Key Features

 

Powerful & Efficient
Driven by a 15 HP / 420cc 4-stroke gasoline engine, the GS120-121 delivers ample torque and smooth operation. The drum cutting system, with dual moving blades and a fixed counter blade, effortlessly chips hardwood branches up to 120 mm in diameter. Output chips are uniform and clean.
 

Electric Start - Effortless Ignition
The standard electric start system allows one-key ignition - no more exhausting pull-starts. A backup recoil starter is also included for peace of mind during remote field operations.
 

All-Terrain Mobility
Equipped with 16-inch all-terrain pneumatic tires and a standard ball-hitch tow bar, the GS120-121 can be easily towed behind pickup trucks, ATVs, tractors, or utility vehicles. It navigates mud, grass, gravel, and slopes with ease - simply hitch and go.
 

User-Friendly Design
Foldable Hopper:
●Folds down during transport to save space; expands during operation for easy feeding.
360° Rotatable Discharge Chute:
●Direct chips exactly where you need them - into a collection bag, trailer, or pile.
Adjustable Support Leg:
●Keeps the machine stable during stationary operation, reducing vibration.
 

Safe & Durable
●Emergency stop safety switch cuts power instantly in unexpected situations.
●High-carbon alloy steel blades are wear-resistant, impact-tolerant, and resharpenable for extended service life.
●The reinforced steel plate frame resists torsion and withstands demanding, continuous-duty operation.
 

Easy Maintenance, Low Operating Cost
●Blade replacement and sharpening are straightforward - most users can do it themselves.
●Engine maintenance points (oil, air filter, spark plug) are laid out for convenient access.
●Excellent fuel economy keeps total cost of ownership low.

Functional Highlights

 

Drum Cutting Technology
The high-speed drum rotor generates powerful cutting force, chipping material instantly upon entry - far more efficient than disc-type models.

 

Self-Feeding Design
The drum rotor's inherent pulling action assists material feed, reducing the physical effort required by the operator. An anti-kickback guard enhances safety.
 

Dual-Blade + Fixed Knife Synergy
Moving blades handle coarse cutting; the fixed bed knife ensures fine finishing. Output chip size is consistently controlled between 10–30 mm - ideal for mulch, compost feedstock, or biomass fuel.

 

Overload Protection
The engine governor automatically reduces speed when encountering oversized material or foreign objects, protecting blades and drivetrain components.
 

Vibration Dampening
The drum rotor is dynamically balanced, and coupled with the reinforced frame, this effectively suppresses operational vibration and prolongs machine life.

Applications

 

Landscaping & Municipal Maintenance
Branches, brush, and shrub trimmings from parks, residential communities, and roadside greenery can be chipped on-site into mulch - eliminating haul-away costs and turning green waste into a valuable landscaping resource.
 

Orchards & Farm Management
Citrus groves, apple orchards, olive farms, and more generate massive pruning waste each season. The GS120-121 enters orchard rows for mobile chipping; wood chips can be returned to soil as mulch or used as animal bedding.
 

Forestry Cleanup & Fire Prevention
During forest thinning or firebreak maintenance, the GS120-121 rapidly processes small-diameter timber and brush, reducing combustible fuel loads and lowering wildfire risk.
 

Biomass Energy Feedstock
Uniform wood chips (15–25 mm) produced by the GS120-121 are ideal raw material for biomass pellet plants and biomass power stations - opening an additional revenue stream.
 

Hobby Farms & Estates
Large estates, private farms, and hobby farms benefit from the GS120-121's professional-grade chipping capability for routine tree and landscape maintenance.
 

Equipment Rental
Easy to operate, simple to transport - the GS120-121 is a top choice for equipment rental businesses. Short payback period and high rental demand make it a profitable addition to any rental fleet.

 

Technology & Craftsmanship

 

Blade Manufacturing
●Blades are forged from high-carbon alloy steel through a three-step process: drop forging → CNC grinding → vacuum heat treatment, achieving HRC 56–60 hardness with excellent edge retention and impact toughness.
●Each blade undergoes dynamic balancing inspection before assembly to ensure zero wobble at high RPM.
Rotor Machining
●The rotor main shaft is made from 40Cr alloy structural steel, quench-tempered and precision-machined, paired with premium bearings (NSK/SKF optional).
●After welding, the complete rotor assembly undergoes dynamic balancing with residual unbalance controlled to G6.3 grade or better.
Frame Manufacturing
●The frame is laser-cut from Q235B heavy-gauge steel plate and welded into a rigid unit. Critical welds undergo ultrasonic spot inspection to ensure structural integrity.
●Three-layer surface protection: sandblasting → epoxy primer → polyurethane topcoat, providing excellent weather resistance and rust protection for long-term outdoor storage.
Assembly & Testing
●Every completed unit undergoes a 30-minute loaded test run prior to shipment, covering: starting performance, idle stability, maximum chipping capacity, vibration levels, noise levels, safety switch response, and fastener torque verification.
●Each machine receives a unique serial number and factory certificate upon passing inspection.

 

Quality Assurance & Certifications

 

Quality System
●Manufacturing facility is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
●Products comply with CE Machinery Directive (standard for EU-destined models).
●Engine emissions meet EPA / EU Stage V standards (configured per destination market). Inspection Stages
