Wood Chippers

We usually recommend going with the biggest chipper your tractor can handle. Start by checking the horsepower at your tractor’s PTO, then match it up with the compatible chipper models.

If your budget allows, go for the highest capacity chipper that works with your tractor's horsepower, ensuring your tractor can safely lift it. That way, you’ll be able to chip the largest material possible with the equipment you already have.

At the end of the day, the right chipper is the one that balances power, compatibility, and what you need it to handle.

Single flywheel chippers use one flywheel to both chip and throw material. That means it has to strike a balance between chipping power and airflow. It works well, but with light or leafy material, you may need to mix in heavier branches to keep it moving through the chip stream.

Our patended twin flywheel design separates the functions of chipping and throwing. One flywheel chips at the ideal speed for powerful chipping, while the second flywheel spins twice as fast to create strong airflow and throw chips farther. This allows it to handle light or leafy material more reliably, no mixing required.

Bottom line: twin flywheel means less prep, smoother operation, and better performance with all types of material.

Gas-powered wood chippers don’t need a tractor, so they’re more mobile. Many of our customers tow them behind an ATV to reach spots a tractor can’t or if they have multiple properties that the chipper will be used on. They’re great if you need flexibility and more mobility.

While gas chippers have great mobility, PTO-powered chippers typically offer more power. Running a chipper attached to your tractor means you'll have one less engine to maintain on your property. They often feature higher capacities because they're driven by your tractor's horsepower.

So the decision to choose gas or PTO power is mainly about deciding between mobility and cost, versus capacity and time saving. If you need help deciding, feel free to reach out to our customer service team and see what they suggest.

Our gravity-assist infeed system relies on the steep angle of the chute to naturally guide larger materials into the chipper, requiring you to push or assist some smaller material in. Once the material is engaged with the flywheel, the 3-blade design facilitates a smooth and consistent draw. However, the amount of effort needed to assist material in can vary depending on the type and size of what you're chipping.

On the other hand, our hydraulic infeed system features an infeed roller that actively grabs and pulls material into the chipper making for a very effiicent process. It also provides a consistent feeding action and allows all types of materials to be handled in the same way, regardless of shape, weight or size. Also featuring forward, netural and reverse feeding directions with variable speeds, this system is typically considered a superior feeding system over gravity-assist infeed systems.

Both systems are effective, and the choice often depends on budget, the types of material you expect to process most often as well as on how hands-on you'd like to be during material preparation before chipping, etc.

Many of our customers will use their wood chippers commercially, using them to chip material for their tree care businesses or to clean up neighboring properties to make some cash on the side.

We’re all for it. We love seeing our equipment help people grow their businesses and put their machines to work.

We design our chippers to be easy to use and easy to maintain. Like any machine, there are a few key things to keep an eye on:

• Bearings require regular greasing
• Belts and the bed plate should be checked and adjusted
• Blades will need sharpening or replacement over time

Your owner’s manual has a step-by-step guide, so be sure to follow that for the best results. Keeping up with routine maintenance will keep your chipper running like a champ.

Your chipper shows up mostly assembled, with just a few final steps left to get it ready. For most, it takes about two hours to finish the build.

Every step is clearly laid out in the manual, so setup’s pretty straightforward. We have invested alot of time in creating easy to follow manuals to ensure the instructions don't leave you scratching your head. Before you know it, you’ll be up and running and ready to chip.

Note: Your manual is included in the black tube on the machine and can also be viewed in PDF format here.
