Wow, that's super cool. I work there and see them built along with our more popular horizontal grinders every day. Any idea what model tub it was called?

This machine has 2,000Hp big difference.

@@robbybachmann8061 Aaron mentioned that it's powered by a Cat C32, which is listed as having a maximum output of 1350hp.

@@robbybachmann8061 Now, i am not sure how Scrap-board-production is messured, but if it is roughly equal to the german unit Schüttraummeter, then this machine performs worse than the Jenz. The Peterson only manages 499 m³, while the Jenz manages 540 m³. And with a smaller engine, the Jenz probably also uses less fuel.

I assumed it was just California trying to destroy civilization as usual, thank you for the explanation.

You only have one video over 45 minutes. Why aren't you doing the same?

Yup. "most fertile" valley in the US, but surely not fertile for long at this rate.

Used to operate one of these and the massive stumps and shit we put through it we would check the teeth on the rotor at smoko and end of shift, replace or rotate and tighten

Those trailers are built for that the neck is quick and easy to get off you can load them off level and when it's raining just have to plan for it

That's the thing. New Fendts don't sound like that.

Which one, live in California as well and know a few

can be several decades depending on crop

Depends on the crop but the usual cycle is 15-20 years

Depends on the tree but an orchard out there will normally go 25-30 years before they have to rip it out and start over. Once you replant then you have a 5-10 year wait for tree nuts before the orchard is productive again.

Almonds 15yrs+ Walnuts 30+ (market is weak, a lot are coming out) Grapes (???) Citrus 30+ Stone fruit 30+ Pistachios 50+

what you saw is likely forestry mastication, used to reduce (small diameter) tree density in forest stands that have not experienced the frequent, low intensity fires that they evolved with. Before mastication these stands probably had a high density of smaller trees from the lack of fire, which leads to increased danger for extreme fire events, as well as a general decrease in the health of the ecosystem.

Native Americans burned 10 million acres annually in california

Agreed, preferably loud enough to blow my speakers.

I’m here for the background music honestly

yes, the goberment are idiots.

without the regulations against crop burning the cost would be higher and for everyone in the form of increased healthcare cost, burning crops causes significantly more issue than the diesel used to run the machines and also damages the soil its pretty clear youve never had to deal with the air conditions that mass burning crops can spread into towns and cities. its the kind of conditions where you just dont leave the house for weeks, and if you have to leave then wearing a mask is mandatory otherwise youll end up choking

@@vincentgrinn2665govern me harder daddy 🐑

It’s pretty clear you have no clue who I am. Don’t assume. Kinda a pretty straight forward thing. Your gonna tell me burning debris is tied to healthcare cost? Wth are you talking about. That has nothing to do with healthcare cost. Healthcare cost are due to red tape around drug r&d, cost around drug r&d, Medicaid and medicare billed/charge rates , red tape for providers and provider entities, liability for said entities, rules and regulation, compliance with thousands of rules, regulations and mandates enacted by the government, overhead to comply with all of this. I could go on and on with this but I’m the one in this industry and you are not. Keep thinking its because we are burning tree waste while we mine rare earth minerals and shipping it all over the world to make your electric car or increasing power plant output to charge your EV or better yet regulate all the water in California so farmers can’t use it but complain about high food cost. It’s all full circle and comes back to over regulation passes on increased cost to consumers. Period.

@@jaycweingardt11 the cost to healthcare that crop burning causes is far more than the cost of the machines, 18,000 people die from crop burning smog in america every year, and it isnt just the middle of nowhere, that smog moves hundreds of miles and its severe too, like you cant go outside without a mask otherwise youll choke kind of bad

Yes almond orchards are the same process, gps was probably only on the Fendt

you can put a bunch of chicks in it and make them gay

Disconnecting the neck takes me about 2 minutes total so that’s not where I see the benefit. When you are picking equipment up off-road, the trailer tends to sink into the mud when loading unless you put blocking down, which can make it difficult to hook the trailer back up. Also helps where there is limited access, you would need room for machine to get around truck or trailer to load so backing right up to machine is helpful. Lastly, you should use mats or plywood when tracking over asphalt so this could limit the need for that considerably.

@@Treehandler thank you 👍

Takes less yard space for loading.

If you think a fire could do more than a 1000 horse power grinder and could do it cleaner your new

We have loads of that, and burn wood from home demolitions. However the wood chips are great for the soil.

I used to take my urban wood to a local power plant for free. Now they charge $25 a ton and have a lot of restrictions. There is so much free wood being generated from the 100 million dead trees in the forest that there is way more than the power plants can burn. Plus even if they could it is cheaper to burn natural gas to generate energy than run a wood burning operation.

Nah

They need it for the bigger walnut trees, these tree were citrus so not as big

It kinda depends of the depth, quantity and quality I think. If it's high C/N wood, from trunks and old branches, tilling it in further than 4 inches leads to anaerobic conditions, the wood doesn't decompose at all, turns hard and grey, etc... Especially in low humidity conditions. And nitrogen hunger on top of it as you mentioned, that can go on for a looong time. Not a fan of this method either.

You must be the clown to ASSUME anything. LOL 😂

Seems like they knew what they were doing. I’m assuming you’re not running millions of dollars worth of equipment. If it was bad they wouldn’t be doing it. It’s also what the trailer is designed for

Almond trees are naturally short lived, they are not perfectly healthy when taken down. The trees are routinely trimmed to keep them healthy and keep yields high.

It’s all about making money, why farm an older block of trees and barely break even. For farmers it’s about the best yield and coming off with a profit

Yeah you definitely know better than they do.

@@maxmyers1554 been running wood grinders for 10 years so yeah prob do

The wood chips are excellent for the soil. They soften heavy clay and also support mycorrhizal growth. It's not zero gain when you're growing trees for decades vs corn/soy/wheat for months.

They have always been about 10 min

They used to be 15

Not everybody wants to watch 45 minute KZfaq vids. I feel like KZfaq vids are getting way too long

Now in terms of carbon - with fossil fuels you take carbon from underground and move it to the air. Trees take carbon from the air and wood is mostly carbon. Burying that carbon back in the soil sends it back where it came from. It's also not a few days, it's a few hours. The wood chips do wonders for the soil and that has made California the state with the most agriculture output.

The difference is that the dirt and chip particles are heavier so they will eventually fall back to earth; smoke is much lighter so it just stays airborne.

@@Duvstep910 several million dollars in equipment to clear land, only in commifornia.

I agree, but they are using the chips as compost, it's better for the soil in the long run.

I misunderstood your comment, dirt particles are heavy and sink to the ground, so while the immediate area is affected, smog isn't a factor here.

@@godsdozerdon’t forget the contractors who were forced to upgrade and replace their millions of dollars in equipment to the new engines to meet the commies CC Agenda of carbon emissions reduction which has destroyed the horse power and ROI of their construction equipment. Many contractors left the state or just folded their family owned companies and retired.

The wood chips do wonders for the heavy clay soil as they decompose they soften it up and promote mycorrhizal growth.

"Is it really more eco friendly " Perhaps you've never breathed in wood fire smoke?

this is less about being eco friendly and more about being health friendly as the guy in the video said. This area is a valley so any smoke produced tends to just sit there for a long time causing respiratory problems for lots of people

@@alexanderSydneyOz I grew up in a home that burned wood and coal. I will take wood over coal soot anyday.

Wood chips are great for the soil and a big part of what made California the agriculture capital of the US. Those diesel engines don't run long enough to burn thousands of gallons, they get it done fast.

@@aminy23 Fuel Consumption of the C32 engine. The engine that's in the chipper. This is not including the other plant on site. 100% load with fan - L/hr (gal/hr) 262.7 (69.4) 262.7 (69.4) 238.6 (63.0) 217.9 (57.6) 75% load with fan - L/hr (gal/hr) 195.9 (51.7) 195.9 (51.7) 179.2 (47.3) 164.8 (43.5) 50% load with fan - L/hr (gal/hr) 135.9 (35.9) 135.9 (35.9) 125.8 (33.2) 117.2 (31.0) 25% load with fan - L/hr (gal/hr) 80.8 (21.3) 80.8 (21.3) 75.9 (20.0) 71.4 (18.9) So yeah it does use 1000s of gallons of diesel if used at 100% over an 8 hour day. Which it will be inorder to chomp through the trees they were feeding it. Even at 25% it uses 21.3 gallons of fuel per hour!! So you might wanna check some facts before commenting. I'm not disagreeing that chippings aren't good for the soil. I was just struggling to get my head around the can't burn the timber because of the particulates it would put in the air but the Californian gov are happy for a massive diesel guzzling engine to put particulates in the air. Wood burns damn cleaner than diesel that's for sure.
