  • Product Description

    Yard cleanup does not have to mean hauling branches to the curb or burning debris piles. The DK2 OPC503 chips and shreds branches up to 3 inches in diameter and top-loads smaller debris through the hopper — turning a messy pile of yard waste into manageable mulch without the manual work that usually goes with it.

    Powered by a 7HP Kohler Command PRO CH270 engine with 10.7 ft/lb of torque, the OPC503 drives a dual cutting system — double-edge blades handle branches and woody material while hammer shredders process leaves, garden debris, and lighter organic material through the top-loading hopper. Two functions in one machine for a wider range of yard waste without switching equipment.

    At just 170 lbs with ATV-locking wheels and a 2-inch ball coupler, this is the most compact and affordable chipper shredder in the DK2 lineup — lightweight enough to move around the property easily and priced for the residential or DIY user who needs reliable chipping performance without commercial machine costs. The vertically adjustable expulsion chute deflector lets you direct chips where you want them without stopping or repositioning the machine.

    Off-road use only at a maximum of 15 MPH. EPA Phase III and CARB Phase III certified — compliant in all 50 states including California.

    Ideal For: Homeowners, hobby farmers, gardeners, and DIY property owners who need a compact, affordable towable chipper shredder for processing branches up to 3 inches and general yard debris without the size or cost of a commercial machine.

Q&A

Q: What is the difference between the OPC503 and the larger DK2 chippers?
A: The OPC503 is the entry-level residential model in the DK2 chipper lineup — 3-inch branch capacity, 7HP engine, and 170 lbs assembled weight. It is the most compact and affordable option built for homeowners and DIY users. The OPC524 steps up to 4-inch capacity with a dual-belt drum transmission. The OPC505AE and OPC506 models handle 5.25 and 6.25 inches respectively for commercial and professional use. Choose the OPC503 if you manage standard residential yard waste and do not regularly deal with branches over 3 inches.

Q: What is the difference between the feed chute and the top-loading hopper?
A: The feed chute handles branches and woody material up to 3 inches in diameter — fed horizontally into the cutting drum. The top-loading hopper handles smaller softer material like leaves, garden clippings, and light organic debris up to 3/8 inch — dropped in from the top and processed by the hammer shredders. Together they handle a wider range of yard waste than a single-function chipper.

Q: Can this chipper be towed on public roads?
A: No. The OPC503 is off-road use only with a maximum speed of 15 MPH — designed for moving around your property, not highway towing.

Q: Is this chipper available in California?
A: Yes. The OPC503 is EPA Phase III and CARB Phase III certified — fully compliant in all 50 states including California.

Q: What warranty does this chipper come with?
A: The Kohler engine carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty. The DK2 chassis carries a separate 1-year limited warranty.
