FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
1. What tractor size do I need to operate this chipper?The CH5540 requires a tractor with 25–45 PTO horsepower, running a standard 540 RPM PTO.
2. Can it handle fresh or wet wood?Yes. The heavy-duty rotor and wide throat opening allow efficient chipping of wet, stringy, or irregular material.
3. How often do blades need maintenance?The chipper uses four reversible blades. Once one edge dulls, the blade can be flipped for double lifespan before sharpening is needed.
4. Does the discharge chute rotate?Yes, the 6-inch chute rotates 360 degrees, making chip placement easy whether you're blowing into a trailer, pile, or bed.
5. Is assembly or additional hardware required?Most units require minimal assembly. You will need a compatible Category 1 tractor and PTO shaft (depending on setup) to operate the chipper.
