Dear visitors of the “SAMODELKINDRUG” website, from the material presented you will learn how to independently make a wood chipper based on a walk-behind tractor, while spending a minimum of money. Farming on summer cottage associated naturally with the earth, trees, plants. In autumn or spring, gardeners often prune fruit trees: apple tree, plum tree, pear tree, etc., sometimes you end up with quite a lot of cut branches, which should be put somewhere later. Basically, they are taken outside the dacha village and thrown away, or gradually burned.
But when the right approach, they can be crushed and placed in compost heap, thereby producing excellent compost. For this you will need a chopper, of course you can buy it in the store, but this is not our way! For household, as much as possible you need to do it yourself!

The process of creating a wood chipper based on a walk-behind tractor.
And so, in the photo of the device provided by the author, let's figure out how everything works here. First, the author welded the frame from a channel, then drilled holes and secured the drive shaft mounting brackets. As you can see, a cutting knife from an electric planer is installed on the shaft, and a stationary knife is attached to the frame, and during the rotation created by the walk-behind tractor drive, the loaded branch turns into dust. For the convenience of loading branches, the author made a small hopper from 3 mm steel. 
Next, the chopper is attached to the front of the walk-behind tractor, bolted on, and the drive belt is put on the pulleys of the walk-behind tractor and the chopper. 
Then the author starts the walk-behind tractor and activates the chopper mechanism. The flood simply feeds the branches into the hopper, and the crushed dust simply flies off to the side. 
Our author got such a simple and cheap shredder to make, which he is very happy about, because now the site will be in order, and compost pit will be filled to capacity.

Sometimes, to keep your garden in order, you need to remove trash and mow the grass. A device such as a branch chopper for a walk-behind tractor was invented in order to reduce the amount of dry brushwood. There are a huge number of these models on the market. However, if you wish, you can make such a device yourself using improvised means.
Dry twigs may remain on your site after cutting firewood or pruning trees. As a result, a huge mound can form that needs to be disposed of. The most known option It is customary to send wood for compost. However, this process may take away from you a large number of time, and the branches themselves spoil the aesthetic appearance.
Therefore, the optimal solution is a wood splitter for chopping large sticks and giving them small sizes that can be used to light a stove and so on. This attachment for a walk-behind tractor has many positive qualities. Among them are:
Before you start such a unit at home, decide in advance why exactly you are going to grind something. This directly depends on the type and design of the device. In general, all garden waste machines can be divided according to parameters: power and type of engine used, as well as the type and operating principle of the shredding unit.
As you know, any type of car is equipped with an engine. So this device has 2 types of motors:
Each of these types has its own pros and cons. For example, a unit with a gasoline engine copes much better with large branches. Such models are more mobile, and they do not require an electrical outlet.
Sometimes the chopper can be used as an attachment for a walk-behind tractor, tractor and other types of machines. Then it's best to use electric version. Compared to gasoline, it is more compact and easier to operate. But electrical devices very attached to the place of connection.
Another feature of such garden devices is the design of the knives. The quality of grinding depends on them. For example, some devices can process tree branches about 10 cm long. The result depends on the diameter of the sticks and the processing method.
The next device is a combined design that processes large pieces of wood and produces small sawdust. In the unit, the main role is played by the disk and knives directly connected to the engine. Due to the low torque, such a device cuts only very thin branches.
Assembling the structure for grinding wooden sticks- a very difficult job. However, if you do everything correctly, you will save your money, which cannot be said about buying in hardware stores.
In addition to saving, homemade cars There is a whole list of positive qualities:
Having decided to assemble a shredder, you must prepare all the necessary materials:
Then proceed to the assembly itself, which takes place in several stages:
Your log splitter is ready and you can get to work with ease.
As it turned out, homemade wood splitter- a very useful and irreplaceable thing in agriculture. Although the knives of this device cannot chop large logs, they can easily cut through small twigs.
By assembling the shredder yourself, you get the opportunity to choose all the necessary parameters that make the work easy.
This is the main advantage of homemade products over factory-made analogues.

Every summer resident and gardener loves his plot to always be clean, and to make it convenient and easier for a summer resident to maintain order, he needs a branch shredder. A chopper for branches, also called a wood splitter, for a walk-behind tractor is a specialized, functional attachment for processing grass and branches. Shredded branches processed into sawdust are also good fertilizer for your garden.

The main thing is to focus on the blade system (disc or milling) and the type of engine (electric or gasoline).
Electric shredders are quiet, easy to maintain, but sensitive to power surges, and process branches up to 4.5 cm in diameter. Gasoline engines are powerful, process virtually any waste, but are noisy.
A branch chopper for a walk-behind tractor is a good thing, but not everyone can afford to buy it. Therefore, the optimal solution is to make a shredder for cuttings and herbs with your own hands. This is certainly not easy work, but it is worth it.
There are many advantages to a homemade branch chopper: the ability to independently choose the number of knives needed for work; the power of the unit, the diameter of the branches and, of course, the low price.
The design, if understood correctly, is quite simple. The grinding apparatus consists of:
A self-made branch chopper for a walk-behind tractor is a cutting mechanism mounted on a frame.
