2024 DR Equipment Chippers PRO 475

A dedicated self-feeding chipper that will power through branches up to 4.75" in diameter. High discharge makes for easy collection of chips and we offer an extended discharge chute option.

The PRO 475 features our DR Self-Feeding design that will let you tear through branches up to 4.75" in diameter without bogging down. A vertically oriented hopper, precisely angled chipping knife and powerful air channel draw materials in and spit them out the chute.

The PRO 475 Chipper accepts our swivelling, extended discharge chute that turns 180° allowing you to direct wood chips into a pickup truck, a container, or into the woods.

Features may include:

• A large vertically oriented hopper, a precisely-angled heavy-duty chipping knife, and a powerful air channel work together to pull branches into the chipping hopper and blast wood chips out the discharge. Most materials will self-feed, so once you drop a branch in your free to get the next one. No force feeding required!

• The big opening for branches (17" x 27") accepts 4.75" branches with little or no trimming of side branches.

• The key to efficient wood chipping is the rotating mass created by the flywheel on which the chipper knife is mounted. The PRO 475 features a 17.75" diameter flywheel that weighs a hefty 50 pounds. It spins at 128 mph and takes an amazing 40 "bites" per second!

• Made of high-carbon/high-chromium forged alloy tool steel, our knives hold an edge longer than those on "bargain" chippers.. Still, as with any cutting tool, keeping a sharp edge is important for maintaining peak performance. We recommend keeping an extra on hand so you can minimize downtime.
