GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE OF
THE CHIPPER
FARMI 260 is a disk chipper for tractor-mounted ope-
ration. As the chip size is adjustable, the chipper can
be used e.g. for the production of chips to be used
for landscaping or for bio energy. The chipper can be
used to chop trunks, twigs and tree tops as well as
chopping waste and saw mill waste. The chipper can
shred wood with a max. trunk diameter of 260 mm.
The FARMI 260 chipper is mounted to the 3-point hitch
of a tractor. It is driven by the tractor PTO. The driving
force is transferred to the chipper via the PTO drive
shaft. During chipping, the chipper rotor on which the
blades for cutting the material are mounted is driven
by the tractor. From the knives, the chips are fed to the
additional knives which cut the chips to the desired
size. Finally, the chips are discharged to the desired
position using a discharge pipe. Depending on the
feed unit used, the material to be cut is loaded into
the chipper manually or using a grab loader.
The FARMI 260 chipper must always be used together
with one of the following Farmi feed units:
Chipper and feed unit combinations for manual feed:
FARMI 260 + F260
FARMI 260 + HF231-HM EUR
FARMI 260 + HF260-EM
Chipper and feed unit combinations for grab loader
feed:
FARMI 260 + HF260-EL-0
FARMI 260 + HF260-EL-SM
FARMI 260 + HFC260
The FARMI 260 chipper must never be coupled to
other feed units. Moreover, the chipper must not be
used without a feed unit.
The F260 feed hopper is desc-
ribed in the instruction manual
of the feed units HF231-HM EUR
and HF260-EM. There is a separa-
te instruction manual for the feed
units intended for grab loader feed.
Before operating the chipper, please read all pertinent
instruction manuals. Store the instruction manuals of
the chipper and of the feed unit at the same place.
