Another in depth description of the wood chipper. Farm equipment should hire you to demonstrate all the implements they sell. Well done GP. Later

no dis on GP Outdoors but I had a Wallenstein chipper ( maybe 3 years) very similar if not the same unit as this Beco I upgraded to a Woodland Mills WC 68 self feeder. The difference was night and day. IMHO do not waist time or money on one of these gravity feed chippers. I chip a lot of Rhododendron and Pine,w/ needles. The WM WC 68 has not failed me yet 1 year later. I run it on a Kubota B7800 which is a little under powered but still works fine. Thank you GPO for posting.

Great video GP. You did a great job reviewing the chipper. You definitely don’t want to damage your tractor over limbs. Like you said check with kubota on the shear bolts. Safe than sorry. Have a great weekend

Nice chipper GP. I have basically the same unit from Betstco/FHM for my L2501, and I love it. One of my favorite attachments for sure. Chips are excellent for the mulch and pathways and it’s great to return that organic material to feed the soil as opposed to polluting the air by burning it. For the price I paid it’s a no brainer. Keep the videos coming!

The lower capacity will only keep the chipper in better shape for a longer time. I think 22-25 might be a sweet spot but that is so much more tractor. Great video

I just found your "chipper" performance video....extremely helpful in my evaluation and decision which model to consider. Many thanks.

Great video of the chipper. Looks like a good unit for you. As always looking forward to your next video!

The nice thing about hydraulic in-feed is that it senses when the cutter slows down and stops the material from moving towards the knives. The bad thing is that it is additional cost and something else to break, sometimes simplicity is best. I am of the same mind, firewood for all the big pieces.

Great video, GP. The chipper did its thing really well. Yep, the 3" wood goes on the fire pit. I like the size of those chips. That chipper does meet your needs so ....buy it! So you see how easily I spent your money, huh? (chuckle). Again, great video, GP and have a fine Friday and upcoming weekend. Stay safe..

Wait -- in Canada you can test drive these things?? Ah, it's just for you to do the commercial. I get it. Thanks for the clarity on checking out the pto HP. My tractor itself is only 15 so goodness knows how feeble the pto is!

Extremely well reviewed GP. I've never even thought about a chipper for my L3301, however, after having watched, I can now see some good usage for one around here and I'll definitely check out the Beco unit based on your reviews.

Ya your right...anything 4" and up is great for firewood....no waste.....thanx.

Your right , the chipper didn't have the momentum on the chipper ( like a flywheel) from the lower pto hp. That's would be ok with me . A few shear bolts to protect the chipper.

I was surprised that you were breaking the shear bolts but then when you said you changed it to a grade 2 that explained it. A grade 2 bolt is probably not a bad idea though. I'm like you anything over 3'' is firewood. I do like a large opening on the chipper though, if you run into a piece that is crooked the opening comes in handy.

You did a great job showing what it could do on video ! nice work it looks like now you have to buy it ! LOL but it did a great job chipping them up and worked nice with you little dump wagon and we burn even the 1 and 2" stuff it all makes heat but it nice you can chip it when you cant burn the piles of brush ! we are looking for one of them too ! have a great up coming weekend !! Kioti Curt ! :-)

I have one just like it. Great video. What I did to mine is weld a hitch on the back to pull the trailer with. If I keep the chipper above the ground a little I can keep the trailer hooked up and just blow stright in, or I unhook and drive beside to fill

Awesome video

I'm adding this to my wish list.

Hydraulic feed much smoother preventing the jerking feeding which IMO was causing your shear bolt to fail.

G P looks like ver good unit we don't have much use for a chipper we have DR it does a fair job on fresh cut wood but old dry it tonight it's on my vacuum for lawn has 8 hp motor don't use it much Keep the good vedios comming God Bless PaK

Will go with a woodland WC46 looks much smoother and has adjustable feed speed. 2600 bucks.....

I'm waiting to hear back on a wc1504 Land Pride wood chipper right now and I'm with you there anything bigger than 3-inch go on the firewood pile smart

Good morning GP kinda hard to underestimate those Kubotas their pne tuff machine

Nicely done, wherever your part of central Ontario is. Looks like you are living my dream.

I have the same chipper on a 35hp tractor. Cutting anything over 3 inches is hit and miss with the grade 2 shear bolt. Have you tried a grade 5 shear bolt?

What type of helmet is that with hearing protection added to it. I like that it is all self contained.

Nice Video. I'm learning alot about Youtubin from you. Thanks

Actually your better off buying an outdoor wood burning furnace that heats water and pumps the hot water inside the house to heat it. Inside you mount an 80 gallon gallon hot water tank without any heating apparatus to store domestic hot water thermostatically controlled. 10-15 cords of wood will heat you house and burning chips or dead wood standing or laying on the ground will provide all the heat you’ll need. In the summer one feeding a day will provide all the domestic hot water you’ll need. 6 to 8 pieces of wood is all you will need. Food for thought.

I prefer to burn my brush. It is a lot of work feeding that machine. and if I need mulch I'll go to walmart. enjoy your videos!

Great video!

Dump the wood chips outside the house to use as fuel for the wood stove.a 5 gallon bucket and a small coal scoop will easily feed the stove

Hey Gord the video looks great !, as you have mentioned in your video we do replace the shear bolt that is supplied by BECO with a lighter grade 2 bolt. We do this to provide added protection to our customers that are operating these chippers on compact and sub-compact tractors that have lighter drive line components. We leave it to the individual customers discretion if they would like to change it back to the heavier grade 5 shear bolt. For more information on this unit and other items we sell please visit us at www.FarmerEquipmentSales.com or www.TractorImplemets.ca all of our items are available for pick up in Shelburne Ontario or delivery across Canada. Thanks again Gord for your honest review and interest in our products !, Kevin & Dave Farmer

Great videos GP, I enjoy them in the mornings with a cup of coffee. I have a BX62 chipper for 6" branches although like you anything 4" up I burn. I have 38hp to the pto and it has grade 5 shear bolt, and not chipping anything near 6" I am changing shear bolts about as much as I am chipping. It is quite frustrating but haven't been able to come up with a fix.

how often do you change the knives on your chipper?

Found it!

Can you feed whole branches through it without having to cut them all apart and creating more work ?

Well made video.

Are you putting the chips around your house for weed control? Really enjoy your videos, wish I was your neighbor, I'd enjoy having a cup of coffee with you.

Seasoned wood like that chips way harder. I don't understand your reasoning about reaching the limits of your tractor, if your tractor is breaking shear pins, it has plenty of power. The implement is protecting itself and your tractor's pto geartrain from the power of the engine. I thing the hydraulic feed is nice for regulating the infeed so it mat be less likely to shear a pin and/or stall the tractor when chopping through a bifurcation like that. The self feeders also pull harder because they have to feed at an angle in order to pull the branches with the knives. This means you're cutting across a wider surface of the wood. Hydro feed can go straight in and I think can also make finer chips. Finest chips I've seen were from a Befco chipper($8500). Seems like too much money to me. It was actually a drum type with two speed belt driven feed and 6" capacity. I have a 18hp DR chipper ($350-$400 investment) that chips very fine on all but the very small twigs smaller than the gap between the bed plate and knifes; it kind of just sucks them through. BTW, if you want finer chips, see if you can adjust that bed plate a little closer and get a good sharp grind on the knives.

Hi GP! Have you found the absence of a hydraulic feed system on your chipper to be a hindrance? I’m thinking of getting a chipper; I suspect that self-feeding machines are less expensive and easier to maintain than ones with hydraulic feed system.

What did you do with the kill switch under the seat of the tractor? Thanks!

If the shear bolt shears on an under 20 hp PTO then its pointless using a 30 HP [to tractor for 4 inches as the shear pins wont handle the extra torque

i don't want to be critical but you kind of act like you're afraid of this piece of equipment. you put the logs in and then step away like something is going to fly out and hit you. it is fine to hold on to the log as you push it into the machine obviously letting go when you get close to the guard opening. also, one of the reasons you may be breaking shear bolts is that when the log bounces up and down in the machine, each time it contacts the flywheel, it is putting instant strain/torque against the drive line of the machine. if you hold on to the log and push it through in a slow and steady manner, i think you might not break as many bolts. these machines are safe so long as you don't put your hand/arm into the feed shoot itself.

GP go check out Paul & Kathy Short’s specialities repair KZfaq channel and watch his mod ‘s on Kabota tractors. Love your information on the chipper.....

How much does the chipper you have cost?

How much is the cost of that chipper? thank you

Those wood ship would burn nicely in mi rocket stove

Forgot , and protect the tractor pto.

tractors not bogging down you have more power you aren`t using. The sheer bolts need to be upgraded
