I agree. For the application of chipping (not grinding) urban wood waste "not whole trees like loggers", I have not found another machine that can handle the wide range of tough material, especially shorter, wider wood. The one video of the monster crotch wood getting chipped really shows just how effective this set up is. The only down side is the knives are very susceptible to damage from metal but that's true for any chipper I suppose. The nice thing is you can service the effected smaller knives vs having to replace a giant knife if one section of it takes damage.

Brand new or freshly sharpened knives will do that. When a machine rejects infeed or bogs down constantly, it’s usually a question of maintenance.

I spliced the footage out of order so you'll see the trucks being loaded in random sequence

I hear ya but drones don't have any audio unfortunately

The yard was kind of a disaster and disorganized at that time making every other machine inaccessible. The knuckle boom is great at picking logs out of piles but the downside is it's hard to get more than 1 or two at a time, especially when the logs are just chaotically piled. The grapple only puts pressure to hold the biggest log and smaller ones fall out if you try. Using the log loader keeps the material clean vs using a loader with a bucket that inevitably grabs dirt and debris too
