【TRUE 8"x 8" INFEED OPENING】: WC-8H offers a larger 8"x 8" infeed to easily accept those crooked branches. Other 8" chippers open 8" wide, but only 4-1/2" high.【FULLY ADJUSTABLE INFEED ROLLER TENSION SPRINGS】: WC-8H utilizes high-tension springs in conjunction with a unique adjustment mechanism that offers a full range of variable down pressure since all branches are different- some soft and some hard. This feature allows the user to increase to decrease the upper roller-down pressure to suit the situation. Crank up the tension to achieve up to 165 lbs. of down pressure. This allows the teeth on the roller to dig into the branches and ensure a smooth entry into the chipper head.【EASY SWIVEL DISCHARGE CHUTE】: 360 degrees of rotation and 2-finger operation. We have incorporated a convenient handle that effortlessly allows you to swivel the discharge chute so that you can direct the chips into the back of a truck or trailer without having to move the entire machine.

This safety bar can be actuated and left in the off position. hands-free. so that the operator can use both hands to clear the in-feed bin. This feature is safer because it allows the user to start the chipper without the feed rollers turning. Other chippers require a hand on the safety bar to keep the feed rollers in the off position.【HANDY FEED ROLLER ASSIST HANDLE LOCATED ON TOP OF MACHINE】: This feature allows the user to access the handle from either side of the machine.The center lift point allows the WC8-H chipper to use stronger tension springs, increasing the in-feed ability.【WIDE FOOTPRINT SKID TYPE SUPPORT BASE】: Because of its robust weight and to prevent the machine from sinking into the soft ground during operation, the new WC-8H offers a wide foot- prints kid-type support base.
