Working with this BX series is a true delight thanks to its hydraulic feed system. With this model, feeding and pushing etc. are a thing of the past; the 2 large feed rollers take care of this themselves. The speed of the feed rollers can be continuously adjusted. This is important so that the feed speed can be adjusted to fit the diameter of the material to be shredded. Smaller diameters can be fed faster than larger diameters. In the event that the feeder should become blocked, the feed can be set into reverse using the large handle on the hopper. Furthermore, the feed can be switched off using this handle. The unit is powered via the tractor’s hydraulics; a pressurised supply line and an unpressurised return line are required or alternatively a double-acting control unit is required.

The hopper can be folded upward with ease for transport and is secured using a cotter pin. In order to make folding upward easier, the chipper has 2 shock absorbers.

The unit has been constructed in a very maintenance-friendly way; you can open the flywheel cover completely by unscrewing just one screw, giving you access to the 4 cutting blades. These cutting blades are double-sided, so that they can be turned around if required. The flywheel has a net-weight of 125 kg and has fitted wings, which produces the incredibly powerful suction which ultimately expels the chippings out of the chute. Thanks to this powerful suction, a blockage of the shredding unit is virtually impossible.

The shredder has been conceived to be attached to 3 point linkage and can be used from Cat. I.
