Product Description
Everything the OPC506 delivers — plus electric start with battery included. The DK2 OPC506E is the same heavy-duty 6.25-inch capacity cyclonic drum chipper with the same 14HP Kohler Command PRO CH440 engine, the same 11.75-inch double-edge reversible blades, and the same cast iron rotating deflector — with one practical upgrade that makes a real difference on cold mornings and long production days. Turn the key and chip. No pull-start, no wrestling the cord, no interruption to your workflow.
The auto-adjusting cyclonic drum chamber processes trees and brush up to 6.25 inches in diameter fast and thoroughly — adapting to different material sizes without manual adjustment and without jamming. The 59-inch expulsion chute with adjustable cast iron rotating deflector gives you precise chip direction control that holds up through daily commercial use without cracking or wearing down.
Large tool-free swing-open chutes with integrated equipment moving handles give you fast drum access and easy machine repositioning. The premium built-in toolbox keeps your tools on the machine where you need them. The key shutoff with lockout safety switch prevents unauthorized or accidental operation. The extended 48-inch safety stability axle with D.O.T. approved 17.5-inch tires and drop stand with 2-inch ball coupler keeps the machine stable during operation and easy to move between locations.
If you are already considering the OPC506 and want the convenience of electric start included in the package — this is the one to buy.
Ideal For: Land clearing contractors, commercial landscapers, serious property owners, and forestry operators who need the largest capacity DK2 chipper with the added convenience of electric start for demanding daily commercial use without pull-start frustration.
