Whole Tree Chipper

  • Weight: 21999.2 kg
  • Fuel Type: Diesel
  • Power: 600 hp (447.4 kW)

Features

The WC2500TX whole tree chipper has a tracked undercarriage, allowing you to maneuver in the woods and tough land-clearing sites. Featuring a microchip or macrochip drum with adjustable bite sizes, faster and easier knife setup and a PT Tech clutch, the WC2500TX whole tree chipper offers a powerful and effective solution for producing wood chips in a compact footprint. Material can be handled efficiently with variable-speed dual-infeed conveyor chains and SmartCrush technology.

Key Features

  • The WC2500TX has a compact design to aid in manoeuvring in the woods and land-clearing sites but packs 600 hp (448 kW) of power to meet your production demands.
  • With SmartCrush technology that automatically increases down pressure when difficult material enters the cutting drum and variable-speed dual-infeed conveyor chains, operators can concentrate on loading the machine — not pushing the material through.
  • High-wear material flow areas of the machine — such as the drum, discharge chute, cutter housing and infeed conveyor floor — are designed with replaceable bolt-in wear parts to extend machine life.
  • The microchip drum produces a variety of sizes between 1/8″ (3 mm) to 5/8″ (16 mm) chips, while the microchip drum produces chip sizes between 5/8” (16 mm) and 1.25” (32 mm).
  • Knife setup is fast and easy. The knife position is set with two small bolts — no babbiting needed. Bite-size is adjustable in 1/8″ (3 mm) increments from 1/8″ (3 mm) up to 1.25″ (32 mm) via shims. Makes knife changeout on the job site easy to help reduce the cost of operation.
  • Self-adjusting, push-button, hydraulic dry clutch provides consistent engagement — helping to prolong clutch life, lower maintenance costs and reduce the risk of damage by the operator.
  • Vermeer remote control system, designed specifically for this machine, allows operators to engage/disengage the clutch and control the trip meter, EcoIdleTM engine control system and work lights from the remote.
