Description
TRUE 8" x 8" INFEED OPENING
WC-8H offer a larger 8"x 8" infeed to easily accept those crooked branches. Other 8" chippers open 8" wide, but only 4-1/2" high
200 LBS FLYWHEEL - IDEAL WEIGHT
WC-8H use a 24" dynamically computer balanced 200 lbs. flywheel to run smooth and deliver the energy to easily chip all types of material. Competitors use a wide range of flywheel weights, but through thorough testing and experimentation, WC-8H has discovered that the 200 lbs. flywheel is ideal for this size of wood chipper.
EASY SWIVEL DISCHARGE CHUTE
360 degrees of rotation and two finger operation. We have incorporated a convenient handle that effortlessly allows you to swivel the discharge chute so that you can direct the chips into the back of a truck or trailer without having to move the entire machine. Simply push down on the handle and swing the chute. When you release the handle a spring loaded pin drops down to lock the chute into position. No tools required.
FULLY ADJUSTABLE INFEED ROLLER TENSION SPRINGS
The WC-8H utilizes high tension springs in conjunction with a unique adjustment mechanism that offers a full range of variable down pressure, since all branches are different - some soft and some hard. This feature allows the user to increase to decrease the upper roller down pressure to suit the situation. Crank up the tension to achieve up to 165 lbs. of down pressure. This allows the teeth on the roller to dig into the branches and ensure a smooth entry into the chipper head.
HEAVY DUTY 5/8" COGGED DRIVE V-BELTS
WC-8H chippers are equipped with extreme duty 5/8" wide cogged drive v-belts. Cogged v-belts run cooler, and transfer more torque than plain smooth v-belts. Although the OEM belts are very high quality, if the need arises, the standard BX size allows you to purchase replacement v-belts at any auto parts store.
SAFETY AUTO FEED STOP BAR
Safety is paramount on WC-8H. Located on the top of the infeed bin, the WM-8H utilizes an easy to activate hydraulic auto-feed stop safety bar to disengage the infeed rollers in case of an emergency, or to clear the infeed bin if necessary. By simply pulling down on the bar, the user can stop and even reverses the direction of the infeed rollers.
HANDY FEED ROLLER ASSIST HANDLE LOCATED ON TOP OF MACHINE
This feature allows the user to access the handle from either side of the machine. The center lift point allows the WC-8H to use stronger tension springs, increasing the infeed ability.
ADJUSTABLE BASE LEGS
You asked for it and we delivered! These adjustable legs will help accommodate a larger variety of tractors. This innovation allows you to more easily meet the required PTO shaft angle (less than 15 degrees) on larger tractors. Simply insert the adjustable legs, and then slide the pin into the hole for your required leg height. WC-8H are able to accommodate tractors that have a PTO height from 18" to 30" high. Because of its robust weight and to prevent the machine from sinking into the soft ground during operation, the new WC-8H offers a wide footprint skid type support base. This base is angled upward on the end to prevent digging into the ground while transporting.
EASY KNIFE ACCESS PANELS
WC-8H chipper knives can be changed from the side of the machine by one person in as little as 10 minutes. Other chippers require you to reach into the infeed bin to hold the head of the bolt, while someone else turns the nut from the backside of the flywheel.
PTO Shaft
Included with the WC8-M chipper is the PTO shaft complete with a shear pin.
