-7 this morning and my yard is frozen and the power just went out. Happy Winter Solstice!

I put 32hr on the tractor this weekend. I was out all day Saturday and Saturday night, into Sunday most of the day burring a VERY large slash pile. Wet, half decayed material mixed with mud, snow, and nastyness. All I have is a tine bucket to move the mixed brush, needless to say, those tines needs some serious straightening, and I need a grapple bucket before I do the next pile.
But this one is now a large pile of smoldering ash! I'll have a video up soon (I hope)

The last two days I have been breaking in my new WoodMaxx MX9900 wood chipper (on my XR4150) Very happy with this purchase. Handled about everything I put in it and worked flawlessly. Nice, well built, American made machine.

Very nice chipper! I'm in the decision making process of either a chipper (probably not as fancy as the WoodMaxx MX9900 :licking:) or a grapple bucket. I'm leaning toward the bucket, but I can certainly use a chipper. I just cant afford both right now. :eek:

Ever look at the add-a-grapple? They make them for buckets and pallet forks. Seems like an economic solution.

^^ Maybe if you already have compatible hydraulics or electrics. Pretty sure I don't have either. Could have used one today to move some brush, but I made do with a tow strap.

You’ll want the grapple first-it makes chipping a much easier task. Pile the brush and limbs up with the grapple-switch over to the chipper at the pile and go to town!

Did you get a third function install on yours or you going to do that once you get the grapple?

One thing for sure-make yourself up a grill guard-that’s one of my winter projects-once I get done adding some additional wiring in the shop.

Here's how I upgraded mine. The pad eye is used when hauling it. I hook a big shackle to the pad eye and run the front chain thru it.

Finally froze up again, so did some more firewood skidding, cutting and stacking. Pic is of the best part, skidding the logs of firewood:cool:
