  • Product Description

    When 4 inches is not enough, the DK2 OPC505AE steps up. Built around a 14HP Kohler Command PRO CH440 electric start engine with 22.7 ft/lb of torque, this heavy-duty towable chipper handles branches and brush up to 5.25 inches in diameter — and does it with a hydraulic feed roller that pulls material into the drum automatically so you are not manually forcing branches through the machine all day.

    The high-speed disk chipper system with auto-adjusting cutting blades and free-spinning internal teeth processes wood, brush, and yard debris fast and consistently — adapting to different material sizes without manual blade adjustment. The 600 RPM hydraulic feed roller grips and pulls material through continuously, keeping your hands away from the cutting zone and your production moving at a steady pace.

    The 69-inch expulsion chute with 180-degree tool-free rotational deflector gives you complete control over where chips land — into a trailer, a pile, or away from the work area — without stopping the machine. The extra-large reinforced feed chute handles a steady stream of material and the integrated equipment moving handles and e-stop shutoff keep operation safe and practical in any working environment.

    D.O.T. approved 16-inch all-terrain tires on a 47-inch wheelbase and a removable tow bar with 2-inch ball coupler make it easy to move between job sites — not highway towable but rated up to 25 MPH for off-road and private property use.

    EPA Phase III and CARB Phase III certified — compliant in all 50 states including California.

    Ideal For: Landscapers, land clearing contractors, serious property owners, and commercial operators who need a heavy-duty towable chipper that handles 5.25-inch branches with a hydraulic feed roller and electric start convenience for demanding daily production use.

Q&A

Q: What is the difference between the OPC505AE and the OPC524?
A: The OPC505AE is the more powerful, more capable machine. It handles branches up to 5.25 inches versus 4 inches on the OPC524, runs a larger 14HP Kohler engine versus 7HP, features a 600 RPM hydraulic feed roller that pulls material in automatically, electric start convenience, and a longer 69-inch expulsion chute. If you regularly deal with larger branches and need a hydraulic feed roller for continuous production, the OPC505AE is the right step up.

Q: What does the hydraulic feed roller do?
A: The 600 RPM hydraulic feed roller automatically grips and pulls branches into the cutting drum continuously — so you do not have to manually force material through the machine. This keeps production moving at a steady pace, reduces operator fatigue, and keeps hands safely away from the cutting zone.

Q: What are auto-adjusting cutting blades?
A: The blades automatically adapt to different material sizes and densities without manual adjustment — processing everything from small brush to 5.25-inch branches consistently without stopping to reconfigure the machine.

Q: Can this chipper be towed on public roads?
A: No. The OPC505AE is not highway towable — maximum speed is 25 MPH for off-road and private property use only.

Q: How do you access the drum for maintenance?
A: The dual swing-open chutes give you fast, tool-free access to the drum for maintenance, cleaning, and clearing — no tools needed.

Q: Is this chipper available in California?
A: Yes. The OPC505AE 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.
