PRODUCT DETAILS

Why the Gas-Powered DC-1260 Wood Chipper is Superior

The DC-1260 wood chipper boasts many advantageous features that provide customers with maximum efficiency and ease of use. Compared to competitors, you’ll find it yields a quality chipping experience met with excellent customer service both pre and post purchase. These small but mighty gas-powered chippers truly fit the bill for the best gas-powered chipper on the market today. Between our exclusive to WoodMaxx heavy duty EPDM belt drive, easy to access safety features, and robust warranty, you won’t find a gas-powered chipper like this anywhere else.

Heavy Duty EPDM Belt Drive- Exclusive to WoodMaxx

The DC-1260 woodchippers are equipped with the industrial strength 3-belt drive system. These EPDM rubber compound high temp rated belts have superior combination of flex and load carrying capacity. They also meet SAE standard size BX40. The advantage of 3 belts is a more evenly distributed load and prolonging belt life.

Optional Vanguard 400 OHV 25V3 Commercial Series Engine Upgrade

The WoodMaxx DC-1260 comes standard with the high performing and durable Vanguard 400 OHV 25V3 Commercial Series engine. This is a 14hp engine that features simplified 3-step starting, eliminates fuel/ oil dilution, optimizes fuel management, reduces noise/vibration, and allows for more efficient power management. Please click here to learn more.

Centrifugal Clutch

The centrifugal clutch allows for easy starting by keeping the belt drive disengaged until engine RPM is increased. The clutch automatically adjusts itself for varying loads, ensuring the engine maintains its optimal torque range and delivers the best performance to the chipping drum.

12″ x 6″ Infeed Opening with Rubber Chip Baffle

The WoodMaxx DC-1260 offers a 12″ x 6″ infeed to easily accept those crooked branches. The recommended chipping width is 4″ soft greenwood and 2″ seasoned hardwood. This is a self-feeding, gravity assisted design with a sloped infeed bin (strong branches must be trimmed). The infeed rate is 50 ft./min. This machine is also equipped with a rubber baffle feature that protects the user from chip blow-back.

Adjustable Bed (Anvil Knife) with 2 High Carbon Tool Steel Reversible Knives

The WoodMaxx DC-1260 is equipped with (2) high carbon tool steel reversible knives and (1) bed knife to ensure the proper knife gap is achieved. This feature allows the user to adjust the distance between the flywheel knife and the bed knife so that the required distance is maintained after knife sharpening. Proper gap is important so that even the smallest material is chipped as it passes through the chipper. Click here to learn how long your chipper knives will last.

Hinged Infeed Hopper-Easy Knife Access

All woodchippers will require some routine maintenance like adjusting the gap between the bed knife and the flywheel knives as they wear. This gap is essential to proper operation of the woodchipper. The infeed hopper on the WoodMaxx DC-1260 swings open to expose the bed knife, allowing the user to access the knife to make adjustments. Simply remove 2 bolts and the hopper will swing open like a door. The feature is exclusive to WoodMaxx. Other chippers require the user to crawl into the infeed hopper to change the bed knife or adjust the gap between the bed knife and the flywheel knives.

360 Degree Swivel Discharge Chute

This chipper is equipped with a 360 Degree Swivel Discharge Chute allowing you to direct the chips into a trailer or the back of a pickup truck without having to move the entire machine.

Digital Hour Meter/Tachometer

The WoodMaxx DC-1260 digital hour meter ensures proper maintenance intervals.

16×8.0-7 Tires

These chippers come standard with a pair of 2-ply rugged directional tires. These tires can handle all sorts of obstacles from the streets to the job site. The wheelbase is 31″ wide for easy travel through trails, fence gates, etc. If a wider wheelbase is needed, we offer a 12″ base extension kit.

Removable Tow Hitch (2″ ball)

The WoodMaxx DC-1260 features a removable tow hitch for easy storage and a convenient traveling experience. This is also considered a safety feature.

2 Heavy Duty Main Shaft Bearings

The main shaft bearings on the DC-1260 woodchipper passes through the flywheel housing and is supported by two industrial flange bearings. This feature, combined with the heavy-duty shaft, allows the flywheel to run extremely true, while adding a great deal of strength.

Safety Stop Bar

Safety is paramount on WoodMaxx woodchippers. Located at the top of the infeed bin, the DC-1260 utilizes an electrical safety switch to shut the engine down. Simply push down the safety bar and the engine will come to a halt in seconds.

Rust Resistant Powder Coat Finish

This is high impact, UV stable, fade-resistant polyester powder coating that is baked on at 450 degrees. Powder coating finish is thicker and more durable than ordinary paint.

Machine 90% Assembled Upon Delivery

The WoodMaxx DC-1260 comes shipped to you in a wooden container and is almost completely assembled. Simply attach the infeed bin, discharge chute, wheels, and tow hitch.
