i have a chipper-shreader TROYBUILT CS4210 with a motor briggs and stratton POWERBUILT 10 HP .
right now the engine need a major rebuilt or replacement with not many choice of engine .i have a WHEEL HORSE D180 complete with a 3 points an a pto in a very good condition ,knowning the age of the tractor ,probably 1975.
SO i would like to know if i could use the tractor pto to activate my chipper instead of an engine powered .the actual engine use to run it @ 3600 rpm . could i use my tractor by making a drive n`shaft to fit on the pto without killing my old engine K482 ,it will probably cut the cost of the engine 10 hp .
so i am debating right now all the good and bad points .i did have the suggestion of two repondants about the speed to activate a chipper (THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU )
i am only using my chipper for composting no branches or woods goes in .THANKS for all the suggestions from all of you .
