PATENTED TWIN FLYWHEEL TECHNOLOGY

Chipping and throwing are the two primary functions of a wood chipper. With two flywheels, we’ve been able to optimize the speed of each specific function. The chipping flywheel spins at just over 700 RPM, allowing it to chip larger material faster with the 14 HP engine. The secondary flywheel spins over 2600 RPM, letting it throw materials out faster and farther. This also significantly increases the air flow, which helps carry difficult lightweight, wet, leafy, and coniferous material smoothly through the chip stream, reducing potential build-up.

GRAVITY-ASSIST INFEED SYSTEM

The TFG55 GAS features a gravity-assist infeed system which uniquely combines a steep infeed chute angle with a 3-blade twin flywheel design, creating a steady and predictable infeed action, far superior to gravity alone. This natural material draw provides smoother, more consistent, and safer feeding. The system also optimizes infeed speed, ensuring efficient use of engine horsepower.

RELIABLE POWER SOURCE

A reliable 14 HP Command Pro Kohler electric start engine powers the TFG55 GAS. The engine features a slant cylinder design with a cast iron cylinder bore and overhead valve for easy access. The Quad-Clean 4-stage air filtration systems ensures only clean air enters the engine for maximum power and engine lifecycle. A 12V battery is required for electric start and is not included with purchase.

SIDE-HINGED INFEED CHUTE

The infeed chute is side-hinged and secured with two draw latches with a safety catch. The latches can be released to swing the infeed chute wide open, providing access to inspect the blades, to set the bed plate, and perform greasing and maintenance on the rear bearing.

ADJUSTABLE AXLE SYSTEM

The axle system is adjustable to adapt to your transport and storage requirements. In its most compact format, it’s just 84 cm (33”) wide, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces, around the yard, and ideal for convenient storage. The axle can also be expanded to 94 cm (37”) or 104 cm (41”) for increased stability when towing, providing extra support and balance behind your vehicle.

TOWING ASSEMBLIES INCLUDED

The TFG55 GAS comes equipped with a galvanized front base leg that can easily be removed and replaced with an included tow hitch assembly. This setup includes a tow bar and 5 cm (2”) ball coupler, providing compatibility with a range of towing vehicles. Additionally, upper and lower plates are included for easy conversion to a pin-style hitch, ideal for connecting the chipper to most riding lawnmowers.

EASY-ACCESS CLAMSHELL DESIGN

The TFG55 GAS features a convenient clamshell design secured by a single latch with a safety catch. When opened, the clamshell rests securely on the tire, offering full access to the flywheel and chipping blades for quick and easy maintenance.

ROTATABLE DISCHARGE CHUTE

The discharge chute on the TFG55 GAS rotates 360 degrees in 90-degree increments, allowing you to direct wood chips exactly where you need them—left, right, forward, or backward. At the end of the chute, an adjustable chip deflector lets you place chips either close to the machine or farther away, based on your requirements.

TAPERED INFEED CHUTE

The TFG55 GAS has a large 69 cm x 43 cm (27 x 17”) infeed opening that features a solid 2 cm (3/4”) thick steel bar around the perimeter to provide a nice soft leading edge for branches as they try and make their way down into the chute to the 13 cm x 13 cm (5 x 5”) infeed opening. We also have four handle positions to make it easy to maneuver the chipper and reposition it.

REVERSIBLE CHIPPER BLADES

The TFG55 GAS chipper utilizes 3 high-quality hardened steel reversible chipper blades. These blades be reversed to take advantage of having two cutting edges on each blade. The blades are held onto the flywheel with 3 countersunk M8 bolts.

The three blades work in conjunction with a stationary bed plate located at the bottom of the infeed chute which acts as the second shearing edge as the blades pass by. The bed plate is adjustable to set the optimal gap between it and the cutting blade.

DRIVE BELT SYSTEM

Two cast iron pulleys and a series of drive belts running off the engine facilitate the two flywheel speeds. These belts are kept tight with idler wheels that have sealed bearings within them, and the tension is set with springs to keep a steady pressure on those belts and maximize service life.

MULTI-PLY TIRE ASSEMBLY

The TFG55 GAS rolls on two 15 x 11 multi-ply tires on 6” rims. The powder-coated rims include packed tapered roller bearings with a zerk fitting inside the rim to maximize service life.

DEBRIS CONTROL

Inside of the infeed chute, we’ve affixed clear curtains to the caution bar. These are to control both dust and debris to keep it going in the right direction down the infeed chute.

EMERGENCY STOP

Located at the top of the infeed chute, we have our emergency stop in anodized aluminum, which is easy to set and reset.
