Tractor Mounted Wood Chipper CH 140 |
| |
|
Durable
Design
The Valby CH 140 wood
chipper is the machine for people who have use for a small durable
chipper. You know this machine was built to last because of the hefty
600 lb. weight. The heavy cutter
disk carries a lot of inertia, which helps the chipper run
smoother, is easier on the tractor, and enables bigger pieces to be
chipped without stalling the tractor. The quality spherical roller
bearings enable the chipper to be used at any PTO speed, up to
2000 RPM. |
|
| |
|
The Valby CH 140 chipper
produces uniform chips
which can be used for burning, animal bedding, landscaping and
mulch. The chipper can chip soft and hard woods, green or seasoned. The
chipper is capable of chipping 6 1/4" diameter round wood. It can handle
residue from logging, land clearing, orchards and gardens. The chipper
can also handle slabs up to 9" wide. The material is drawn into the
chipper at the speed of 1 to 3 feet per second. The chipper is
self-feeding
and draws in the material without pushing by the operator. |

Ease of
Operation
The low feeding point
ensures effortless feeding of the chipper. The operator
can stand with a straight back. The chipper stands by itself on the
ground and is easy to hook up or remove from the tractor. |

|
Safety
Features
The Valby chippers do
not have any knife motion toward the operator, thus reducing risk of
material flying back through the feed chute. The discharge height is
under 4 feet, so the chips fly out below eye level. To accomplish safe
operation in various wind directions, the Valby chipper's discharge
direction is adjustable 360 degrees. An adjustable deflector bonnet
enables placing the chips near or far. The chipper feeds the material
smoothly and does
not jerk it from the operator's hands. The knives are
counter sunk into the disk for safety. |

Ease of
Service |
|
|
The
upper-housing of the chipper folds up for easy access to the
knives. The knives can be sharpened about 50 times before
replacement. The changing of the knives takes about 10 minutes. The
knives are easy to get to, and no special tools are needed for the
change.
The discharge chute is
low so the chipper can be stored in low buildings. |
|
| |
|
Interchangeable Feed Chutes
The feed chutes of the chipper are on a
hinge, the chute can be folded to the side for access
to the anvil and knives. The feed chutes are detachable. One can hook up
either feed chute option to an existing machine. |
|
| |
|
The F 150 is a regular
drop feed where the knives pull in the material. The HF 160 has a
hydraulic power feed roller which feeds in the material.
Hydraulic Power Feed Option |
|
| |
|
The Valby CH 140 can be ordered or retrofitted
with a hydraulic power feed. The power feed is useful when whole trees
with branches are chipped. The hydraulic feed is controlled from a
control bar which runs on top of the feed chute. The operator can select
feed, stop and reverse from the control bar.
The large 10 1/8" diameter top feed roller
will climb on top of the material and grab it in. The roller is spring
loaded and it pushes the material together so that it will fit through
the feed chute. Oil required from the tractor minimum 3, maximum 10
gallons per minute. If your tractor does not have sufficient hydraulics
to run the power feed, click here for information about a chipper with an independent hydraulic
system. |

The lip of the
feed chute extension can be folded up for transport. The power feed
can also be folded up for transport,
so it will not protrude outside the width of the tractor. |
