Mrs. Stoney Ridge wrenching the PTO Wood Chipper....broke my last sheer pin!!

What happens here

The feeder hopper, a critical component for safely feeding wood into the chipper, is installed. The presenter explains that the hopper secures to the chipper body using two bolts. He highlights that the hopper is heavy, estimated to be around 80 pounds, and notes a slight bend in one of the attachment points might make fitting challenging. Precision in guiding the bolts through the holes is essential for a secure fit.

Goal: Attach the wood feeding hopper to the chipper's main body.
