Farmer Helper Self Feeding Wood Chipper | Model FH-WCX52 | Chipping Capacity Diameter 5" | 18–45 HP | For Tractor

DESCRIPTION

The Farmer Helper FH-WCX52 5" Self Feeding Wood Chipper is engineered to deliver fast, efficient wood chipping for property owners, landscapers, farmers, and acreage maintenance professionals. Featuring a self-feeding continuous blade drawn feed system, this PTO-powered chipper easily processes branches up to 5 inches in diameter while minimizing operator effort. Its 125 lb heavy-duty flywheel with extractor wings stores more rotational energy, producing smoother performance and greater cutting efficiency than lighter flywheel designs. Equipped with four reversible hardened steel blades, a direct-drive PTO system, and a 540 RPM operating speed, the FH-WCX52 provides consistent power while reducing fuel consumption. The 300° rotating discharge chute, hinged feed hopper, and easy-access flywheel cover simplify operation, maintenance, and chip placement. Built with a durable powder-coated steel frame, this compact yet rugged wood chipper is ideal for 18–45 HP Category I tractors, making it an excellent solution for clearing brush, storm cleanup, orchard maintenance, and producing quality mulch.

Key Features

• Self-Feeding Wood Chipper Performance Continuous blade drawn feed automatically pulls branches into the cutting chamber, reducing manual feeding effort while increasing productivity when processing limbs up to 5" diameter.
• Heavy 125 lb Flywheel Oversized flywheel with extractor wings stores greater rotational energy for smoother operation, faster chipping, improved momentum, and reduced tractor power demand compared to lighter flywheel designs.
• Processes Up to 5" Branches Easily chips hardwood and softwood branches up to 5 inches in diameter, making it ideal for farms, orchards, homesteads, landscaping projects, and storm debris cleanup.
• 18–45 HP Tractor Compatible Optimized for 18–45 horsepower tractors with Category I three-point hitch compatibility. Lower horsepower tractors can operate efficiently by adjusting material size and feed rate.
• Direct PTO Drive System Direct connection between the PTO driveline and flywheel maximizes torque transfer, improves cutting performance, minimizes power loss, and delivers reliable operation.
• Four Reversible Steel Blades Hardened tool steel cutting knives are reversible, resharpenable, and replaceable, extending blade life while reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
• Reversible Bed Blade Heavy-duty reversible bed knife provides clean cutting action, improves chip consistency, and extends service life before replacement is required.
• 300° Rotating Discharge Chute Adjustable discharge chute rotates up to 300 degrees, allowing precise chip placement into trailers, piles, or landscaping areas while improving jobsite efficiency.
• Large Hinged Feed Hopper The 20" x 20" hinged hopper provides convenient loading of limbs, brush, and branches while allowing easy access for cleaning and routine maintenance.
• Easy Blade Access Flywheel housing opens with minimal effort, making blade inspection, sharpening, replacement, and cleanout fast to reduce maintenance downtime.
• Durable Powder-Coated Finish Heavy-duty powder coating helps resist rust, corrosion, scratches, and outdoor weather exposure for long-lasting professional appearance and durability.
• Compact Tractor Friendly Lightweight yet rugged construction makes the FH-WCX52 an excellent wood chipper for compact and utility tractors without sacrificing performance.
• 540 RPM PTO Operation Standard 540 RPM PTO creates strong airflow through the housing, helping eject chips efficiently while reducing clogging and maintaining continuous operation.
