Hansa C21 13cm PTO Driven Wood Chipper

A world-class chipper designed for commercial use and built in New Zealand by Hansa, the C21PTO is the largest gravity self-feeding model in the range. Boasting an extremely heavy duty cutting disc, the machine is able to handle the rigorous needs of the most demanding operator. Its inlet chute is specifically shaped to assist the feeding of heavier branches and bushy foliage.

Suitable for lawn tractors of 20hp to 55hp, this chipper is connected to the tractor by the three-point linkage. Designed for a PTO speed of 540rpm, the driveshaft is fitted with a shear pin device for protection of the machine and tractor. Because of its compact design, the machine is relatively light, easily manoeuvred and can be operated in areas with restricted space and access.

This disc type chipper is of solid construction which boasts a chipping capacity of 100 to 130mm diameter branches, depending on the type of wood. The C21PTO will process branch and brushy material and other vegetation material. It has a large inlet chute for feeding in bigger bundles of brushy and twiggy materials, vines and larger branches, therefore no pre-cutting is necessary. The machine has a very efficient self feeding action thanks to the design of the rotor and the blade set-up, resulting in a user friendly machine easy on the operator. The inertia generated by the large rotor disc creates enough momentum to keep cutting as well as giving the machine enough draught to discharge the mulch up to 10 metres away (or close to the operating area by adjusting the deflector on the outlet chute). Having a discharge height of 1.8 metres makes the C21PTO ideal for discharging onto a trailer or truck, eliminating the need for any double handling of mulch.

By pivoting open the outlet chute this allows full access to the inside of the machine. This makes changing blades for sharpening simple and requires little effort. As with all of the larger Hansa chippers, adjustable blades eliminate the need to adjust the anvil after sharpening, giving the ability to adjust each blade individually to the anvil for optimal clearance. The blades will last anywhere up to 30 hours use before requiring sharpening, depending on the type of material being mulched.

The Hansa C21PTO is suitable for us by contractors, farmers and local authorities, in orchards, parks and nature reserves.
