Chipper Wood chipper on PTO with HST question...

Sounds like 19HP isn't enough to get the flywheel up and running.
Is your PTO digital? Either on or off. Mine has clutch so I can feather it on.

Max should still get it running, although 19 PTO HP isn't much for a chipper. I expect even if he does get it running, it'll bog down his tractor when he uses it...
Per his signature line, he has a 5" capacity chipper which should have a pretty good sized flywheel. Took me 24 PTO HP (with a clutch) to run a chipper with that capacity.

Looks like I was afraid to give it some throttle. I increased the speed a little more and I was able to get this thing going without stalling. I'll get more practice Today... Regarding the strength, it does what I need and the bigger pieces are fore the fireplace anyway. So far so good and the yard gets cleaned up at a good pace.
