MACHINE COMPONENTS
The TMG 3 Point Hitch Wood Chipper is a rotor with blades for chipping wood. A hinged feed hopper moves
the wood material into the rotor. Each rotor is designed with 4 blades and a twig-breaker to generate the
small pieces of wood. A stationary knife at the rear of the rotor housing is placed by the moving knives to
shear, chip or chop the material.
The tractor provides rotational power through a PTO shaft on the front of the frame.
This drive system is contained in the front frame.
