6 liter will drink more when not chipping hard, but if they are both the same price.....get the big boy. More cubic inch displacement will mean it can operate with less load on the engine. It will live longer with less wear on the internals of the engine IMHO
Hey Jacob, I’ve been watching your channel for sometime now. What I admire about you is that you are a young man, hard-working, on entrepreneur, very positive social influencer, and obviously decent human being, very capable, confident, talented. I sincerely wish you the best in your business endeavors. I am a 58-year-old businessman myself, owned an/d operated various small businesses for the past 30 years and understand the struggle that is involved. I live on 128 acre property where I harvest wood in order to heat my home. I have learned a tremendous amount from you and enjoy, watching the complexity of some of your jobs, because my situation is less difficult than your jobs! 😊
Right from the git go I knew you were going to go with the new model because of the convenience of the way it was setup and the extra horsepower to frag the big ones faster. Congrats on your business being profitable enough to have the best equipment!
I love how the poplar serves it's purpose in the natural environment. Though a weak wood it's a fast growing pioneer tree adding it's organic matter to the forest floor improving the soil composition for more valuable (to people) trees to come up in the better soil. That makes it perfect for chipping.
I’m just an old woman who, for inexplicable reasons, enjoys your videos. My experience with cutting trees is limited to a long dead tree (I’m being generous) that I cut down with a reciprocating saw and pruning palm trees. Still, I find what you so fascinating. You’ve probably explained before but can you tell me why, when cutting the wedge, sometimes the horizontal part of the wedge is at the bottom and sometimes at the top? Thanks Jacob and best wishes.
I was wondering the same thing myself, does it make any difference at all? I love using an axe to split wood. Yes, I’m a weird old woman but I liked it when my husband came home smelling like a woodpile!!
''The position of the horizontal part of the wedge determines the direction of the tree's fall; placing it at the bottom pushes the tree down, while placing it at the top causes it to fall upwards relative to the hinge.''
the downward is a humbolt face cut..the other a traditional face cut ...Jake does mostly humbolts...I was taught/certified at an arboretum and they only taught traditional face cuts
My man, if you have to decide between 2 new chippers ranging around $80,000, the yearly salary of many people, I applaud you for your business success. I can't wait to be like you when I grow up!!!
The depreciation for tax purposes likely makes the initial bite much smaller, plus you get the depreciation expense offsetting taxable income for years to come. And if you finance it, the interest is deductible too.
Impressive new chipper you just purchased! I am sure it we’ll help expedite chipping of brush and sizable limbs on future jobs. Your young arborist Isaac seems to have some exceptional skills with tree work. I am sure he will get even better as time goes on. It was quite enlightening to watch a young man do things as skillfully as he did , in taking down the very tall , two dead poplars. The way you and your guys explain the rationale for what you are doing, makes watching your videos so much more enjoyable , for those of us not involved in your trade. You will never get bored watching a. Guilty of Treeson video, never! The humor that a you , Randy and some of the others interject during the video, make it a lot more entertaining for the audience. Thanks for sharing the video footage of your tree removal jobs with us. Your efforts are much appreciated by the audience!
I would love to move out there with you and learn from you be part of the team would be so amazing to be able to work for you as well as watch an learn from the greatest arborist I know! Love your videos been watching you for years! You’re such an inspiration and watching Issack grow is so cool! Hes a very lucky young man
If you can get a ford 6.2 I’d highly recommend it. We have that smaller psi in our 1415 and a 6.2 in our 2131 and the 6.2 actually drinks the same or less fuel even with a much bigger chipper.
Right off the bat.. I don’t like the one with electric style feed wheel control…instead of direct hydraulic activation that clicks in.. just more electronics to worry with
I have a old moorbark 2070xl twister 1 knife 100 hp turbo deisle its been used abused and fixed from general wear and ive re enginerd alot of things on it but moorbark chippers just wont quit and mine anyway sucks stuff in better then bandit and Vermeer. Glad to see your business doing well
I'd still spend the extra money on a bandit. Having the lever to open and crush is such a great feature. Also for the shear size of that 16 is crazy, I think a bandit 18 is about the same size or smaller
Morbark knives hold their edge better. You can adjust the feed cycle by 50 rpm at a time to find the sweet spot. That reverse pivot arrangement works surprisingly well in how close to the drum the feed wheel holds and backs material away without stalling. Adding that new machine to the stable should have you feeling "guilt-ridden".
I like the automatic clutch system. This is great for many reasons, especially if you have employees. There's less chance of someone not knowing how to engage the chipper clutch properly and ruining it over time. They should invest in a hydraulic chute that moves left to right and up and down. It saves so much time and makes it much easier to load a truck full of wood chips.
For the ported 540 if you have issues getting it to start or run you have to autotune reset it. Easiest way is to just run it wide open for maybe 20 seconds. Also, if you have trouble starting it you can chain brake it and hold down the trigger and pull start it.
you always take them down safely and with out any issues! $80k is a tone of work! just keep busy and working hard! you will keep ahead of the game! and get things paid off before you know it! keep up the great videos, and be safe out there!
Find a chute control rod off of and old snowblower,weld a course threaded rod on the end of it,then weld a nut on the chute so you can just crank it to adjust it! Not the entire set of instructions,but im sure you get what im saying! I have done it to a few chippers and it works awsome.thx for the video
Yes a chip off! I think it would be super dank if you started doing product reviews/comparos Jake. Also, I have always wondered what the hell the two lines that hang down inside the chipper. I believe I’ve never seen one that didn’t have them. I imagined it was some sort of safety feature that would stop you from getting ground up.
The new chipper seems like it has some good upgrades. I remember the Vermeer BC1000 or something that had a bump bar at opening of chipper. I hated that thing. The light would flash and had a button to push on the side to reset it.
As an engineer I agree with your choice given the two. Like how the Morbark "sneezes" it's chipping compared to the other. 😂 But after reading the comments, it should have been a 3-way test including a Bandit. The other things I hope you took into consideration are: running costs, maintenance costs, and replacement parts costs. Longevity and reliabilty are also big factors. Safety and ease of use - especially your demo of the multiposition feed bar was interesting. Was that color digital display cover plastic or metal? May want to replace the cover with a thick piece of Plexiglass so you can glance at stats without other distractions, like the locking cover. I was going to suggest same for the LCD display but that model was not selected. That said, I would prefer a display readout with just numbers like the LCD rather than a digital display of a needle and dials. Certain things need dials, like fuel and liquid levels, that's a given.
I didn't notice how to reverse the new chipper. A neat feature for future models would be an automatic speed control based on the log size. A sensor on the feed wheel arm could slow down the feed rate for larger logs.
I'm not sure what my favorite piece of equipment is the bucket truck that chipper the Avant either way hats off to you because that's what I'm aspiring to have one day I'm well on my way but not there yet
Just a simple request- just once on the Jake and Randy show, maybe post a full video, beginning to end. I find these super interesting and the banter between you guys makes it seem like youve been friends since childhood
Hey bro, love the videos been watching for awhile now. What camera set ups do you and the boys use while your working? And also do you have extra batteries that you have to swap out after awhile? Stay safe and much love from New Zealand brother!
Always enjoy your videos. Gotta have some humor. So how many years do you think you'd use that new chipper? Just wondering what the useful life expectancy is.
All those electronic components is a no for me. We have a 2019 18inch morbark with the 5.7 v8 gm. It works good after I bypassed the saftey switch on the anvil hood
Now that you’ve had video with Randy’s face blurred out now you need to bleep out his name every time it’s said!🤣🤣 “Hey! Thanks for watching today. We have a super tall fir to take down and helping me is BLEEP of BLEEP is the mandy!” Every time anyone says his name, BLEEP!!
Those are the "last chance" cables. God forbid you get pulled in to the chipper by a piece of brush, if you yank on one of those cables, they reverse the feed rollers
someone needs to teach Issac a little throttle finger finesse, too many times you hear his saw pinned and screaming and the chain isn't even against the wood, nothing's worse than the sound of a 2 stroke wide-open dry rev.
Small 2 stroke eng’s need high rpm cuz of the limited torque. So basically you kill an engine (wear it out) faster if you don’t keep the revs up. Lots of throttle on low revs cuz you have engaged too soon and try to force through makes for high pressure and excessive eng wear. (Plus you often have to back off and build revs and re-engage) So I favour engaging with high revs 😎
if i ever heard a chain saw that was obnoxious and loud, and hurt my ears,, its the one you used in this vid, it runs smooth and perfect , but man, do i HATE the noise of it. chippers,,,, i gues you wil have your mind made up even before you started comparing them, so i go with your gut feelings choice whise,, buy wat you like, and not wat i like and or recomend. keep the trees falling and the channel comming😉
A rental company local to me used to rent 6" and 12" Vermeer Chippers but stupid contractors would keep renting them and running material you were not supposed to run through them like creosote and pressure treated lumber and stuff with metal in it to save space in a dumpster. It would result in damage so the rental company got rid of the chippers. I wish the state would pull their business license when do they do stuff like that. It ruins it for the rest of us that intend to use the machine for it's intended use.
Can they hook you up with a remote-control since it doesn’t need the clutch engaged? Working with a nice 18” Bandit now that’s configured with the exhaust dumping in your face as you throttle down-so gross.
6 liter will drink more when not chipping hard, but if they are both the same price.....get the big boy. More cubic inch displacement will mean it can operate with less load on the engine. It will live longer with less wear on the internals of the engine IMHO

MSRP take 15 percent off that and you will be closer.
he probably makes more from UA-cam than his tree service. He has a ton of subscribers!
"Surely an $80,000 wood chipper can chop up fossilized logs, right?"
The depreciation for tax purposes likely makes the initial bite much smaller, plus you get the depreciation expense offsetting taxable income for years to come. And if you finance it, the interest is deductible too.
from his prices, one job per month is a normal average salery. (3k-5k). everything more is company expansion possibility or a better life. ;)

I liked the chipper comparison at the start of the video, fun change of pace for all the tree chopping.
It’s kind of interesting seeing these because I’ve never used a chipper other than a bandit
Excellent choice. I remember back to the Jetta days. Impressive dude.
That bottom rock trap release system is super brilliant. I love my Morbark13. Oldie but goodie

This is like watching Circus Circus. Excellent channel.
Issac does well 👍He shows happy. Nice
Great video! Enjoyed the beautiful day and y’all’s camaraderie and banter!❤❤❤
I wonder why the didnt offset the blades on the chip drum?!
The new chipper seems like it has some good upgrades. I remember the Vermeer BC1000 or something that had a bump bar at opening of chipper. I hated that thing. The light would flash and had a button to push on the side to reset it.
You should put out a how to book with all the different knots you use with how to make them and their uses
Jeff Jepson has already done that
Congrats on the new chipper 🎊🎈🎊😁 good luck 😁
Amazing machines! Hey! We permanently hang a 3ft piece of rope at the tip of the discharge to help move the chute.
Simply outrageous how the BVR16 eats. Thanks for the run-off.
no asphalt, no bucket truck. looks like a good job for Kevin :) Awesome machines!
what are the dangling yellow cables in the chute?
Dead men last hope. Seriously. If you fall in the hopper, pull on these, they will pull back the safety bar and this will put the feeder in reverse.

That was impressive that big chipper

Hello from Andorra!
I didn't notice how to reverse the new chipper. A neat feature for future models would be an automatic speed control based on the log size. A sensor on the feed wheel arm could slow down the feed rate for larger logs.
Reverse is just pushing forward on the bar, you can adjust auto feed system rpm ranges from wood, brush, mix or set your own
@@mikeday4383 Reverse is pretty intuitive, then.

For anyone working in an area that uses road salt those Morbarks corrode brutally especially through the bottom.
@treeson when do you decide to use a keyhole cut vs the standard notch and go, I don't see the keyhole being used much for controlled directions
Great videos man! What software do you use to edit your UA-cam videos?
Get your FMI guy a helmet and coms and a mic. Be cool to hear his shpeel on the chippers while you work
Now that's a good idea
All those electronic components is a no for me. We have a 2019 18inch morbark with the 5.7 v8 gm. It works good after I bypassed the saftey switch on the anvil hood
All the electronics are failure points but that new one almost feeds as fast as my Bandits

Only in america you can get a gas powered V8 tree chipper :) Here in europe all mid- to large size chippers are diesel powered...
They went that way to get rid of the DEF system.
Rekon longgevity in a chipper big thing. Not all when new' big money.
Gas engine in a chipper just doesn’t make sense to me. Like to know the fuel burn rate vs the two.
I agree although 20k more for a diesel is a lot more. I'm leaning towards a diesel when I get a chipper.
$3/gal vs $4.50/gal... Cost difference ads up quickly...
But, then again I drive a diesel truck. 🤣
They went that way to be able to get rid of the DEF system.
I'm curious what a comparable Vermeer would cost and what the weight would be also.
bandit 21xp for the win
The V8 seems to be quieter running then the 6 banger - you need to decide on V8 power vs 6cylinder power and which one does the job quicker
"During the day you roam around sawing trees and juggling between branches, and at night you transform into circus performers, right?"
I think Jake's mind was already made up before he started filming!!! 🙃😆
Aren’t there remotes you can get for your chipper ?
someone needs to teach Issac a little throttle finger finesse, too many times you hear his saw pinned and screaming and the chain isn't even against the wood, nothing's worse than the sound of a 2 stroke wide-open dry rev.
He learned from Jacob. 😉
Small 2 stroke eng’s need high rpm cuz of the limited torque. So basically you kill an engine (wear it out) faster if you don’t keep the revs up. Lots of throttle on low revs cuz you have engaged too soon and try to force through makes for high pressure and excessive eng wear.

Good choice! How do you feel about staying on the ground the whole video?! LOL
Can they hook you up with a remote-control since it doesn’t need the clutch engaged?
Working with a nice 18” Bandit now that’s configured with the exhaust dumping in your face as you throttle down-so gross.
I’m sure there’s a big difference in power and gph with the price of fuel
From a mechanic and a tree guy's pov.. I would DEFINITELY go with the 6.0.. also. Hire me
