All our PTO (tractor driven) chippers are built standard on a base with skids that hooks up on 3 point of the tractor. Trailerized options makes it easier to connect and transport a PTO chipper over longer distances. It also takes a lot of strain off of the tractors 3-point especially when the chippers 3 point hydraulic system cannot pick up the weight of chipper. Trailerized options are available upon request at an additional cost on all our PTO chippers. We currently have 2 trailerized options:

40km/h Roadworthy Trailer

The SABS approved roadworthy 40km/h trailer option is has an un-braked axle and can be towed on public roads at speeds of up to 40km/h. Its got leaf springs and an eye coupler connects up to the tractor’s tow bar. It’s got a lower feeding height than the Farm Trailer option and reduces operator fatigue. This option is not available after-market and must be ordered before-hand.

120km/h Roadworthy Trailer

The 120km/h trailer is the same as the 40km/h unit, but has a braked-axle can be towed on public roads up to speeds of 120km/h. The Roadworthy options are not available after market and needs to be requested before purchase of a PTO chipper.

This option is when your chipper is working close to the sea or will be transported on a daily basis. The galvanized finish makes the trailer last longer. The Zinc corrodes 30 times slower than steel does, so trailers are better protected from rust and corrosion than standard spray painted trailers. Little stones jumps up while driving causing scratches on the trailer's paint. This will make it rust quickly especially along the coastline. Hot dip galvanized trailers costs a little more initially but is more durable and lasts longer than standard spray painted trailers.
