When a chipper feeds better, it makes life easier for the operator.  This was the objective held by the RAYCO engineers when they created the RC1824.  The RC1824 was given a powerful feed system to pull in brush, limbs, and logs easier, with less trimming.  Dual, horizontal feed wheels are off-set to minimize material kick-up.  A 24” diameter top feed wheel is powered by a planetary drive motor and easily climbs over large logs without operator assistance.  The chipper throat is 24” wide, straight through to and dead space between feed wheels and chipper drum is minimized. This 18” capacity drum chipper is compact and powerful, featuring a standard 130hp Cummins engine or an optional 160hp Cummins turbo diesel. The engine is rubber isolated for smooth operation. The biggest-in-class chipper drum is 38” diameter by 24” wide to power through challenging material.  All this performance comes in a package that’s only 187.5” long with the feed table folded.
