Overview

MAINTAIN POWER. REDUCE MAINTENANCE.

Using a Crary® Bear Cat® PTO machine reduces engine maintenance, giving you more uptime to work. With a  wide selection of PTO machines ready to go to work for you, it’s time to match your tractor with a Crary Bear Cat PTO Chipper and Chipper/Shredder.

If a 5-inch PTO chipper is what you need, Crary® Bear Cat® has just the right machine for you. You choose the model based on your power requirements.

The CH5540H (CE compliant model available) comes equipped with a 20″ x 1.25″ , 140 pound, dynamically balanced steel rotor with four reversible chipper blades, easy feeding with a big 28″ x 28″ feed hopper and 5.7″ x 7″ chipper throat opening that allows small side limbs, 360 degree rotating 6″ discharge chute.

The CH5540H features a Digital Display Controller (DDC) hydraulic feed system with a variable speed feed roller with instant reverse.

The DDC features:

  • Movable Digital TFT screen for easy viewing, even in bright sunlight conditions
  • Soft key menu selection buttons for simple user navigation
  • Pre-programmed maintenance schedule reminders
  • Hydraulic system diagnostic capabilities
  • Troubleshooting screens to provide in-field help
  • Pre-programmed with English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Norwegian, Russian and Chinese
  • Tested in the most extreme conditions to ensure longevity

The Chippers’ hydraulic feed system is electronically controlled. If the rotor speed drops below optimal operational RPM range, the controller pauses the feed roller to allow the rotor to regain speed, and then restarts feeding once optimal rotor RPM is achieved. This AutoFeed function allows for less fatigue on wear parts and maximizes efficiency.

NOTE – For Use On Tractors with PTO Horsepower Ratings From 25 hp to 45 hp
