I've watched hundreds of these shredding and chipper videos. This machine is by far the best. Just steady grinding no hang ups. Running large logs and tree's piling massive amounts of chips.
I agree. For the application of chipping (not grinding) urban wood waste "not whole trees like loggers", I have not found another machine that can handle the wide range of tough material, especially shorter, wider wood. The one video of the monster crotch wood getting chipped really shows just how effective this set up is. The only down side is the knives are very susceptible to damage from metal but that's true for any chipper I suppose. The nice thing is you can service the effected smaller knives vs having to replace a giant knife if one section of it takes damage.
Have you ever used one of these machines to make mulch? It's quite fascinating to watch the uncolored mulch go into the chipper and come out in a different color.
@@TechnologyDirector-h9s Yes, I owned a 3680 and colored mulch that way. I didn’t like it as a coloring unit because u like every other horizontal, it has a pit with augers instead of an anvil which in my experienced caused the colorant to pool and jam the augers.
That being said, whether the metal, dirt, or debris was in the wood or not, it probably wouldn't have affected it. The chipper looks like it has modern wood filter system capability.
If I were in charge of feeding this machine right now, I would have picked a loader or a bucket, rather than a grabber. You can't get more than one crooked log into any chipper like this. The hopper chute is too long and narrow. All the chippers I own have modern built-in wood filtering systems that automatically remove the bark with rotating chains, scan the wood for metal with lasers and chip out metal pieces with smaller knives less prone to damage, and garbage remover belts that discharge gravel, rocks, and anything that falls through the grate inside the machine in front of the knives.
The yard was kind of a disaster and disorganized at that time making every other machine inaccessible. The knuckle boom is great at picking logs out of piles but the downside is it's hard to get more than 1 or two at a time, especially when the logs are just chaotically piled. The grapple only puts pressure to hold the biggest log and smaller ones fall out if you try. Using the log loader keeps the material clean vs using a loader with a bucket that inevitably grabs dirt and debris too

Brand new or freshly sharpened knives will do that. When a machine rejects infeed or bogs down constantly, it’s usually a question of maintenance.

Why is only 1 log at a time being fed into the chipper ?

At 9:15 did they beam the full truck out and new truck in?
I spliced the footage out of order so you'll see the trucks being loaded in random sequence
Get rid of the music and let the beast sing!
I hear ya but drones don't have any audio unfortunately
