Testing the Woodmaxx skid steer front mount wood chipper

What happens here

The skid steer is positioned with the chipper firmly on the ground. The host enters the cab and starts the Gehl RT210 skid steer. The hydraulic system for the chipper is then engaged using a joystick control inside the cab. To prevent damage to the hydraulics or belts, the RPM is gradually increased. The host visually confirms the operating speed of 1200 RPM on both the skid steer's display and the chipper's magnetic tachometer/hour meter. Once the desired RPM is reached, the chipper is ready for use.

Goal: This step involves starting the skid steer, engaging its hydraulic system, and carefully bringing the chipper attachment up to its optimal operating speed.
