FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. Does the CH6627H come with a battery?
No. The electric-start battery is sold separately, allowing the user to select their preferred 12V battery type.

2. What is the maximum size of wood it can chip?
This chipper is rated to process material up to 6 inches in diameter, depending on wood type and feed speed.

3. How does the AutoFeed system work?
The electronic controller monitors rotor RPM. If RPM drops too low, the feed roller pauses automatically and resumes when power stabilizes, protecting the chipper and improving productivity.

4. Can it handle wet or stringy wood?
Yes. The cantilever-mounted “propeller-style” rotor design minimizes wrapping and clogging, making it effective for wet or fibrous material.

5. Is this chipper suitable for municipal or commercial use?
Absolutely. Its hydraulic feed system, high-capacity rotor, towable design, and rugged build make it ideal for municipalities, contractors, and professional tree services.
