The Bear Cat CH4420 towable chipper makes quick work of 4 in. diameter tree limbs and prunings. This chipper comes with a standard 2 in. coupler, making it simple to tow between jobs or around a property. The CH4420 comes equipped with a 13HP Briggs & Stratton engine, and a cantilevered rotor to increase reliability and prevent material wrap with stringy, sappy, or wet woods. It’s ideal for rental applications, especially homeowners with small acreage.

How The Bear Cat CH4420 Compares To Other Chipper Options

Homeowners with small acreage and rental operations evaluating brush chippers usually face this question: should I get a light consumer-grade chipper, a basic centrifugal clutch unit, or invest in a road towable, rental-ready machine built to resist material wrap?

Here's the honest comparison:

Why The Bear Cat CH4420 Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a wood chipper, it's a road towable machine engineered to resist the material wrap that stalls out lesser chippers when working with stringy, sappy, or wet wood.

The CH4420 specifically addresses the needs of homeowners with small acreage and rental operations that need a chipper capable of handling varied material without jamming, and one that can be towed easily between job sites or around a property.

Built To Resist Material Wrap. The cantilevered rotor design is engineered specifically to increase reliability and prevent the kind of material wrap that occurs with stringy, sappy, or wet wood, a common frustration with standard rotor designs on lesser chippers.

Engineered For Consistent Chipping Quality

Four-sided, adjustable striking anvil ensures consistent chipping quality across varied material types

Oversized heat-treated chipping blades rotate at up to 3,000 RPM to keep production moving

14" diameter, 1" thick disc weighing 49 lb. provides the mass and stability needed for smooth, consistent cuts pass after pass

Built For Easy Transport And Cleanup

Standard 2" coupler makes it simple to tow between jobs or around a property without a specialized hitch setup

Ground discharge chute keeps chips low to the ground, reducing mess and debris

Optional discharge chute available for chipping directly into dump trailers

Real Savings

Cantilevered rotor reduces downtime and cleanup costs associated with material wrap jams common on standard rotor designs

Reversible, heat-treated chipping blades extend cutting life before replacement is needed

Ground discharge chute cuts down on cleanup time after each job

Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately

The Bottom Line Homeowners with small acreage and rental operations that need a dependable, easy-to-tow chipper can't afford a machine that jams on stringy or wet material. The Bear Cat CH4420 is built with a cantilevered rotor, a four-sided adjustable anvil, and a road towable frame, so it keeps chipping through varied material without the downtime. For anyone managing brush and limb cleanup on a regular basis, this is the chipper built for the job.
