The CBI 754 disc chipper
designed for extended life and
reduced maintenance.
The chipper housing design
maximizes airflow and force to
guarantee a smooth discharge of
wood chips with more than enough
velocity to pack any trailer. The
end and vertical chute designs
have been tweaked so there’s no
resistance to wood chips and never
an issue with the chute clogging.
Beyond its strength, the 754 has
an Olympian cardiovascular system
that keeps it running at a superior
pace.
“Both the hydraulic and
electrical systems work in harmony
to feed the machine exactly the
way it needs to be fed,” said Nate
Fuller, product lead for flails and
disc chippers at CBI. “You can
hear it in the engine, it processes
endless loads and doesn’t break
a sweat – all while throwing a full
stream of quality wood chips into
a trailer.”
Unity with the 604 Flail
Debarker
Contractors producing paper-
quality chips are going to have to
debark anyways, which is why the
754 was designed specifically to
work in unison with the industry’s
most rugged delimber and
debarker. The 754 Disc Chipper
has a ‘stinger’ that slides out and
hitches to CBI’s 604 Flail debarking
machine, making it readily
compatible for advanced standards
of logging contractors who want to
debark and chip in a single pass.
An optional piece to this flail
debarker is the fully-equipped
Tigercat T-215 knuckle boom
loader. Powered by a 4.4 litre CAT
engine, the T-215 gives machine
operators the capability to load
more wood per grapple and to
make better use of machine
uptime.
The 604 Flail’s four-roll flail
design provides optimum contact
with wood to deliver maximum
debarking action. A heavy chain
curtain wipes debris clear from logs
before leaving the flail chamber.
Bark debris is discharged by a
hydraulically-actuated push ram
that forces debris from under the
machine.

We had a customer tell us they never thought
they would see a disc chipper fill a van in the
woods in less than 10 minutes

adding either a wheel-mounted
or track-mounted version of the
disc chipper. The 754’s design and
heavy duty D7 Berco tracks give it
optimum mobility and capacity to
tow itself and the 604 Flail, so a
separate tractor isn’t needed.
Together, the 754 and 604 can
be transported down logging roads
to reduce downtime and skidder
travel distance. CBI was the first to
synchronize the disc chipper and
flail to a single control system that
can be operated from one radio
remote.
7544 Flail & Disc Chipper a
standalone combination
A synthesis of the CBI Magnum
Force Flail 604 and the CBI
Magnum Force 754 Disc Chipper,
the newly released 7544 Flail/Disc
Chipper combo offers a standalone
solution for foresters who need
maximum debarking and high-
quality chip production all in one
unit. The machine comes standard
with three flails and the option
to add a fourth for whole tree
debarking. The 7544 is 53 ft long,
whereas the 604 and 754 combo is
72 ft 4 in.
