Best 3 Point Hitch Brush Chippers for Compact Tractors

Maintaining a clean, efficient property requires the right tools. If you're working with a compact tractor, a 3-point hitch wood chipper can turn large piles of limbs, branches, and brush into manageable mulch. At Farmry, we offer a range of PTO wood chippers that are powerful, efficient, and built for performance. In this guide, we’ll explore the best 3 point hitch brush chippers for compact tractors, focusing on top-rated Farmry machines and what makes them ideal for homesteaders, landscapers, and small farm owners alike.

Why Choose a 3 Point Hitch Wood Chipper?

A 3-point hitch wood chipper is specifically designed to attach to the rear of your tractor via a standard 3-point connection. Powered by your tractor's PTO (Power Take-Off), these chippers eliminate the need for a separate engine. That means fewer moving parts, less maintenance, and greater torque for heavy-duty chipping.

Key Benefits:

• Efficiently reduces brush, limbs, and branches into fine chips

• Saves time and effort compared to manual disposal

• Creates valuable mulch for landscaping or composting

• Compatible with quick hitch systems

• Makes short work of large piles

At Farmry, we offer durable, high-performance chippers with auto feed, hydraulic infeed, and reversible blades that can handle the toughest debris. Let’s look at the best options for your tractor.

Features That Matter

Let’s break down the most important chipper components and terms:

Chipper Blades

High-carbon blades with a reversible design last longer and require less sharpening. All Farmry units use premium chipper blades that slice cleanly through wood and brush.

Flywheel

A heavier flywheel means smoother chipping and less stress on your tractor’s engine. It stores rotational energy and powers through tough jobs.

Feed Rollers

The infeed roller grabs and pulls in branches automatically. Choose dual rollers for smoother feeding and fewer jams.

Torque

Don’t overlook torque. The right chipper should handle constant loads without bogging down. Our chippers are engineered for maximum performance.
