When dropping a tree goes wrong.....RUN!
What happens here
On the next day, set up the Woodmaxx MX-9900SS wood chipper, attached to a Gehl RT210 skid steer. Ensure the skid steer's engine RPMs are at optimal chipping speed (around 2200 RPMs). Begin feeding the tree branches, leaves, and smaller limbs into the chipper's intake chute. Use the Stihl GTA 26 handheld chainsaw as needed to cut larger branches into manageable sizes before feeding them. The chipper's automatic feed system and safety bar help manage the process, pushing wood into the chipper blades or reversing if a jam occurs. The resulting wood chips can be blasted into a designated area, such as a pasture, to decompose.
Goal: Process tree branches into wood chips.
