Testing the Woodmaxx skid steer front mount wood chipper

What happens here

After chipping, the host showcases the uniform, fine wood chips produced by the WoodMaxx chipper. He emphasizes that these chips are valuable carbon for building soil health in pastures. The chipper's adjustable chute allows for direct dispersal of chips onto the field, covering bare spots, or into the back of a truck for transport to specific locations. The chips will naturally decompose over a few years, adding organic matter and nutrients to the soil, contributing to the farm's regenerative goals.

Goal: The fine wood chips produced by the chipper are spread across the land to enrich the soil with carbon, supporting regenerative agriculture practices.

all I can say is wow an absolutely amazing piece of equipment here super glad I bought it we're going to walk around I'm going to show you the chips that it put out you guys got to see it at work here literally this took me all of about 10 minutes this machine is really something that we're going to be utilizing to help build our pastures in other words we need carbon out in our soil and this is nothing but good carbon okay so that's soil building carbon you can see what kind of chips this thing puts out you know it's brand new uh and it's putting out tiny chips like this this is something that will actually be chipping up some White Oak and we'll be utilizing that in a smoker build that I'm getting ready to do too so we're actually going to be making our own wood chips for our own wood chip smoker that should be pretty cool so that's the wood Max the only real question that I have for this thing is uh or thought process that I have make sure your shoot is pointed away from the operator station in other words it could be pointed this way and when we get ready to ingra egress in and out of the skid loader here you don't want that pointed towards you with this running at all it takes it about a minute and a half maybe two minutes to idle all the way down once you turn it off I do suggest always pointing that away from you this is also important because we can utilize that to blow chips into the back of a truck in case we're in a place where we can't blow them out into the pasture or we're cutting up firewood or something like that we can always blow the chips into the back of the truck take that and dump it onto a bar spot on the farm takes those chips a few years to rot down and turn into soil and that soil is what we're building the farm with here on the Stony Ridge so that is the wood Max MX 9900 SS that's your first look at it we've got a lot of firewood content to come and I'm going to take this back in the woods I'm going to start building some trails with it in
