Side Feed 2-Pack PRO series
Description
The Brush Buddy Side Feed is part of our Pro Series, designed for most larger, tow-behind commercial wood chippers. For smaller wood chippers, choose the appropriately sized Brush Buddy paddle from our smaller-chipper series.
The Brush Buddy Side Feed is sold in packs of two so each wood chipper can be equipped with two designated safety paddles, helping crews maintain consistent safe operating practices at all times.
The Side Feed features our patented side-feed design, allowing the operator to stand safely to the side of the chipper while moving and directing brush, limbs, and loose woody debris into the hopper.
This side-positioned design helps keep the operator out of the direct path of material entering the feed system. During roadside operations, it also allows the operator to work from the curb or shoulder side whenever practical, helping reduce exposure to passing traffic.
The Side Feed also gives the operator a clearer view of debris being fed by a coworker. This allows the operator to watch the material and follow it toward the hopper with the Side Feed push paddle.
Features
Patented Side-Feed Design: Allows the operator to stand to the side of the chipper while moving and directing debris into the hopper.
Safer Operator Positioning: Helps keep the operator out of the direct path of brush, limbs, and debris entering the feed system.
Roadside Safety: Allows operators to work from the curb or shoulder side whenever practical, helping reduce exposure to passing traffic.
Improved Visibility: Gives the operator a clearer view of material being fed into the chipper by a coworker.
Follow-Through Control: Allows the operator to watch, follow, and guide loose debris toward the hopper with the Side Feed push paddle.
Safer Hand Positioning: Helps operators direct brush while keeping their hands and body away from the chipper’s infeed area.
Reduced Hand Feeding: Reduces the need to push brush and woody debris toward the chipper by hand.
All-Wood Construction: Made entirely from wood with no metal components or fasteners.
Foreign-Object Prevention: Provides an alternative to metal rakes and shovels that may accidentally introduce stones, nails, sweepings, metal, or other non-woody material into the chipper.
Blade Protection: The all-wood construction helps protect chipper knives from damage caused by metal tools.
Crew-Focused Safety: Provides tree-care companies with a designated wood chipper tool for more consistent operating practices across crews and jobsites.
Supports ANSI Safe Work Practices
The Brush Buddy Side Feed is designed to provide additional support for safe work practices addressed by applicable ANSI requirements:
ANSI 9.6.10: Hands, feet, and other parts of the body shall not pass beyond the plane of the infeed hopper.
ANSI 9.6.11: Operators shall feed brush and logs from the side of the feed-table centerline and step away when material is taken into the rotor or feed rollers.
ANSI 9.6.12: During roadside operations, operators should work from the curb or shoulder side whenever practical to help prevent stepping into traffic or being pushed toward traffic by material being fed into the chipper.
ANSI 9.6.14: Non-woody material such as stones, nails, or sweepings shall not be fed into chippers.
