Morbark

Find versatility and choice with the Morbark models 2070XL twister, 13 tornado and 2060-D cyclone brush chipper PTO units. Morbark PTO units are well suited for landscapers, golf course owners, farmers, private landowners and others who have access to a commercial tractor. Mounted on heavy-duty pedestal stands, which result in more even weight distribution, these chippers offer feed rates between 60 to 100 feet per minute, depending on the machine. Important features include an infeed tray that folds up into a compact unit, making transport safe and easy, and self-contained hydraulic components that eliminate the need to attach hydraulic hoses to the tractor.

John Deere

The CS46 and CS52 have both been added to the John Deere Pro-Series Chain Saws. The CS46 and CS52 saws' 45.01- and 51.7-cc engines have 3 and 3.4 hp. While a two-ring piston and closed port cylinder provides higher compression and more power, the saws' carburetors can last triple the average time between cleanings. A 3-piece crankshaft reduces vibration for more comfortable operation, and the 3-piece clutch makes for smoother clutch engagement and has more clutch surface to reduce slippage. For operator safety, each chain saw is equipped with an inertia chain brake, guidebar safety tip and low kickback chain. Homeowners and professionals can use the saws' for limbing, pruning, felling small trees, cutting firewood and performing other jobs.
