Building trails with some awesome tools!
What happens here
Utilize the skid steer-mounted WoodMaxx MX9900SS wood chipper to process the felled trees and brush. Approach the chipper carefully, ensuring hands and feet are clear of the in-feed bin. Feed branches and small trunks (up to 9 inches in diameter) into the chipper. Direct the wood chips away from the working area using the adjustable discharge chute, ideally blowing them directly onto the newly cleared trail path. The chips will act as a natural mulch, stabilizing the soil and providing a soft walking surface. Remember to constantly monitor chip distribution and material feeding to avoid jams.
Goal: Process cleared brush into wood chips and create a mulched trail surface.
