times those bolts are a torque to yield bolt and therefore a one time use only
Evan, I recommend you to check the manual of that wood chipper. In my opinion it's allowed to chip only fresh wood with max diameter. The dried one should have smaller diameter.
Wow what a great deal there evan now there's a peace of machinerie you don't half to work on and it even works great.
This will make your life so much easier!
You deserved a good deal after your last auction fiasco.
very good video, thank-you
Awesome buy. Makes me think of the movie Fargo.😉
Love your channel.
That’s cool, I haven’t seen one that works on the back of a tractor like that. Awesome
Very impressive piece of machinery.
I use Illinois hibid all the time. Lots of great deals
Good find seems to work for what you wanted it for.
Good job Evan , now get to work on that new wood shed !!!!!!!!
Goodbye now you can trim those hydros back around the hayfield good job for this winter
WOW Evan very nice deal! Very Handy! Love watching!
You can use the wood chipper to grind corn and make small batches of corn silage, or haylage and even bedding for animals
Great find.
Hibid is great. Absolutely great score! Anything under 50% of retail good.
Great buy! 👍Thanks for sharing!
It looks like a pretty good piece of equipment!
Now that’s one powerful chipper!
I like the way you wear rubber gloves all the time wouldn't want you to get your hands dirty
wood chips also make for a great fire starter when dry and they dry very quickly
Congratulations to the winners.
Suggestion, park right in front of your compost bin then aim the ejector straight in. Less to no clean up at all.
It’s a great piece of kit. Finally using the tractor for what it’s worth.
We have a small farm and need equipment from time to time. My husband participates in online auctions, but only those within driving distance so he can schedule an appointment and look over the item. Has saved him from bidding on items requiring too much work or something that has issues not disclosed.
Well done on winning the chipper auction got a good deal there. Ralph from Wales UK.
way better than burn piles. Everybody should have a chipper for land clearing.
You should chip into your barge wagon. That way, you can move it to the locations of use easily.
Try putting the hardwood chips around your bushes, and watch them grow.
I have the previous model of yours. Mine is hydraulic (Woodland mills). I don't chip 8 inch as I burn anything over 4 inches. The extra bolts are for the replacement chipping blades. My chipper is at least 10 years old. I have only replace the blades. In regards to some wood not going in, Check that there isn't a pair of limbs off the main piece of wood. The teeth of the infeed roller will not pull the limb in. You can see it in your video at 9:17. you can see where the infeed roller was stuck, spinning. You can pull it out, cut it off, or lift the infeed roller and push the limb past the roller. cheers Jeffrey
Hey Evan, been a long time subscriber. Love the great content you provide. Never have commented any any videos but I had to on this one. I actually work for Woodmaxx as parts manager for many years now. Great deal you got on the WM-8M
Good win on that chipper. I'm a big fan of gadgets.
Whoa! I did not think I had a chance to win!
Holy carp, that was a big piece. I have a much smaller one, so the burn pile wins 90% of the time.
Looks like you got a great deal. Works better than I expected it to.
Looks like quite a machine! Maybe the online gods are making up for your hay wagon.
Good deal should give you many years of chipping
Really proud of both of you ❤
Good job...Chipper looks good and what a good deal you got....!!!!
I know a rancher that uses chipper that size to grind corn silage for his cattle and hogs
Nice find from an auction!
Congratulations again like your videos please keep them coming and hopefully you will get more subscribers also congratulations to the winners
Spare bolts are for the blades, they recommend changing them with the blades. Nice score!
Great find. Glad that you scored it. Wood chips for pellet smoker? Lol
I think You've got a keeper there.
I think I would have parked the chipper closer to the bins, tilted the shute to negate the wind blowing the chips around.
Online auctions you usually get refurbished equipment or old models or discontinued products
That is super cool I have to say a great investment
As to why it came with so many extra bolts. Chipper blades are held in place by stretch bolts so when you remove the old ones for blade sharpening or replacement with new blades you have to use new strech bolts and make sure you torque them to the correct f/lbs. It will say in the manuel. I am a estate gardener who is trained to use a chipper, on the chipper qualification course here in the England they make a big emphasis on the stretch bolt issue. Great channel by the way, love watching a good old square baler and hay rake work in your hay making videos. Thanks
Congrats to all the men that won the giveaway!
Sorry, 90% of my viewers are men. Odds are stacked in their favor.
Evan, the Wood Max is a good brand and I think you got a good deal on the wood chipper.
great find. Good patience and searching for what you need.
Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.
