FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What PTO horsepower is required to operate the CH5540H?This model is designed for tractors with a PTO rating between 25 and 45 HP.
2. How does the AutoFeed system work?The DDC controller pauses the feed roller when rotor RPM drops below optimal level, preventing overload. Once the rotor recovers speed, feeding automatically resumes.
3. Do the chipper blades require frequent sharpening?The four reversible blades are heat-treated for durability. Since they are reversible, you get double the usable life before sharpening or replacement is required.
4. Can the discharge chute be adjusted?Yes, the 6" discharge chute rotates 360 degrees for precise chip placement into trailers, piles, or carts.
5. Is this model suitable for wet or stringy wood?Yes. The cantilever rotor design helps reduce wrapping on fibrous or wet wood, improving chipping efficiency.
