PTO Wood Chipper TF68PRO – 6″

The TF68 PRO PTO wood chipper is the latest addition to our range of high-performance PTO wood chippers, built tough for Australian conditions. Designed to handle dense Australian hardwood, it effortlessly chips material up to 6″ (15 cm) in diameter, making it ideal for farms, acreage owners, arborists, and contractors across Australia.

The TF68 PRO PTO wood chipper features our patented Twin Flywheel technology. Its high-torque chipping flywheel allows you to process larger hardwood with less PTO horsepower, while the secondary flywheel spins at twice the speed to throw chips faster and farther.

Engineered for tractors with 20–50 HP at the PTO, the TF68 PRO PTO wood chipper includes a self-contained hydraulic infeed system with a 6″ x 8″ (15 cm x 20 cm) opening and a 360-degree rotating discharge chute for maximum flexibility and efficiency.

Technical Specifications

Patented Twin Flywheel Technology

Chipping and throwing are the two core functions of any wood chipper. By using two flywheels, we’ve optimised the speed and performance of each task independently.

The primary chipping flywheel spins at 540 RPM, delivering high torque where it matters most. This provides powerful, consistent chipping performance and allows the machine to process larger material using less PTO horsepower.

The secondary flywheel operates at twice the speed (1080 rpm), propelling chips out faster and farther. This high-speed flywheel dramatically increases airflow through the system, helping move lightweight, wet, leafy, and coniferous material smoothly through the chip stream. The result is reduced build-up, fewer blockages, and more efficient operation, even in challenging conditions.

Capacity

The PTO woodchipper TF68 PRO is designed to operate on tractors with 20 to 50 HP at the PTO. It features a large 69 cm x 66 cm (27” x 26”) infeed hopper that tapers down to a 15 cm x 20 cm (6″ x 8″) opening, where the 20 cm (8″) diameter hydraulic roller grips branches and feeds them efficiently through the chipper. The PTO woodchipper TF68 PRO can handle material ranging from 6 mm (1/4”) up to 15 cm (6″) in diameter, making it ideal for Australian hardwood and a variety of property maintenance tasks.

Hydraulic Infeed System

Branches are pulled into the PTO woodchipper TF68 PRO by the 20 cm (8″) diameter infeed roller. The roller is hydraulically driven by the chipper’s self-contained hydraulic system, with the hydraulic pump belt-driven from the main flywheel shaft. The infeed roller is adjustable in both direction and speed, allowing smooth, consistent feeding of branches of all shapes and sizes, making it ideal for Australian hardwood and property maintenance.

Stainless Steel Gas-Charged Infeed Springs

The infeed system features stainless gas springs that deliver more consistent force from the infeed roller compared to conventional coil springs. In addition to maintaining constant pressure as materials pass through, the gas springs provide a dampening effect when material sizes change, resulting in a smoother and more reliable infeed.

Reversible Chipper Blades

The PTO woodchipper TF68 PRO features four high-quality 8 mm (5/16”) thick hardened steel reversible chipper blades. Positioned 90 degrees apart, each blade can be reversed to use both cutting edges for longer life. The blades are secured to the flywheel with four countersunk M10 bolts. Thanks to the clamshell flywheel housing design, blade changes are quick and easy—simply undo one bolt and the upper flywheel housing swings open, giving full access to the flywheel and chipper blades on the PTO woodchipper TF68 PRO.

Flywheel Locking Pin

Say goodbye to unsafe blade changes with the Woodland Mills flywheel locking pin. The PTO woodchipper TF68 PRO is fitted with a flywheel locking pin, making blade changes and flywheel maintenance safe, simple, and convenient. The pin slots into a series of holes positioned so every blade on the PTO woodchipper TF68 PRO can be easily accessed for reversing or replacement.

Discharge Chute

The chute is designed to rotate 360 degrees, allowing you to direct wood chips in any direction by simply adjusting the two handles. The end of the chute stands 1.5 m (58”) off the ground, making it easy to discharge chips into the back of a truck or trailer. A rotating deflector at the end of the chute provides additional control, letting you aim the chips straight for maximum distance or angle them downward to deposit chips directly onto the ground or into a trailer.

Folding Infeed Chute

The PTO woodchipper TF68 PRO features a large 69 cm x 66 cm (27” x 26”) infeed chute, making it easy to feed branches with multiple limbs effortlessly. For added convenience, the infeed chute can be folded up, reducing the footprint of the PTO woodchipper TF68 PRO during transport or storage.

Adjustable Chainsaw Holder

The PTO woodchipper TF68 PRO comes with an adjustable chainsaw holder featuring nylon slides, making it easy to fit different bar widths. It provides a secure place to transport your chainsaw around your property, keeping it safely stored while you move between jobs.

Quick Hitch Compatible

The PTO woodchipper TF68 PRO features a Category 1, 3-point hitch system designed for tractors with 20–50 PTO horsepower. It is also quick-hitch compatible, allowing for faster and easier hook ups so you can get to work with minimal setup time.

PTO Shaft

Included with the TF68PRO chipper is a PTO shaft complete with a shear pin.
