Read articles →This is a hands-on real-world test pairing an LS MT122 (22hp sub-compact) with a PTO-driven, 4-inch-rated wood chipper (branded Tool Barn, no serial number visible), run after about a week of ownership. It covers hookup via quick-hitch adapter, belt drive and auto-feeder operation, and actual chipping of green cedar limbs, including belt slippage issues and manual assistance needed when material exceeds 4 inches. Useful for buyers weighing whether this tractor's PTO can handle a small chipper.
Posted by the 123 DO IT channel, an owner sharing first-hand impressions from using his own tractor and implement.
Yes, after about a week of use the tractor has not stalled, though the chipper belts have slipped and stopped the chipper itself.
It feeds material automatically via a belt driven off the PTO shaft, with a release lever to disengage the drive wheel and pull material back out.
Limbs around 3 inches fed fine, but wider limbs near or over 4 inches, like a Y-shaped branch, would not pull through the auto feeder and needed cutting off first.
