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. The large feed chute takes most unpruned branches,
eliminating time-consuming pruning.
Durable Design
The
Farmi CH 160 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 725 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.
Safety Features
The
Farmi chippers do not have any
knife motion toward the operator. This reduces the risk of material
flying back through the feed chute. The discharge height is 86"
above ground so the discharge is above eye level. To accomplish safe
operation in various wind directions, the Farmi chipper's discharge
direction is adjustable 360 degrees. 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.
Powerful Chip
Discharge
A four
wing fan is built into the chipper's disk so it also retains its
rotational speed under heavy loads. 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 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 only 10
minutes. The knives are easy to get to and no special tools
are needed for the change. The discharge chute is easy to remove so
the chipper can be stored inside low buildings.
Interchangeable 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 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
Farmi CH 160 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 HF 160 power feed has one large 10 1/8" diameter top feed
roller. The feed roller climbs on top of the material, and the
teeth bite into the material and feed it in.
Oil required from the tractor
minimum 3, maximum 10, gallons per minute. The chippers are also
available with an internal hydraulic system. The system includes
tank, filter and pump which is driven from the chipper axle.
This option is for tractors where the hydraulic flow is
insufficient to run the power feed.
