Product Features
PATENTED TWIN FLYWHEEL TECHNOLOGY
Chipping and throwing are the two primary functions of a wood chipper. With two flywheels, we’ve been able to optimize the speed of each specific function. The chipping flywheel spins at just over 540 RPM, allowing it to chip larger material faster with less HP. The secondary flywheel spins over 1080 RPM, letting it throw materials out faster and farther. This also significantly increases the air flow, which helps carry difficult lightweight, wet, leafy, and coniferous material smoothly through the chip stream, reducing potential build-up.
GRAVITY-ASSIST INFEED SYSTEM
The TFG55 PTO features a gravity-assist infeed system which uniquely combines a steep infeed chute angle with a 3-blade twin flywheel design, creating a steady and predictable infeed action, far superior to gravity alone. This natural material draw provides smoother, more consistent, and safer feeding. The system also optimizes infeed speed, ensuring efficient use of engine horsepower.
CAPACITY
The TFG55 PTO operates on tractors with 12 to 30 HP at the PTO. It has a large 27” x 17” (69 cm x 43 cm) infeed opening that features a solid ¾” thick steel bar around the perimeter to provide a nice soft leading edge for branches as they try and make their way down into the chute to the 5” x 5” (13 cm x 13 cm) infeed opening. Material as small as 1/4” (6 mm) diameter and as large as 5" (13 cm) diameter can be fed through the TF55 PTO.
SIDE-HINGED INFEED CHUTE
The infeed chute is side-hinged and secured by a single latch with a safety catch. The latch can be released to swing the infeed chute wide open, providing access to inspect the blades, to set the bed plate, and perform maintenance as required.
EASY-ACCESS CLAMSHELL DESIGN
The TFG55 PTO features a convenient clamshell design secured by a single latch with a safety catch. When opened, the clamshell rests securely on the tire, offering full access to the flywheel and chipping blades for quick and easy maintenance.
ROTATABLE DISCHARGE CHUTE
The discharge chute on the TFG55 PTO rotates 360 degrees in 90-degree increments, allowing you to direct wood chips exactly where you need them—left, right, forward, or backward. At the end of the chute, an adjustable chip deflector lets you place chips either close to the machine or farther away, based on your requirements.
REVERSIBLE CHIPPER BLADES
The TFG55 PTO chipper utilizes 3 high-quality hardened steel reversible chipper blades. These blades be reversed to take advantage of having two cutting edges on each blade. The blades are held onto the flywheel with 3 countersunk M8 bolts. These three blades work in conjunction with a stationary bed plate located at the bottom of the infeed chute which acts as the second shearing edge as the blades pass by. The bed plate is adjustable to set the optimal gap between it and the cutting blade.
FLYWHEEL LOCKING PIN
The TFG55 PTO features a flywheel locking pin that makes blade changes or flywheel maintenance convenient and safe. The pin simply fits into a series of holes that are positioned so every blade can be easily accessed while being changed or reversed.
DRIVE BELT SYSTEM
The two flywheel speeds are made possible by a combination of cast iron pulleys and a series of drive belts running off the chipper’s main drive shaft. These belts are kept tight with idler wheels that have sealed bearings within them, and the tension is set with springs to keep a steady pressure on those belts and maximize service life. This belt system is what allows us to set the speed for functions of chipping and throwing, best utilizing the horsepower and torque of your tractor.
DEBRIS CONTROL
Inside of the infeed chute, we’ve affixed clear curtains to the caution bar. These are to control both dust and debris to keep it going in the right direction down the infeed chute.
PTO SHAFT INCLUDED
An adjustable and trimmable PTO shaft, complete with shear pin, is included with the TFG55 PTO wood chipper.
