If your work site often changes between fields, forests, or roadsides, a stationary wood chipper obviously cannot meet your needs. This is exactly the value of a pull behind wood chipper – it comes with tires and a towing hitch, so a pickup truck or tractor can easily pull it to any location where chipping is needed. Whether you are dealing with broken branches after a typhoon or clearing infected wood to prevent pine wilt disease, it allows you to work anytime, anywhere. Below, we will help you fully understand YG series products from three aspects: chipping capacity, price factors, and daily maintenance, and also tell you how to choose the right wood chipper for branches.【WhatsApp/WeChat/Phone】+86 13837122632

Can a YG Pull Behind Wood Chipper Chip Large Diameter Branches?
Yes, and it performs excellently. For branches within 130mm in diameter, the dual-chipping function of blade cutting and high-speed air flow impact on the YG-6130 is more than enough. The YG-6145 is designed for heavy-duty tasks, capable of chipping thick branches up to 250mm in diameter, including hardwoods like poplar and sycamore. The machine uses 4 moving knives and 1 stationary knife, and the high-speed air flow generated by the rotor repeatedly impacts the material, achieving a much higher chipping rate than ordinary wood chippers. Whether for typical applications of a wood chipper for branches or for processing infected wood (such as pine wilt disease control), the YG series is up to the task.
Factors Affecting the Price of a YG Pull Behind Wood Chipper
If you are looking for a wood chipper machine for sale, the price of the YG series is mainly determined by the following points:
- Power configuration: The higher the diesel engine power, the higher the price. The YG-6130 is equipped with a 23.6KW diesel engine, while the YG-6145 has a 75KW engine – the latter has significantly higher power costs. Also, electric start versions are slightly more expensive than recoil start versions.
- Chipping capacity: The diameter of the knife roller, the number of blades, and the maximum branch diameter directly affect manufacturing costs. The YG-6145’s 500mm knife roller and 250mm chipping capacity make it more expensive than the YG-6130.
- Smart system: Models equipped with electronic monitoring, automatic feed control, and a 360-degree rotatable discharge chute cost more, but these features significantly improve work efficiency and safety.
- Towing hitch and tires: As a reliable trailer wood chipper, adding a heavy-duty tow bar, highway tires, and shock-absorbing axles increases cost, but in return you get the convenience of working across different sites.
Maintenance and Care Guide for a Trailer Wood Chipper
- Daily check: Before use, check if the blades are sharp and if any bolts are loose. Worn blades should be replaced or sharpened promptly, otherwise they will reduce chipping efficiency and increase fuel consumption.
- Lubrication system: Add grease to the bearings every 8 hours of operation; check the gearbox oil level every 50 hours. Change the diesel engine oil and filter according to the manual.
- Clean the feed and discharge openings: Prevent wood chips from clogging the discharge chute. YG machines have a 360-degree quick-adjust discharge nozzle that can spray chips directly into a transport vehicle, but you still need to clean out any residue after use.
- Long-term storage: If the machine will not be used for more than one month, drain the diesel fuel, clean the entire machine, and store it in a dry, ventilated place. Keep tire pressure at the standard value to avoid rubber aging.
- Replacement cycle for wear parts: The moving knives and stationary knife generally need replacement after every 200-300 tons of material processed, depending on wood hardness and the presence of debris.
How to Choose the Right Pull Behind Wood Chipper?
- Determine your capacity needs: If your daily processing volume is below 2 tons per hour, choose the YG-6130; for landscaping companies or tree farms, the YG-6145 is recommended – its 5 tons/hour efficiency greatly reduces working time.
- Pay attention to maximum branch diameter: If you often handle thick branches, check the machine’s maximum chipping capacity. The YG-6145 can easily chip branches up to 250mm in diameter, while the YG-6130 is suitable for branches within 130mm.
- Consider mobility: A true pull behind wood chipper should be equipped with tires and a towing hitch so it can move with the vehicle. Both YG models can be fitted with a towing hitch, allowing you to reach the site quickly whether for field work or roadside maintenance.
- Check smart features: The intelligent feed system automatically senses engine load – it stops feeding when the load is too high and resumes automatically when it returns to normal, protecting the engine and reducing manual operation.
