I was wondering if anyone could comment on having a PTO chipper with a recommended pto hp of 35-60 powered with 30hp. Or under powered from recommended. The unit has an intelligent feed system that supposedly slows/stops the feed to let the cutter catch up. My speculation is that the max diameter would only be sustainable with max input power(60 and maybe not even then) and the whole chipping process would be slower with less hp. But I'd like the throat capability of a bigger unit because I suspect it handles smaller stuff better.
I would guess the same result from a under performing tractor powering a chipper.
I have a 4" self powered chipper and when given "hard" wood, I have to stop the feed and let it catch up. I'm ready to move up from self feed. But not a new larger tractor.
thanks
