I pulled the mower apart and found what’s causing the issue.

Our Pole Barn Build in a 10 Minute Timelapse

We built a 40′ x 80′ x 16′ pole barn with a 4″ concrete pad on the property to use as a shop and RV cover. This video shows it from start to finish in 10 minutes.

The pole barn was built by a small building company in Central Texas and cost us about $45,000 total including the pad. That did not include the wiring and lights, but pretty much everything else in the video.

Our pole building is not planned to be a house or barndominium home. The foundation is more of just a concrete pad than a load bearing foundation. That’s pretty common for pole barns.

A pole barn is one of the easier type of barn builds. I was going to do it myself, but after adding it all up for materials and concrete it came very close to what I could just pay someone to do it for me. It would have taken me a lot longer to build also by myself.

Pole barns are basically just post and beam buildings. You put posts in the ground and you use trusses to connect the roof. The wood purlins are there to hold on the sheet metal and that is about it.

How good are these Chinese wood chippers?

Chinese 3pt PTO Wood Chipper Assembly and Test

I ordered a 3 point pto wood chipper / mulcher online to chip up some cedar I had on a few acres. I looked around and most of the lower priced, and even most of the higher priced chippers were all from china and all pretty much the same chippers with different stickers on them.

I ended up getting an 8 inch chipper so I was not just chipping limbs and small branches. Overall it was great. The assembly was a pain and the instructions I could find were horrible, but I assume most people could assemble it without the instructions anyway.

I chipped all of my cedar except for the stumps and it did great. Sadly, I did not take videos of the cedar chipping. I was in a hurry to get it done and completely forgot. I added some test footage through so you can see it run and chip.
