The low feeding point ensures effortless feeding of the chipper.   The operator can stand with a straight back.  The discharge direction is adjustable 360 degrees.The chipper is easy to move between locations as the feed chute will fold up so it will not stick outside the width of the tractor.

    The chipper stands up by itself on the ground and is easy to hook up or remove from the tractor.

Power Requirements

    Due to the inertia of the heavy and large rotor, power units down to 50HP can be used.  About 7 HP is required for every inch of round wood diameter.  

Safety Features

    The VALBY chippers do not have any knife motion toward the operator-this reduces the risk of loose material flying back through the feed chute.

    The knives are counter-sunk into the disk, so the stress of chipping is absorbed by the entire backside of the knife, not just the knife bolts.

    The discharge height is 10' above ground so the discharge is above eye level.  To accomplish safe operation in various wind directions, the VALBY chipper's discharge direction is adjustable 360 degrees. 

    The deflector bonnet enables placing the chips near or far.   The Valby chippers also have several noise-reducing features. The discharge opening is above ear level.  It is adjustable and can be directed away from the operator.  The hydraulic feed rollers cover the feed opening, thus reducing the noise level. The air intake is on the tractor side so the noise from the chipping is directed away from the operator.
