Chipping Capacity
This 4090 chipper has been designed to chip brush and branches up
to 4” in diameter. Brush and branches must be cut to the appropriate
length to ensure the chipper processes the material properly. Brush
and branch material will vary due to the ambient temperature, type of
wood, moisture content, and the age of material since felling.
Overloading the will cause premature blade and belt wear and in
certain cases, bearing and engine damage can occur.
Cut the following size branches to the following lengths to ensure
chipper operation, and operator safety:
1.
2” Branches / Brush = 12 Feet. This diameter can be easily
chipped without loss of rotor inertia. Keep branches and brush
under 16” feet for ease of mobility and safe loading.
2.
3” Branches / Brush = 6 Feet. This diameter takes medium
power and will cause the rotor to lose inertia when chipping
lengths over 6 feet. Keep 3” diameter branches and brush
under 6 feet for operator mobility and safety when loading.
3.
4” Branches / Brush = 3 Feet. This diameter takes maximum
power and will cause the rotor to lose inertia when chipping
lengths over 4 feet. Keep 4” diameter branches and brush
under 4 feet for operator mobility and safety when loading.
When chipping any branches / brush, the operator must be constantly
vigilant of the chipping operation. If the operator notices the chipper
losing rotor inertia, the material must be removed so the chipper can
regain RPM’s and rotor inertia. Full instructions can be found on page
