Adding an engine to a pto chipper

[Pete Mctree]

Used several chippers made this way. If the skills are available then, it is both viable financially & as a commercially usable product. Especially when constructing larger chippers

And actually since someone stated most chippers run at 1000rpm.

Direct drive from a slightly oversized engine throttled back to run at 1000rpm.

Quieter too.

Interestingly most of the serious big diesel engine manufacturers appear to be bringing operating revs down to both increase mtbf and reduce noise.

Trucks excavators etc. etc.

or you could just buy a mobile chipper ,simples

turn the engine round about the opposite way and run a jack shaft with 2 sets of pulleys with your reduction on them and make your engine on a slide to use as a tensioner/clutch simples

That's pretty much how my old gravely ran but with a centrifugal clutch on the fly wheel..you would also need a pto pump for the hydrollics linked in off the fly wheel shaft as well.. Dead simples if your a mechanical genius!

Sniff!

But no, if the chipper was a self contained unit powered via a PTO stub.

All one needs is an engine permenantly attatched to the PTO stub.

The hydraulic pump etc is still part of the chipper.

Simples!
