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 paperquality 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 .
Owners have the option of

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 highquality 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 .
