Successful chipping depends on efficiency, durability, and ease of use. The HJ550 is designed especially for contractors and has been tested in real working conditions. Its practical design ensures it can handle different types of wood and work environments with ease.
Tested and proven performance
The HJ550 has been tested by various users, with different tractors and materials. The results are excellent: the chipper efficiently processes both logs and branches.
According to test users, the HJ550 performs very well even with wet and branchy wood, where making uniform chips can be difficult. The chip quality is top-class – no long splinters or irregular pieces, just consistent and adjustable chip size to meet user needs.
The chipper has been tested with both four and two blades, and the adjustment options are excellent due to the various blade settings. Tests show that with a powerful tractor, the chipper can process up to 100 m³ per hour, making it an exceptionally efficient disc chipper for contractors.
Built for tough conditions
The HJ550 is mounted on a spring-supported bogie chassis, which improves stability and makes movement easier in difficult terrain. It comes with support legs and a strong mounting flange for a loader as standard. The optimized 60-degree feeding angle ensures smooth and efficient wood flow into the chipper.
Easy maintenance and equipment
The HJ550 is designed to be low-maintenance, but when servicing is needed, all key parts are easily accessible. Large rear covers open for maintenance, protecting hydraulics and V-belts while ensuring fast and easy servicing, reducing downtime.
Optional accessories include a brush wood knife set, which improves chip quality, especially when chipping branchy material. Additionally, the chipper’s control unit can be extended with a 15-meter cable, allowing operation from another machine if the chipper is not fed directly from the tractor.
Summary
The HJ550 is a versatile and high-performance disc chipper that is suitable for both log and branch chipping. It offers excellent adjustability, works in demanding conditions, and produces high-quality chips. Tests confirm that it operates efficiently with different tractors and wood types, ensuring long-term reliable performance.
