Beyondtech Apex Shredder — The skid steer wood chipper that Lets Cat, Bobcat & Kubota Loaders Turn Storm Debris, Orchard Prunings, and Logging Slash into Revenue-Ready Chips
Share
Tree work rarely ends once the sawdust settles. Piles of limbs, brush, and off-cuts linger at the row end, the driveway, or the landing—each heap a trip hazard, a mulch bill, or a bonfire waiting to violate a burn ban. Renting a tow-behind chipper is expensive, jockeying trailers is tedious, and parking an extra engine beside the loader feels like overkill when hydraulic horsepower is already idling on-site.
Beyondtech’s answer is the hydraulic wood chipper line-up: bolt-on, flow-hungry drum machines that transform any Cat, Bobcat, or Kubota skid steer into a compact yet utterly ruthless chipping station. Hook up two flat-face couplers, drop the safety bar, ease the sticks forward—and brush vanishes in a blizzard of perfectly sized mulch.
Built Around the Drum, Not the Hype
Inside every Beyondtech housing spins a machined steel rotor capped with double edge blade chipper knives. Each knife seats into a dowel-pinned pocket and locks beneath Grade-8 bolts, giving the tool a dual edged knife chipper personality: flip once the edge dulls, keep slicing, then change blades on the tailgate in minutes. The body itself is thick, laser-slotted plate folded into a one-piece shell—a true steel body wood chipper tested to shrug off kicked-back knots and sap-wet logs that snap lesser skins.
Drive comes in two flavors. Contractors feeding steady diameter pulpwood opt for the direct drive chipper—minimal parts, instantaneous throttle feel, unstoppable stall torque. Municipal crews facing mixed hedge rows prefer the belt drive wood chipper with shock-absorbing pulleys that cushion surprise spikes when an undersized loader meets an oversized limb.
That rotor rides in sealed bearings, bathes in gear lube, and spins under the control of a high torque chipper motor sized to every loader flow class. High-flow Cats in forestry spec spin at blistering RPM while smaller Bobcat and Kubota rental units still feed flogglers smoothly—proof this is a truly plug and play chipper.
Feeding Made Simple, Safe, and Smooth
Brush goes in through a 94 inch feeding width chipper throat—yes, a mouth wide enough to swallow gnarly crotches without the chainsaw trim dance. Dual hydraulic rollers grip using knurled teeth, creating a consistent feed chipper action that never needs the operator’s shove. Rollers pull material under a wide guard bar: knock that bar and hydraulics pause instantly, satisfying even the strictest “chipper safety shutoff” clauses in municipal purchase specs.
A spring-lofted infeed table eliminates stoop-lifting while still earning the attachment a compact loader chipper footprint for tight pruning rows. Crews stand at comfortable reach height—no overhead toss—cutting operator fatigue the first morning and validating the design’s ergonomic wood chipper brag.
Out the Spout, Into the Truck
Chips exit a welded funnel topped by a swivel chipper with spout. Rotate the spout to fill a dump box, flip the louver to spread along a woodland trail—either way the blast is controlled. An optional telescoping collar raises discharge to match high-board silage trailers, creating a truck loading wood chipper pipeline that eliminates ground piles and pitchfork reloads.
Heavy chips, thorny chips, cedar chips loaded with pitch; the fan clears them all thanks to an oversized vane cluster. And because the rotor shares a shaft with the fan, you avoid the added weight and belt tangle of separate blowers common on trailer chippers. That design choice means less drag, lower flow demand, and thus a reputation as an energy efficient tree saw—whoops, chipper—on any size loader.
Tuned for Cat, Bobcat, Kubota (and Everybody Else)
• Cat: Clamp into the coupler lugs, focus high-flow lines through the preset orifice, watch the high flow wood chipper vaporize hardwood tops.
• Bobcat: Standard flow still drives the feed rollers on time; hydrostatic creep pairs with the automatic feed chipper for zero clutch taps.
• Kubota: The low-profile boom geometry keeps the chute below roofline for orchard canopy passes—yet rotor torque matches the SVL track’s tractive bite.
Each brand sees the same universal mount chipper plate and the same sealed harness—no brand-specific harness splicing, no “option code” servo packs. And for owners of stand-on compacts, Beyondtech offers a scaled mini skid chipper edition so crews feed windbreak trimmings without bringing a full frame loader into manicured turf.
Strong Where Other Chippers Sag
The infeed floor arches upward in a subtle radius, guiding butts down, but preventing small debris from lodging under rollers—call it the “kickback reduction chipper” floor and thank it later when pallet wood meets nails. Side walls curve to match rotor arc, so every knife pass ends with a full bite; you achieve precision cutting chipper results without lost blade travel, meaning fewer passes, less fuel.
A hookup manifold houses a tiny pressure window: riders glance through polycarbonate to see green. Dip into red and the roller slows; stay in green and the stable cutting chipper hum translates into the loader seat through pleasantly low vibration mounts.
Dust and chips stay out of hydros because hoses route inside hose clamp protected lines trays that double as structural ribs. Holes cut with numeric-controlled routers flood blade pockets with carbides; these edges last shifts, not hours, fulfilling the “long life tree saw motor”… I mean blade promise.
Adaptable Edge, Multipurpose Output
Snap on dull-resistant anvils and chew hardwood tree saw leftovers into playground bedding. Fit flail bars instead of knives and the assembly becomes a mulching chipper skid steer for leaf-heavy pruning season. Choose ripple knives for a fluffier compost chipper grade that aerobic bacteria devour. A toggle latch accesses the anvil; your cordless impact flips edges roadside—true low maintenance chipper service.
Where It Pays Off
-
Storm cleanup chipper: churn piles of limb chaos into neat hopper loads while FEMA inspectors still circle.
-
Right-of-way mulcher complement: disc saw first, chipper second; biomass haulers love the uniform feedstock.
-
Poultry-house renovation: when pine posts come out, the garden waste chipper spout fills bedding trailers instead of burn pits.
-
Vineyard trimmings chipper: prunings vanish, mower tines stop dinging, floor biology sings.
-
Biofuel chipper attachment: slash from thinning contracts converts to hog fuel that co-gen plants buy by the ton.
-
Park maintenance chipper: arbor crews prune in the morning and visitors picnic on mulch that afternoon.
In every case, the loader never unloads—no forklift, no extra engine. That multiplies throughput, earning the “productivity wood chipper” and “labor saving tree saw— er—woody residue” punchlines from field supervisors.
Safety and Comfort Put Together
A low vibration wood chipper means no tingling wrists after hour three. The belt housing’s secondary guard meets ANSI debris containment spec; the feed table’s panic bar kills flow with two fingers. LED blade sightpoints show knife wear without removing doors. Step pads allow blade access from one side only—no detour in chip blast path. Pair it all with a calm loader cab and you discover an operator fatigue reduction chipper that crews willingly run the full shift.
Dollars and Downtime
Knives flip; screens wipe; no chain tension, no small gasoline engine, no weepy gearcase. Rental yards list it under “low maintenance chipper.” Professional arborists love that it swallows brush too fork-heavy for boom trucks yet too small for pulpwood. Farmers brag that the cost effective chipper beats excavator and tub grinder combos for quick post-storm cleanup. Municipal buyers point to diesel savings; after all, the loader idles during chipper work anyway—why fuel a separate piece of kit?
The Beyondtech Seal
A heavy duty chipper shell defended by double coat powder. High quality material chipper cutters ready to meet granite inclusions. An ergonomic wood chipper feed height that respects the operator’s back. Every weld QC’d, every rotor statically balanced, every hose cleaned and bagged. It’s the Beyondtech way: design for the field, build for the long haul, support like uptime is life.
Mount. Engage. Feed. Discharge. It’s that simple when your Cat, Bobcat, or Kubota meets Beyondtech’s newest attachment. Turn brush from overhead into profit underfoot and let the loader you already own make one more chore vanish in a cloud of clean cedar scent. Whoever said “chip happens” wasn’t wrong—just incomplete. With Beyondtech, chip happens fast, safe, and profitable.
