Eye protection

Also, I wonder if there's any modifications that could be done to the machine to help with the dust? Length of pipe? Blower fan? Rubber flap? etc

I think the only mod that would work would be an extractor which on a mobile unit is not going to work easily.

 

You could try fitting flaps but once you get going the pile grows & the wind whips around the machine in all directions picking it up from underneath as well as the stuff as it cuts.

 

Its like trying to stay out of the smoke at a BBQ / bonfire.

 

Having effective helpers clear the pile often does help but even with two helpers on the last job they could not keep me fed with lengths, take away the splits & clear the pile.

 

Mainly due to the lengths not being placed on runners so once part way into the stack moving the lengths forwards was a pain for them.

 

Why do delivery drivers never put log runners down before unloading?

On less windy days its not a problem at all.

 

The chips are thrown away from the operator & I dont need any extra protection.
