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. 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 RC1824 chipper with a biggest-in-class 38 diameter by 24 wide drum powers through challenging material. All this performance comes in a package thats only 192 long with the feed table folded.
