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.
