Forester PTO Chipper Shredder

The Forester PTO has the same shredding and chipping specification as the 13-hp Forester but is built to mount on the 3-point linkage of a category 1 agricultural tractor and operate from its rear 540-rpm power-take-off drive. Within the shredder chipper, triple A-section V-belts gear-up the PTO speed to drive the rotor at 1350 rpm.

Attaches to any category 1 agricultural or compact tractor which has a 13/8" six-spline rear PTO drive. Category 1 encompasses tractors of up to 33kW (44hp) and the smallest suitable tractor is one of 12hp. The shredder/chipper will not attach to a ride-on mower or a Countax or Westfield garden tractor.

A quick-release PTO drive shaft equipped with a radial-pin clutch that slips at a preset load of 300Nm with an audible warning is supplied with the shredder/chipper. The shaft has a 13/8" six-spline coupling at each end but other shafts can be supplied to suit old or none-standard tractors - especially old Fergies!

This is a very versatile and powerful unit which provides the transportability necessary for the largest properties and the reduced running costs of agricultural diesel fuel.
