2015 DR Power Equipment 14.50 Pro, Manual-Start Chipper / Shredder

Commercial-Grade Clutch

• The commercial-grade centrifugal clutch used on our chippers is similar to those used in well drilling. There is no load on the engine until it reaches 1,600 rpm. If you do manage to find a branch tough enough to slow the engine to 1,600 rpm, the clutch will automatically disengage the engine until it's back up to speed.

Free-Swinging Hammers

• The Pro model features 24 free swinging hammers that shred garden waste, lawn clippings, and weeds into useful, nutrient-rich mulch for your garden and flower beds. Each long-lasting hammer has 3 positions, allowing you to switch to a fresh set of shredding edges when performance starts to decline.

Heavy-Duty Steel Frame

• Many chippers look like they’re built to sit in one place. DR Chippers are made to be on the move, so you can get your chipper wherever you need to be on your property. We use rugged, welded-steel frames designed to withstand transport over punishing terrain year after year.

It's Yard Towable

• The Pro model includes a pin-hitch, so you can transport it to your jobsite with a lawn tractor or ATV.

Massive Solid-Steel Flywheel

• The Pro model's chipping knife is mounted to a flywheel that is cut from heavy steel (3/4 in. thick) and weighs 17 lbs. The spinning flywheel provides the inertia necessary for the chipper knife to power through knotty, hardwood branches at an incredible 45 bites per second.

Over-Sized Hoppers

• The Pro model’s chipper hopper opening (10 x 13.5 in.) accepts 3 in. branches with little or no trimming of side branches. The shredder hopper opening is 12 x 18 in., big enough to accept multiple stalks of quarter-inch thickness or less along with side branches and leaves.

Powerful Vanguard Engine

• The Pro model Chipper / Shredder is powered by a high-end Vanguard model Briggs & Stratton engine. With 14.50 ft. lbs. of torque, it has plenty of power for tough projects and outstanding durability.
