This Kubota CH170 is a wood chipper — also known as a wood shredder — a machine designed to reduce branches, logs, and woody material into uniform chips for landscaping, forestry, green waste management, and biomass applications. Kubota is a well-established Japanese manufacturer known for producing compact and mid-range agricultural, construction, and outdoor power equipment, including engines, tractors, and attachments serving a broad range of industries worldwide.
Power comes from a Kubota three-cylinder diesel engine rated at 40 hp, keeping the drivetrain consistent across manufacturer and providing reliable, well-supported performance. The infeed mouth measures 170 × 170 mm, and the machine can accept timber up to 110–130 mm in diameter, making it well suited to branch and small-log processing in arborist, forestry, and land-clearance work. Chip length is produced in the range of 10–13 cm, giving a consistent output suitable for mulching or biomass use.
The discharge spout features 360-degree rotation, allowing the operator to direct the chip flow in any direction without repositioning the machine — a practical advantage when working in confined spaces or loading directly into vehicles. Throughput capacity is stated at 4 tonnes per hour. The machine is also equipped with a fast-hitch tow coupling for straightforward attachment and repositioning between sites.
The seller describes the condition as unstressed — indicating light, well-managed use — and notes that the machine is available for hire or outright purchase. It is located in the province of Verona, Italy. Year of manufacture is 2019.
