Observe Timber Harvesting and Chipping Process

processing area right here we're looking at property line um to the left is my property line and directly behind us is the uh upper barrier of my property line and this is the field that we're uh clearing off and this used to be field and used to have tobacco on it uh years ago and you could still see where the plow marks were uh before we cut it B basically they just overgrew and that's another view right there of how pretty this place is going to be um we'll cruise over to the right hand side here and show you where the uh Lumber processing area is and we'll uh take a quick look at the chipper machine so let's get over here to the right basically my house is at about 3:00 right here and we may end up building our home on the top of this Ridge so that we can have a pretty awesome uh view what you can't see is the the really cool view from right there and we'll take you through on the Vlog and show you building the house we're going to build several cabins here on the property for folks to come and stay I think that'd be really awesome for folks to have a farm stay area they could come and stay right here is the wood shipper this machine we can it can take uh logs up to I I think 14 in something to that nature and it will just chip right through them uh this this machine with the arm picks up the trees and places them on a chain drive system and it pulls them through the chipper and the chipper right here it just chews right through the uh through the old brush and and doing this it helps to clean up the land because nothing really goes to waste and I'm really really a big fan of that here on the Stony Ridge Farm we don't want things to go to waste so this is a awesome awesome thing to have this uh chipper chips the wood it goes into this trailer and is hauled up to uh place in Southern Virginia that is a biofuel energy plant so all this uh wood chip debris goes right into biofuel so it's really awesome that it doesn't go to waste check out these big big logs here here that are going through the reason these logs are going into the chipper is because they just don't cut the mustard to be used as pulpwood or as logs for uh Milling they're just not big enough they're not straight enough they're they're pretty rough so look at the chips blowing out of that thing it's just super duper awesome to watch that thing just chews through the trees so getting a low battery warning
