Durable
Design
The Valby
LC400 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
630 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 LC400 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 4" diameter round wood. It can handle residue
from logging, land clearing, orchards and gardens. The chipper can also
handle slabs up to 6" 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. This
reduces risk of material flying back through the feed chute. 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 knices are counter sunk into the disk
for safety and durability. |

Powerful Chip Discharge
|
|
A heavy duty belt drive transmission
allows for quick and productive chipping and
is a standard feature on both VALBY LC400 and LC600 models. The
transmission is geared 2.1:1. For every one revolution of your tractor
pto, the chipping disk spins 2.2 times. This process mininizes plugging
in the discharge chute and allows for a more uniform chip. The chips can
be directed in any desired direction as the discharge
chute rotates 360 degrees. The chips can be placed near or far by aiming
the deflector bonnet. |

Ease of
Service
|
|
The upper housing opens for easy access to the
knives. The the knives can be sharpened up to 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. |
| |
Feed Chutes
|
|
The feed chutes of the chipper are on a hinge, so the chute can be
folded to the side for access to the anvil and knives. The feed
chutes are also detachable. |
