Remet RT-720R PTO Disc Chipper w/ Hydraulic Feed

Remet 720R PTO Driven Disc Chipper w/ Hydraulic Feed

The Remet RT-720R PTO disc chipper is designed for chipping branches, tree trunks, and other wooden materials such as sawmill edging scraps up to 6.7" (17cm) in diameter. Chip size is determined by adjusting the infeed speed of the dual infeed rollers. The blades are mounted on a 28.3" (720mm) diameter, 187 lb. cutting disc, which acts as a flywheel to maintain rotational inertia under load.

The discharge chute can be rotated 360˚ to direct the stream of chips in the preferred direction. The chipper infeed hopper is positioned for efficiency and ease of loading. The RT-720R produces uniform chips suitable for use as biomass fuel in screw feed wood burners, as decorative landscape material, of for farm animal bedding.

The RT-7200R chipper requires a 55-80hp tractor.  Power for the chipper drive is transmitted by the PTO shaft from the tractor PTO (right-hand rotation). The included safety switch should be wired to the tractor's PTO circuit.

Roller bearings are lubricated via grease points in the bearing housings. A large infeed hopper makes feeding limbed branches easy. The hydraulic infeed includes hydraulic hoses and a speed control valve. 

Options:

• PTO shaft with friction clutch (An alternative PTO shaft with shear bolt is also available separately.)
• Chip baggers
• 39" (1m) vertical discharge chute extension

Recommendations:

• We recommend the use of a friction clutch PTO to protect both the disk chipper and the tractor from excessive shock loads.
