5 inch PTO Chipper - Model SC5540
Unleash some PTO power!
If you have more acreage, you need more power to keep up with tree clearing, trimming and debris handling. Which makes the SC5540 the perfect machine for the job.
Bearcat's 125 pound balanced rotor and 4 reversible chipper blades have a well-deserved reputation for converting mounds of tree branches into mounds of mulch and compost material.
Whether you're loading leaves and debris down the 20 x 30 inch hopper or feeding 5 inch branches and trees into the chipper chute, the SC5540 chipper/shredder with an optional 1-speed blower attachment will pile the material where you want it.
Because the optional blower discharge chute rotates a full 360 degrees and is equipped with an adjustable deflector cap, precision placement of wood chips can mean filling up a pickup box, trailer or wagon for quick clean up and less labor.
