John Deere WC12 Series
Wood Chippers
- Pull-type unit with drawbar
- Adjustable discharge chute
- Reversible, hydraulic feed roll
Features
The discharge chute rotates 360 degrees for fast and easy positioning.
The chute also features an adjustable deflector to accurately direct the wood chips to the desired location.
The hydraulic feedroll is mounted on a spring-loaded frame on the WC12 Series Wood Chippers, allowing it to raise up and down depending on the size of the timber going through.
The speed of the feedroll can be adjusted on the side of the wood chipper with the hydraulic flow valve.
Engagement of the feedroll is done by pushing or pulling the handle that wraps around the outside of the feed box. The feedroll has three positions: neutral, reverse, feed (forward).
The feedroll grabs the material as it is fed into the chipper and allows the operator to step away while it automatically pulls material into the knives.
This factory-installed, self-contained hydraulic kit is for tractors with less than 22.7 L/min (6 gpm) of hydraulic capacity or with no available rear selective control valves (SCVs). The kit contains a hydraulic reservoir and power take-off (PTO) driven hydraulic pump.
