Overview
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.
