Chipping Operation

00901

Fig. 26 –

Chipper Feed Hopper

1.

Engage the PTO. Set tractor at half throttle. Make sure the
rotor is up to speed before beginning.

2.

Slowly slide material into the chipper. Do not force the
material. The material is drawn in as it engages.

00902

Fig. 27 –

Chipping wood

3.

Make sure the wood chip pile is contained and does not
affect the immediate work area.

Tip: Be aware of the size and shape of the material.

Delimb large branches. Crotchety, curved branches
can move in unpredictable ways. Large curved
pieces should be cut to smaller straighter sections.

Hold small diameter branches / limbs together in a
bundle and feed in together.

Place short branches on top of longer ones, to avoid
reaching into the hopper.
