Wow — I see how the height of the stand is adjustable. Gotta check to see if my WC68 has that too, although current level is just right. Love the design that goes into these chippers.I can adjust the height of the stand. 3” increments with a total of 6” available. I’m thinking 3” would be plenty and would take a good amount of that angle out.

Since I’m clueless on these….where’s a good place to get one? I assume it just installs inline on the PTO shaft itself?an overrunning clutch lets the pto brake on the tractor stop the pto from moving but allow the shaft going to the chipper to still spin forwards so that the chipper can wind down on its own instead of forcing the pto brake to stop the chipper. Most implements it is not an issue, but a huge flywheel spinning even at idle is a lot for that poor brake to handle. They are cheap compared to the brake repair
Thanks! I did read/follow the manual and did loosen that fitting. Raised it one notch and then re-tightened it.Before you adjust the height of the chipper, loosen the hydraulic fittings between the base and the chipper. I didn't and when the base dropped, it put a strain on the hoses. (This is covered in the manual) Luckily, no damage was done.
My two 5xxx series tractors don't have a PTO brake. After disengaging the PTO clutch... I just let the brush hog and chipper wind down from speed.
