GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Deutscher Garden Chipper 750 was designed as a garden chipper that is capable of chipping palm fronds and
similar vegetation, but will also chip green hardwood branches to 65mm diameter, dry hardwood to 25mm diameter
and dry softwood to 50mm diameter. The chipper can be fitted with a Briggs and Stratton Intek 6.0 or a Honda GX200
engine. For ease of use, there is only one entry point for material on this machine. One of our primary design aims
was to produce a machine that self feeds with most materials. This reduces the time taken when chipping and also
improves operator safety, as it is less likely the operator will need to push material into the hopper.
The cutting device (rotor) of the Garden Chipper 750 is a 395mm diameter, 8mm thick steel disk with twin tool steel
chipper blades bolted to its surface. To eliminate the possibility of material wrapping around the drive shaft and
then causing premature bearing failure, both rotor bearings are mounted behind the disk. The chipper blades are
reversible to give twice the life, and they can be rotated in the field should they become blunt.
A clutch has been fitted to allow easy starting. Also the discharge chute can be locked in the raised position to
reduce storage space and enable access through gates and shed doors. For your safety, a switch is provided on
the discharge chute to prevent the machine being started with the chute raised.
