Gyro-Trac GT Brush Chipper Unveiled: A Revolution in Tree Care at TCI Show 2024

This year’s TCI Show in Baltimore marked an exciting milestone for Gyro-Trac as we introduced the game-changing GT Brush Chipper to the public. Known for our pioneering mulching technology, Gyro-Trac is now setting new standards in the tree care industry with our first-ever brush chipper—a machine that’s unlike any other on the market. Here’s an in-depth look at what makes the GT Brush Chipper so revolutionary.

A New Era for Brush Chipping

The GT Brush Chipper breaks away from traditional chipping methods. Typical chippers rely on a single horizontal drum and belt-driven systems that require significant power. In contrast, our chipper features twin vertical drums, each powered independently by hydraulics, eliminating the need for belts, clutches, and complex drive systems.

This all-hydraulic design translates to fewer mechanical issues, lower maintenance, and enhanced durability, making it the ideal solution for tree care professionals focused on efficiency and reliability.

Revolutionary Twin-Drum System

Most chippers chip cross-grain, which demands substantial force and results in faster wear. The GT Brush Chipper's twin drums are designed to split wood along the grain, simulating the motion of wood-splitting rather than chipping.

This innovative approach requires less power, maintains a steady flow, and avoids bogging down. The machine can handle large branches up to 15 inches in diameter with ease, smoothly breaking them down into uniform chips—no need for the operator to stop, cut, or reposition with a chainsaw.

Key Features of the GT Brush Chipper

• All-Hydraulic Design: No belts, clutches, or drive systems. Everything is hydraulically powered for smoother operation and minimal maintenance.
• Twin Vertical Drums: Instead of a single drum, the twin drums operate vertically, allowing for a unique, efficient splitting method that requires less horsepower.
• Wide Hopper and Reverse Feed: The expansive hopper easily accommodates larger branches, while the reverse feed ensures smoother intake, reducing jams and downtime.
• Smart Control Panel: The chipper’s computerized control panel senses feed conditions, maintaining consistent speed to avoid stop-and-go operation. Safety is paramount, with multiple fail-safes installed to ensure the machine stops when necessary.
• Compact and Durable: Weighing around 8,000 pounds and built to withstand tough conditions, the GT Brush Chipper is portable yet powerful, making it ideal for various tree care and landscaping applications.

Designed for Maximum Efficiency and Safety

Safety and usability are at the core of the GT Brush Chipper’s design. The machine includes several safety features—emergency stops on both sides, a fully monitored hydraulic system, and a design that minimizes operator risk.

The GT Brush Chipper’s computerized feed control ensures the tree or brush flows consistently into the chipper without sudden halts or surges, allowing tree care crews to work efficiently and safely.

Environmentally Friendly and Cost-Effective

Gyro-Trac has a history of developing environmentally friendly solutions for land clearing, and the GT Brush Chipper continues this legacy. By reducing the power required for chipping and simplifying the mechanical design, this machine offers a more fuel-efficient, eco-friendly solution that lowers operating costs. This efficiency also means less maintenance, saving both time and money for tree care businesses.

Final Thoughts

The GT Brush Chipper is more than just a new product; it represents Gyro-Trac’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the tree care industry. This machine is designed to enhance productivity, reduce maintenance, and empower tree care professionals to work more efficiently.

The TCI Show was just the beginning—we look forward to seeing how the GT Brush Chipper will transform tree care operations across the industry.
