A HUGE piece of metal accidentally gets into our Rotochopper B66 grinder and does major damage!! This was definitely an epic fail that unfortunately happened to our wood grinder. Sometimes you just can't see everything that is being fed into the chamber. We'll get this piece of equipment fixed and put her back to grinding wood soon though! Thanks so much for watching!

No matter how hard you try,or look after your machinery or how many precautions you take, how vigilant your operaters are these things happen,and when they do it can be soul destroying. When I watched the first minutesand you were showing us the damage that was done,I, like many others, felt for you, but with the good team you`ve built around you you bounce back and was soon up and running . Great credit to you all. 👍👍👍👍

When it comes to free wood products, Sometimes Free is too expensive.

We had a Bandit 4680XP Beast out on rent when a bowling ball size chunk of steel went through the machine! We had to replace the drum ,drum shaft and all the bearing blocks! I feel you pain!

@brimptonestateservices3317

What a positive attitude you all have to what isin effect a catatrophic event. Very well done in the dismantling. I look forward to the reassembly when the sun is shining.

Hell of a hunk of steel and it sure did do a lot of costly damage . Lovely working conditions , been there done that but in about 20 degree weather and the wind blowing about 30 m.p.h. , man I miss my job working for Union Pacific Railroad on my rail trains unloading and loading 1440 ft. strings of rail all over the states west of the Mississippi River .

@user-re8cf5fp5o

Sure hate to see the damage, but with the amount of equipment you have am sure you take it in stride. Thanks for a great video

@clarklindquist8137

Pure strength of your machine though. That's almost a trophy.

I guess I watched these out of order because I already saw the solution that A A Ron came up with to fix the power feed drum.

@kevinmurray7135

That’s was a lot of force to tear that iron and getting the shaft out hopefully it pops right out 🤞 it would be cool to see this machine in action i bet it eats some wood pretty fast but it’s probably louder than hell good video Mr Diggs 👍😎🇺🇸 NY

I was grinding yard waste loading it with a 6 yard wheel loader and there was a single skid steer fork in it the morbark 3800 stopped instantly and jumped off the ground luckily the torque limiter did it's job another common was trailer hitches and I've found metal blanks like that someone someone forgot in a wood create or on a pallet and was dumped into the wood roll off container and dumped at the site i prefer to use an excavator to feed better chance of catching contaminants

@jeremiahchmielowiec2696

I know the job alone sucked but the rain makes for a really long day

@bobcats905

Just a thought, could the jaws on the machine that feeds the chipper be magnetized to catch any metal from being put in the hopper. Just a thought from a 73 year old mechanic from 🇨🇦

@merlepatterson

You could probably make a metal anomaly detector out of wire and a large ring of pvc glued together (fairly cheap) to wave over a pile of brush and logs with an excavator before you feed it into the machine? I believe you may be able to buy one called a UPEX® 740 M on the open market as well?
