Testing the Woodmaxx skid steer front mount wood chipper
What happens here
The host, Josh from Stoney Ridge Farmer, introduces the purpose of the activity – turning brush into usable wood chips for regenerative farming. He highlights the WoodMaxx MX9900SS wood chipper, specifically designed for skid steers, and the Gehl RT210 skid steer it's attached to. Key features of the skid steer, such as its ideal track system that auto-tensions the tracks, are pointed out. For the wood chipper, the internal hydraulic motor that runs the auto-feeder for the 9-inch intake is shown, along with a crucial 'Push to Stop' safety bar that reverses the feed. The adjustable speed control for the forward and reverse feeding mechanism is demonstrated, emphasizing its importance for safety and preventing clogging. The internal components, including the heavy blade wheel, are also discussed, noting that one hydraulic motor powers the chipping blades while another controls the feeder.
Goal: The video begins by introducing the primary equipment: a WoodMaxx MX9900SS wood chipper mounted on a Gehl RT210 skid steer, highlighting its features and initial capabilities for processing brush.
