Product Description

Bear Cat SC5540 PTO Chipper Shredder

If you have more acreage, you need more power to keep up with tree clearing, trimming and debris handling. Which makes the SC5540 the perfect machine for the job.

Bear Cat's 125 pound balanced rotor and 4 reversible chipper blades have a well-deserved reputation for converting mounds of tree branches into mounds of mulch and compost material.

Equip your new SC5540 chipper/shredder with optional 1-speed or 2-speed blower systems and it will pile the material where you want it.

Because the optional blower discharge chute rotates a full 360 degrees and is equipped with an adjustable deflector cap, precision placement of wood chips can mean filling up a pickup box, trailer or wagon for quick clean up and less labor.

*NOTE - For Use On Tractors with PTO Horsepower Ratings From 25 hp to 45 hp

Great piece of equipment

I needed to chip a huge pile of trees that I cleared from my back fence lines, averaging about 3 inches in diameter and shred leaves from a heavily wooded five acre plot and maintain it for years to come. After reviewing prices and capacities I found the SC5540 to be the pick of the litter for my current and anticipated future needs. The SC5540 chipper arrived very well packed on a pallet with a frame box structure to protect it, also heavy plastic sheeted the frame, to keep the chipper clean. It was very simple to assemble the hopper top and drive line. I am using the chipper on a John Deere 5042M and it is just what I had hoped for. It consumes a three inch fifteen foot tree in a very short time; branches cleared off, of course. I plan to use the chippings to mulch paths created by clearing the trees. I plan to get the accessory fine screen for the SC5540 to deal with the leaves and use them to mulch the extensive azalea beds on the property. This is a very sturdy piece of gear and I would recommend it to anyone with a tractor that maintains their own property as it is a great labor saver.
