New Peterson 5900EL Disc Chipper!

Eugene, Ore. - Peterson's popular 5900 disc chipper has been further enhanced with key features that high-volume chipping operations demand.
The new 5900EL (Extended Length) features an 11-foot (3.3 meter) feed deck, PT Tech hydraulic clutch, direct drive for the internal feed rolls, a totally enclosed CAT C18 engine, and is Tier 4 ready.
The Peterson model 5900EL disc chipper is built to produce high quality paper chips when paired with a Peterson model 4800 debarker or fuel chips as a stand alone fuel wood chipper. The same high quality chipping components have been used for many years in Peterson's 5000H delimber/debarker/chipper.
The 5900EL has a large feed throat capable of accepting up to a 23 inch (563mm) diameter tree or multiple smaller diameter stems. The 5900EL is provided with a standard three knife disc, and is also available with an optional four knife disc. Peterson's heavy-duty 66 inch (1676mm) diameter 4.75 inch (121mm) thick chipper disc has a replaceable 0.5 inch (13mm) thick wear plate. Chipping production rates from 60--100 tons (55--90 tonnes) can be achieved depending on chip size.
