Product Description

Already have a lawn tractor or ATV? The DK2 OPC513 hooks right up with a standard hitch pin coupler and turns your existing machine into a chipping and shredding station. At just 136.7 lbs it is the lightest, most compact chipper shredder in the DK2 lineup — easy to move, easy to store, and priced for the homeowner who needs reliable yard waste processing without a large investment.

Powered by a 6.5HP Kohler RH265 engine with double-edge chipping blades and quad hammer shredders, the OPC513 chips branches up to 3 inches through the side feed chute and processes garden debris and brush up to 3/8 inch through the top-loading hopper. The included 4.3-bushel chip bag collects the output so you can use it directly on garden beds as mulch or dispose of it easily without chasing chips around the yard.

The vertically adjustable expulsion chute deflector gives you chip direction control, the drop stand makes setup stable and quick, and the extra-large feed chutes handle a steady stream of material for continuous processing without constant stops.

Simple, practical, and built for the residential property owner who wants to chip and shred yard waste without overcomplicating things or overspending on a machine they will use a few times a year.

Ideal For: Homeowners, gardeners, and hobby farmers who tow with a lawn tractor or ATV and need a compact, lightweight chipper shredder for managing branches, leaves, and garden debris without the size or cost of a larger machine.

Q&A

Q: What is the difference between the OPC513 and the OPC503?
A: The OPC513 uses a lawn tractor and ATV hitch pin coupler versus the 2-inch ball coupler on the OPC503 — making it specifically designed for lawn tractor and ATV towing. It is also lighter at 136.7 lbs versus 170 lbs, has smaller wheels, a shorter handle, and includes a 4.3-bushel chip bag for collecting output. The OPC503 uses a 7HP CH270 engine with a 3-year warranty versus the 6.5HP RH265 with a 2-year warranty on the OPC513. Choose the OPC513 if you tow with a lawn tractor or ATV and want a chip collection bag included.

Q: What vehicles can tow this chipper?
A: The OPC513 uses a standard lawn tractor and ATV hitch pin coupler — compatible with most riding lawn mowers, garden tractors, and ATVs equipped with a standard hitch receiver. If you are unsure whether your machine is compatible, feel free to reach out and we will confirm the right fit.

Q: What does the 4.3-bushel chip bag do?
A: The included chip bag attaches to the expulsion chute and collects chipped and shredded material as the machine runs — giving you a convenient way to collect mulch for garden beds or dispose of yard waste without chasing chips around the yard.

Q: Can this chipper be towed on public roads?
A: No. The OPC513 is off-road use only with a maximum speed of 15 MPH — designed for moving around your property behind a lawn tractor or ATV.

Q: Is this chipper available in California?
A: Yes. The OPC513 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 2-year manufacturer warranty. The DK2 chassis carries a separate 1-year limited warranty.
