Abstract
A brush chipping machine having an in-line, direct drive connection between the engine drive shaft and the rotor shaft which carries the chipping mechanism. The direct drive system allows the engine and chipping mechanism to be arranged side by side for a more compact configuration of the equipment. Belt drives and the associated maintenance and safety problems are avoided. The feed table and feed chute through which brush is fed to the chipper mechanism can be located close to the curb side of the machine for enhanced convenience and safety.
