Hydraulic Feed and IntelliFEED Control
The BX102RI uses dual hydraulic feed rollers to draw material into the chipper, with the tractor supplying 4–8 gpm (15–30 L/min) of hydraulic flow. The IntelliFEED / P3 PULSE system provides electronic feed control and rapid-recovery automatic reverse to help manage the feed process. IntelliFEED requires a 12 VDC, 2 A electrical connection from the tractor.
Chipping System
A 36-inch rotor fitted with four knives supports the BX102RI’s 10-inch chipping capacity. The 10-inch by 17-inch housing opening accommodates the stated material capacity, while reversible rotor knives and a dual-blade twig breaker are included in the chipping system. The discharge hood rotates through 360 degrees to help direct processed material where required.
