Tractor PTO Driven Wood Chipper BX42: Affordable Wood Shredder for Forest and Garden

Overview

Introduction BX42R PTO drive wood chipper was specifically designed for sub-compact tractors with 15-30HP at the PTO. Featuring a hydraulic infeed system, the BX42R is capable of chipping up to 4” (10cm) diameter material. The BX42R is a good fit for customers with sub compact tractors that feature the following: 1) Rear PTO that spins at 540RPM 2) 15-30HP at the PTO 3) Ability to lift 727lbs (330kgs) at the 3 point hitch system

Capacity The BX42R operates on tractors with 15-30 HP at the PTO. It utilizes a large 19” x 18.5” (48cm x 47cm) infeed hopper opening that tapers down to a 4” x 6” (10 cm x 15 cm) opening where the 5.25” (13cm) diameter hydraulically driven infeed roller grabs the branches and feeds them through the chipper. Branches as small as ?”(6mm) diameter and as large as 4” (10 cm) diameter can be fed through the BX42R. To chip full 4” (10cm) diameter logs at full infeed speed, tractors with over 20 HP at the PTO is required.

Hydraulic Infeed System

Branches are pulled into the BX42R via the 5.25” (13cm) diameter infeed roller. The roller is hydraulically driven via the
chippers self contained hydraulic system. 
The roller is adjustable in direction and speed making it easy to feed branches of all shapes and sizes. 
The hydraulic pump is belt driven from the main flywheel shaft. 
The roller down pressure may be adjusted via the two large
springs ensuring it grabs branches and easily pulls them in, eliminating the need for manual feeding.

Folding Infeed Chute

The infeed chute on the BX42R wood chipper has a 19” x 18.5” (48cm x 47cm) opening to feed branches into. The infeed chute can
also be folded up which decreases the footprint of the chipper during storage or transport.

Infeed Opening

The opening in the flywheel housing is 4” x 6” (10cm x 15cm) square making it capable of accept branches with several limbs.

Discharge Chute

The discharge chute was designed to rotate 360 degrees by simply rotating it with two handles to the desired angle. This makes it
possible to direct the wood chips in any direction regardless of the location of the chipper. 
The end of the chute stands at 66” (1.7m) off of the ground, 
making it quite easy to direct the wood chips into the back of a truck or trailer if desired.
Located at the end of the discharge chute is a rotating deflector, 
which allows further control of the location of the wood chips.
Simply point it straight for maximum distance or angled down to deflect the chips directly to the ground or a trailer.
