Mine is 18 at the engine, I think it's 17 at the PTO. The chipper requires at least 480rpm's at the PTO which I have but I've noticed a lot of the newer tractors are 540RPM at the PTO.
The chipper is suppose to handle 3 1/2 inch limbs but if I put anything bigger than 2 to 2 1/2 inches through it the engine will want to stall.
But I know I need something more powerful because my little Kubota just doesn't handle the type of things I'm trying to do with it. It will do everything but just more slowly.
