Great video! Be glad! You just sold me on this chipper. I do respect a man who takes care of his machinery, is safety conscious, and is honest at heart. Again, thanks.
I bought a little 6.5hp chipper. It’s pretty amazing. Does up to 3inch branches. Not as easy to access the blades as this one. I was chipping a big vine and the bark actually clogged it up. Had to take out probably 8 bolts and split it in half just to get to the blades and free it up. Now that I have a 1025r I’m thinking of upgrading. Saw a DR one for $500. They basically gave that thing away. I wish I was faster at responding.
I have been waiting for this video.Glad you are happy with your purchase.Its to bad you do not have the setting for the auto feed.But like you said no bigger than your wrist,Then you will to have a problem then.
Hi Allen, I would love to have the self feed feature but it comes at another $1800 + $2000 price tag. This will serve my needs well. Thanks for continuing to watch and saying hello.
Just got the 665 tiller for my 2038R and that is my next attachment, I have trees that need some attention in my back yard!!! Keep up with the videos, excellent content, very nice commentaries !!!
Thanks for checking in Ty, do a video on the tiller, I'd like to see the 2038 in action, I'm 99% sure I'm purchasing one this spring. Any regrets with the 2038 you can share?
I will make a video of the tiller in a few weeks when the ground here in California gets dryer, we have had a lot of rain here and looking forward to putting it to work. I have had the 2038 for 18 months and love it, I didn't get the backhoe because I don't have a need for it, I do mainly mowing and box blading and some loader work and now getting into growing some corn/garden. I have no regrets at all. If your going to keep the 1025, my suggestion would be to compare the 2038 and the 3046 to see which one fits your needs better, both are just about the same size but the 3046 has more PTO power and more lifting weight, just depends on your needs and budget. Thnxs PS. I did post a video of a friend on my tractor cutting grass with the 72" belly mower I have if you want to look at it to get an idea on size.
@@tycanavan3705 Thank Ty for the advice to compare the 1025 to the 3 series. I'll do that. I will get a backhoe as I have a few jobs for it, if nothing else for therapy after work. I have 101 employees and need an outlet. LOL
I completely understand that therapy thing, that is the very reason I go and help mow my kids school yard, forget everything and leave the stress behind!!!!
Happy Sunday bones 549, you know they've been saying that bridge is going to be 4 lane for the past 30 years. I don't think I'll see that in my lifetime. Hope your healthy.
When I borrow my dad's X728 with a fixed rear weight box, I put a weight under each end of the trailer tailgate to lift it up a tad. Usually works depending on what spot I find for the trailer.
I have these same machines. The chipper works ok on dry material. But when I try to run limbs through with fresh green growth on them it plugs up very frequently. This has led me to believe that the air flow is inadequate for some types of green fresh growth material. I used to have a Valby chipper and it did not have this problem. So my work around is to let the material to be chipped dry for a while.
Bill this is another excellent video and it helps me a lot. I have miles of wooded trails that need grooming and afterwards I want to put down wood chips on the trails. I’m sold on this one now to, like you, go with my 1025R.
Hi Nowakesone, happy Sunday. There are more expensive wood chippers with more features, but for the money this is a very good chipper and works excellent with the 1025. I like to chip and grind anything smaller that a broom handle, although I've ground limbs up to the size of a baseball bat and it works well. - Bill
Bill Burkhart Bill Burkhart Thank you Bill. Happy Sunday to you too! I bought this land to camp and bushcraft. For me, this was/is going to be a personal retreat. But.... I see the potential that exists by grooming the trails and connecting the spurs. I’ve seen a few videos where people spread wood chips using manure spreaders... very efficient. The connectors will make the entire trail network about 4 miles long. Skim the rough stuff with the bucket, drag the obvious debris with the rake, chip all the deadfall with your chipper, spread it with the spreader. Having fun doing hard work. Your critique and criticisms are welcome.
@@nowakezoneforever6021 Wow, 4 miles in trails, I'm jealous. I hope you find as much enjoyment as I do owning land and creating and walking the trails.
Bill Burkhart I do too Bill. It’s obvious you do and so far I’m having a great time. This is all very new to me. Yesterday my wife and I hiked the existing trails and went off trail to cut those choking vines that kill trees. It was a win win win. Hopefully the trees are feeling better already, I know I am, and I went into areas not yet groomed and got a good look around. Man what a blessing this land is for me.
I bought one of these at auction for my B2650 One thing I did Bill was add some runners on the bottom of the unit so when the chipper is on the ground the PTO shaft is level with the tractor.
Pretty much all of these are made in China. There are numerous BX42S chippers you can buy from various suppliers that are basically identical. It seems they all perform well for homeowner property clean up jobs.
Great job on this video. Detailed but not at all drawn out. Loved the color commentary on your stomping grounds, by the way. It may be just me, but it appears your front tires are too low on air when you moved the chipper with the pallet forks. Might really reduce their load capacity.
Awesome, thank you Larry, thanks for noting my videos are not drawn out.......that's intentional. I'll check my front tires next time I'm out. Have a great Spring, stay healthy.
I bought the very same machine used a couple of years ago, and it works very well on a 21 hp Kubota. I discovered it's not a Wallenstein, even though it was advertised as one. It's a clone. Wallenstein parts work on it, though. Look for a serial number plate. If it has one, it's the real deal. If not, it came from China, like mine.
Rod Croskery I’ll be darn, I know Wallenstein parts work on it as I’ve ordered some. Just a minute I’m going to go look for the serial number............................I’ll be dam no serial number. Thanks for the information. -Bill
@@billburkhart One thing for readers: I originally tried to buy another clone, though missing a pto shaft. When I got it home and rotated the flywheel, the knives were all out of whack because the flywheel was warped. I took it back to the vendor because there was no way this thing could work properly. What sold me on the other one, which also turned out to be a clone, was that it was installed on a Kubota B7510 just like mine, the flywheel was flawless, and the vendor claimed it was a Wallenstein and worked well. I have had two years of extensive use from it, and the only replacement part was the bushing between the spout and the main body of the chipper: it was made of black plexiglass, rather than steel, on the counterfeit. The Wallenstein part cost $27 from my local Kubota dealer, though, and fit well.
Hello Gerald, happy Sunday. The jacks came with the trailer and I wouldn't have a trailer without them now. They make unloading so much safer for me. Have a great week and stay healthy!
Hello Bill, Great video. I believe the PTO shaft on the BX42S is telescoping. Did you have to saw off a couple inches of the PTO shaft of the BX42S to work properly with your John Deere 1025r?
Nick de Young Hello Nick happy Saturday. I did not modify the pro shaft at all. It fit and works perfect. Interesting question, thanks for asking the question and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
I’ve had a BX 42 for 11 years and used it a lot on my 2305. I also mow with a rear finish mower. At 800 hours I had to replace the drive line because the female splines were rounding off. I had thought that it was the proverbial spider joints. It turned out to be more than $900. In retrospect I wonder if all the vibration from the chipper contributed to spline rounding. I have been guilty of using it aggressively.
Bob Johnson i spray my male splines with graphite spray . Seems too help a lot . Chippers do hammer hard on drive line . Good info . Question ? Why so exspencive too replace drive shaft
Stephen, the female yoke is not available as an individual part. It's part of the whole driveline assembly that includes the spider joints. $751 instead of $116. The fortunate part is that the 2305 is simple to remove rather than taking apart half the tractor like on the 2210. The assembly seems a little short and the yoke has a lot more depth available. At the time there were only three driveline assemblies available in the whole country.
Bill, I think your Nothing Larger Than Your Wrist rule of thumb is more prudent than I have been. In the future I will probably pay more attention to material that causes the tractor to shudder. I have stalled it many times. I had gotten pretty cavalier over the years.
Hi Andrew I failed to show is how steep and fast the driveway drops off at that switchback. I'm going to try and change the pitch next year and build the drive right out to the drop off. Stay tuned. Thanks for checking in.
Bill, I have wanted a chipper ever since getting my 1025R. Have you used yours some more since this video? Any regrets on it or things to do different? Thanks, Jim
Hello Jim, I’ve used this chipper on the 1025 and the 2038 and was very happy with it. However, I sold it a month ago because I found I use the grapple instead to haul brush to a pit that I dump all my brush. I also found myself frustrated that I couldn’t grind up green limbs with leaves because it would plug up. I was also frustrated with the way the branches would tear my arms up pushing them into the chipper. Going forward, I’ll rent a large pull behind if I choose to grind up a pile of limbs. Hope my opinion helps you decide what to do.
Bill I’ve seen some people shy away from pto powered implements like this or a wood splitter because they are worried about putting too many hours on their tractor. Do you have any thoughts on that?
I had the same concern!, but after reviewing the design life of the diesel engine, I chose to purchase the 3 point attachment instead of buying another attachment with another engine to maintain. I still want to keep my hours low, so I organize my group and get the branches close to the machine before starting the engine. Good question!
The reason for the tractor is to work it. Not sure on how long they ate intended to last but by the time it needs replace the tractor should have paid for itself. I proably will rebuild my motor and keep going hopefully. But I only have 15 hours on it now so that might be a ways away
Good morning Jim, I purchased it together with the tractor from my dealer. The fence design has prevented damage to the front of the tractor numerous times. If you’re looking for a similar set of forks, check out Palletforks.com Enjoy the holidays. -Bill
My Ferguson te20's big problem was the lack of an over-running clutch. This propelled me over the odd boulder while bush hogging until I bought the add-on ratcheting attachment for the pto shaft. Depending upon the health of your Ferguson's engine, it would certainly be worth a try on a borrowed chipper before purchase. The clutch shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't engage the pto while moving the tractor. The 400 pound weight of this implement should be well within the te20's capablility.
It's good to grease your bearings, but be careful with that "big shot of grease". When the grease is pushing out past the seals you are damaging the seal. Should only need 1-2 pulls of grease at the recommended intervals after the bearing is initially filled.
Hello Mike, that's good to know, I wasn't aware I was doing that, thanks for pointing it out to me. I'll be aware of everything I grease. Have a great end of summer.
Hello Rodney, the fun meter was mentioned from video #96 at 4:19 on the timeline. I wired in a fun meter on the 1025 and thought it was kinda funny, but I didn't get many comments. Thanks for taking time to say hello, and thanks for your support of my videos. - Bill

Hello Mr. Kioti- I put three shear pins in the tool box, and I haven't used a one. Can't tell you exactly why I haven't, but I real happy with the chipper. Thanks for taking time to comment and say hello.
