A PTO wood chipper is only as useful as its feed system. A machine that stalls on every forked branch or awkward crotch costs more in lost time than it saves in handling, which is why the feed mechanism — not the engine or the colour — is the first thing worth evaluating.

The Foreler 07 PTO is a tractor-mounted disc chipper with a 7-inch (17.7cm) chipping capacity, hydraulically driven feed rollers and a 87kg rotor. It runs on tractors from 30hp to 100hp, which covers most of the utility and mid-size machines already on a farm or estate.

Why Hydraulic Feed Rollers Matter

Feed systems differ in how well they grip material and how smoothly they let it through. A hydraulic roller system pulls material in under controlled force rather than relying on gravity and the operator’s arm strength.

On the Foreler 07 PTO, the hydraulic feed rollers work together with the rotor, which produces three practical results:

●Consistent throughput— material is drawn in at a steady rate rather than in surges that stall the rotor

●Less manual handling— forked branches and bushy material are pulled through rather than pushed in by hand

●Better safety margin— the operator’s hands stay clear of the infeed opening

The required hydraulic flow is at least 4L/min. That figure is worth checking against the tractor before purchase, since a machine rated for 30hp still needs the tractor’s hydraulics to be up to the feed system’s demand.

Anti-Jam and Auto-Reverse

Even with a hydraulic feed, material can bind. The Foreler 07 PTO handles this with an automatic anti-jam function: when the rotor senses resistance beyond its tolerance, the feed reverses automatically to clear the blockage rather than forcing the operator to stop, dismount and clear it by hand.

Feed speed is adjusted steplessly through a solenoid valve, so the operator can slow the feed for dense hardwood and open it up for softer material without changing gear or stopping the machine. A touch screen controller puts that adjustment at the operator’s position.

7-Inch Capacity and Disc Design

The Foreler 07 PTO takes material up to 7 inches (17.7cm) in diameter through an 8″ × 7″ (20 × 18cm) infeed opening, feeding into a 27-inch (68cm) disc rotor weighing 87kg and carrying four chipper knives.

The hopper opening is 26″ × 22″ (66 × 56cm), which is generous enough to take bushy material and leafy branches without stripping them down first. A disc chipper of this size produces a consistent chip, which is what most buyers want for mulch, path covering or compost bulking.

Discharge and Handling

The discharge chute sits 74 inches (185cm) above ground and rotates through a full 360 degrees. In practice that means the operator can aim the chip stream directly onto a trailer, into a heap, or away from a boundary without repositioning the machine.

The unit weighs 360kg and mounts on a CAT1 or CAT2 three-point linkage at a PTO height of 39 inches (100cm). Its open dimensions are 84″ × 42″ × 74″ (214 × 107 × 187cm).
