Read articles →This is a hands-on, week-long test of a PTO wood chipper (a lesser-known Tool Barn brand) run off a 22hp LS MT122 sub compact, not a dealer walkaround. Tyler shows the quick-hitch setup, belt-driven auto-feeder mechanics, and actual chipping of green cedar limbs up to 4 inches, noting belt slippage issues and feeder limitations. Useful for MT122 owners considering a PTO chipper on a small tractor.
Posted by Tyler, an owner testing his own equipment and sharing candid, unpolished impressions rather than a sales pitch.
Yes, after about a week of use the tractor has not stalled, though the chipper itself has stopped, which slips the belts.
Belt slippage slows the chipper and reduces discharge, and the auto feeder disengages on limbs over four inches or green, wet bark.
It attaches to the PTO shaft off the back of the tractor using a quick hitch adapter, lifting by two side pins and a top pin.
