I STEPPED IN A BEES NEST ON CAMERA!! TRACTOR TALK, BIOFUEL ON THE FARM AND MORE!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The farmer explains how the wood chips are produced from "garbage wood" (branches, stumps, etc.) using a massive industrial wood chipper (Cone-Head CH585E) powered by a large diesel engine. He details the process: wood enters one side, is processed by internal blades, and then ejected as chips through a chute. He notes that these wood chips are also a source of "biofuel," shipped to Altavista, Virginia, to be converted into energy.

Goal: Explain the source and production of the wood chips.

Tools and materials

  • Industrial Wood Chipper — Processing raw wood into chips
  • Large Diesel Engine — Powering the wood chipper
  • Raw Wood — Material for chipping

of this stuff comes from man is hot out here guys in case you didn't know this is garbage wood this is the chipper is this garbage goes into that and turns it into that rad I'm so glad to be living in America where we can compost all right let me show you how this machine works it's got a great old big diesel engine the wood goes into this side and it comes out you'll insert some chipper blame here's our great big diesel engine and it shoots after their engines huge we shoot out that chute right there then right into the back the tractor trailers which limit if they're these woodchips our biofuel this is used in making biofuel it shifts up to Virginia place in Alta Vista I believe Alta Vista Virginia it's Southwest Virginia it's where this goes to make biofuels so right now trees that we're cutting on this farm are going in that chipper into here into chips and going to make biofuel that is awesome so
