The WCX-5 has been designed with features that give it higher specifications than other similar-looking chippers. It's those upgrades that make it the best choice for chipping wood and branches around the farm, lifestyle block or orchard it's quick easy and efficient.

Features & Benefits

• The Hanmey WCX5, has a direct drive rotor, (no belts and pulleys to go wrong)
• It has 4 reversible blades made of hardened tool steel, for durability, these can be turned over to be used on a fresh cutting edge giving you 2 goes with each blade before it needs sharpening or replacement
• There are 4 blower paddles with twig breakers combined with air intake holes in the body to create higher airflow and reduced clogging. This feature and the air suction venting in the chipper housing improve the distribution of the chips.
• It is self-feeding by design, the hopper is mounted at an angle to the rotor which allows the blades to pull in the branches and limbs as it cuts them at an angle pulling in as it cuts.
• The output chute rotates 270°
• The feed chute folds up easily making the unit more compact to travel with on narrow tracks and to store in the shed.
• This chipper is suitable for tractors of 18-45HP It can be used on larger tractors as the supplied PTO shaft has Shearbolt protection. 
•  If fitted to larger tractors adaptor bushes for the Category 1 linkage pins would be required to increase to category 2. ( bushes available in our parts section)

Notes

Key Differences in the Hanmey WCX-5 Chipper vs Other similar looking chippers 

5" /127mm Maximum capacity many similar size chippers are only 100mm 

Larger more heavy-duty blades, WCX5 tool steel blades are larger in all dimensions and the thickness is 10mm on the WCX5 vs only 7mm on other similar-looking chippers 

The blades are also held on with larger blade bolts 10mm vs 6mm 

Reinforced rotor, The WCX5 rotor has an additional plate behind the blower paddles increasing the rigidity of the structure and durability of the rotor.

It comes with an operator's manual which is stored in a handy manual storage canister that's bolted to the body of the chipper, not only that but the manual is in English and clear and concise.
