Features & Benefits

Fixed infeed table

The fixed infeed table design and oversized infeed opening gives the operator improved performance and durability when mechanically feeding.

Dual offset horizontal feed rollers

Dual offset horizontal feed rollers lessens the need for the operator to manually control the machine when feeding large-diameter logs.

Winch option

When equipped with the winch option, the winch can be operated with or without the boom in place, which is easily removed with just six bolts. When removed it allows the operator to mechanically feed the chipper, without the winch structure interfering with the loading process.
