Because our knives are made of high-carbon/high-chromium forged alloy tool steel, they can go significantly longer than the knives on most “bargain” chippers without sharpening. Still, as with any cutting tool, keeping a sharp edge is important for maintaining peak performance. When the chipper starts to “bog” down, and/or vibrates and requires that you regularly force the material downward into the chipper chute, it’s usually a sign that the knife is dulling. Many customers choose to get an extra knife to have on hand. That way, you can keep working with a minimum of downtime.
This Knife Kit is for the 16.50 FPT and 3 Point Hitch DR Rapid-Feed Chippers manufactured in 2015 or after.
The replacement DR Rapid-Feed Chipper Knife Kit comes with all the necessary hardware.
