FEATURES
A large vertically oriented hopper, a precisely-angled heavy-duty chipping knife, and a powerful air channel work together to pull branches into the chipping hopper and blast wood chips out the discharge. Most materials will self-feed, so once you drop a branch in, you're free to get the next one. No force feeding required!
The big opening for branches (19" x 30.5") accepts 5.75" branches with little or no trimming of side branches.
Add the optional road tow package and you can easily tow your Chipper on roads at speeds up to 45mph.
The commercial-grade centrifugal clutch on the PRO XL575 Chipper is similar to those used in well drilling. There is no load on the engine until it reaches 1,600 rpm. If you do manage to find a branch tough enough to slow the engine to 1,600 rpm, the clutch will automatically disengage the engine until it's back up to speed.
The key to efficient wood chipping is the rotating mass created by the flywheel on which the chipper knife is mounted. The PRO XL575 Self-Feeding model features a 20" diameter flywheel that weighs a hefty 62.5 pounds. It spins at 144 mph and takes an amazing 40 "bites" per second!
Made of high-carbon/high-chromium forged alloy tool steel, our knives hold an edge longer than those on "bargain" chippers. Still, as with any cutting tool, keeping a sharp edge is important for maintaining peak performance. We recommend keeping an extra on hand so you can minimize downtime.
