Time is money. You’ve heard this before and you’re dedicated to your rental equipment business and know how important it is to keep customers happy and equipment running. You do this by being as efficient as possible when it comes to every aspect of your business. Time is one of your most valuable resources. Reduce maintenance, transfer power, save time and money, and watch your business grow by adding a Crary Bear Cat PTO Chipper. These are the six reasons why adding a PTO Chipper to your rental equipment lineup is the smart choice:
- Save time on hooking up, transporting, and storing:
Every PTO model is equipped with a standard 3-point hookup and 6-spline PTO shaft. Your customers can back up to the unit and go. Quick and easy. In case your customers need to haul it to their job site or tractor, these PTO Chippers even come with a factory-welded lifting hook on the body if you need to move your machine with a hook lift. This makes it easy to place on a trailer or in the bed of a pickup. The stand legs fit comfortably on a standard pallet for easy moving with pallet forks. Plus, models with a Digital Display Controller (DDC), like the CH5540H, include wiring to connect directly to either a tractor’s battery or an outside battery to get your customers up and running quickly. Crary Bear Cat PTO Chippers are ready for transport. A well-balanced design means picking up a unit and moving it into position with a tractor’s 3-point hitch is no sweat.
- Intuitive digital control:
Put the power of the PTO machine into your hands with the easy-to-use DDC (Digital Display Controller) from Crary Bear Cat. Soft-touch buttons and a rotating screen make operation and maintenance a breeze, no matter what angle you’re working from. The DDC’s color screen quickly shows the operator when the machine is ready to run with an easy-to-see green icon. Run diagnostics, troubleshoot, and get maintenance reminders right from the DDC. No more counting hours between check-ups! Quickly manage maintenance between rental customers easily with the DDC controller.
- Safety features for your peace of mind (and for your business insurance):
Have peace of mind keeping you and your customers safe with Crary Bear Cat PTO machine built-in safety features. Two large E-stop buttons directly above the hopper and a knee-stop bar running the entire length of the hopper will quickly stop the machine in case of an emergency. Every new PTO unit comes with safety glasses and ear protection to help get you equipped from the moment you hook up to your tractor.
- World-class chipping power and high-strength blades:
Crary Bear Cat PTO machines are hungry and ready to go to work! Hydraulic models come equipped with adjustable feed rollers, giving you the option to match the machine with the wood coming in. Chipping blades are reversible and offset, doubling the wear life. The four-sided anvil is also quickly adjustable for optimal efficiency. Plus, certain models in the 4- to 6-inch category also have the ability to shred materials to ¾ of an inch, like the SC5540B Chipper/Shredder.
- Easy maintenance to save you time:
Spend less time on maintenance. Your Digital Display Controller will give you reminders when maintenance is needed. Only two bolts to access the rotor housing means you don’t have to waste time fighting with hardware to get to your machine. Plus, the chipping core has easy-access greaseable bearings. And if you ever need them, Crary Bear Cat’s dedicated service team is only a call away. Plus, with built-in QR codes on your DDC, service tips are only a scan away. Crary Bear Cat offers Quick Tip service videos too, all designed to help you get the most out of your machine.
