DuraTech has harnessed the grinding technology of its massive tub and horizontal grinders and implemented it in the new TC-15 Tree Chipper.
With a 129 HP (96 kW) CAT C4.4 diesel engine and PT-Tech clutch, the powerful TC-15 can grind trees and limbs up to 15 inches in diameter. The TC-15 features a spring-loaded feed wheel with adjustable down pressure, an optional height sensor that automatically adjusts the feed roller to material size, an optional hydraulic gathering winch, and innovative hopper safety bars with easy and instant feed wheel shut off. Available with a pintle or ball hitch, this heavy-duty chipper is compact enough to easily tow anywhere.
Features
3" Pintle or 2-5/16" Ball Hitch
The TC-15 can be equipped with either a 3" pintle or 2-5/16" Ball hitch. Either hitch includes a safety chain and breakaway brake switch for added safety.
Patented Automated In-Feed System
The patented automated in-feed system sensor is located at the top of the hopper. After sensing the height of the log, the feed wheel will automatically adjust the feed wheel to allow larger logs to enter more easily.
360 Degree Rotating Discharge Spout
The TC-15 is equipped with a flexible discharge system that features a 360 degree hydraulic rotation and an adjustable chip spout.
PT-Tech HPTO Wet Microprocessor Controlled Clutch
The PT-Tech HPTO wet microprocessor controlled clutch has a 4 groove belt system. The HPTO clutch provides easy startups and torque overload protection for the disc, engine, and driveline. For maximum control and protection, the clutch comes with a clutch control interface.
Feed Roller with Adjustable Spring-Loaded Patented Automated In-Feed System
The feed roller is equipped with adjustable, dual spring-loaded down-pressure, which continually applies optimum downforce on material flow. The patented automated in-feed system allows the operator to walk away as the auto feed governing system handles feeding. It is also equipped with hydraulics to lift the feed roller if required.
Dual Control Panels
Control panels are accessible on both sides of the hopper. Each control panel contains an emergency stop button. An emergency bumper bar is also located on either side of the hopper for instant shut-off of the feed wheel.
Optional Gathering Winch
The optional gathering winch hydraulically helps pull larger logs up to the hopper. Free wheeling discharge allows for easier unrolling of winch.
CAT C4.4 Diesel Engine
With a CAT C4.4 129 HP (96 kW) and a PT-Tech clutch, the powerful TC-15 can grind trees and limbs up to 15 inches in diameter.
10,000 Pounds Jack
The TC-15 features a jack with a 10,000 lbs (4,536 kg) capacity.
40 Gallon Fuel / 25 Gallon Hydraulic Oil
The TC-15 features a 40 gal (152 L) fuel capacity and a 25 gal (95 L) hydraulic oil capacity.
42 Inch Chipping Disc
The chipping disc is 48” in diameter and 2” thick. There are four 9-1/4” knives in two locations on the disc. Four kickers help to discharge material from disc area. A convenient service lock pin holds the disc solid while servicing the knives on the disc.
