This heavy-duty 12-inch branch chipper delivers exceptional performance for demanding tree care and land clearing operations. Powered by a Tier 4 Final diesel engine available in 49-hp or 74-hp (36.4-kW or 55-kW) configurations, it efficiently processes material up to 12 inches (30.5 cm) in diameter. The precision-balanced drum with two A8 double-sided knives ensures consistent chip quality, while the 25-gallon (94.6 L) fuel tank maximizes productivity with fewer refueling stops. Enhanced operator safety features include the patented bottom feed stop bar and four-position upper feed control bar with dual stop positions.
