The Bear Cat CH4420 Road-Towable Wood Chipper combines powerful chipping performance with convenient transport between properties and job sites. Powered by a 420cc, 13 HP Briggs & Stratton XR Professional Series engine, it is designed to process tree limbs, branches and prunings up to approximately 4 inches in diameter.
A standard 2-inch coupler allows the chipper to be towed, while its gravity-assisted self-feed system helps draw properly prepared material toward the cutting rotor. The cantilevered rotor design improves reliability and helps reduce material wrapping when processing wet, stringy or sappy wood.
The CH4420 includes two reversible, heat-treated chipping knives, a four-sided adjustable striking anvil and a ground-discharge chute that keeps chips close to the ground for easier cleanup.

Freight Delivery
Free standard freight delivery is included to an eligible commercial business address within the contiguous United States.
The delivery location must be a fully commercial address with suitable tractor-trailer access and the ability to unload the equipment using a loading dock, forklift or other appropriate equipment.
Residential delivery, limited-access locations and liftgate service are not included in standard delivery and may require an additional charge.
The freight carrier will normally contact the recipient to arrange a delivery appointment. Please ensure that the delivery address and telephone number provided with the order are accurate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size branches can the Bear Cat CH4420 process?
The CH4420 is marketed as a 4-inch-class chipper and is designed to process tree limbs and prunings up to approximately 4 inches in diameter. The manufacturer’s specifications list a 4.5-inch chipping capacity and a 4.5 x 4.5-inch infeed opening. Actual performance depends on the hardness, shape and moisture content of the material.
Is the CH4420 road towable?
Yes. The CH4420 includes a standard 2-inch coupler and is configured for towing. The owner is responsible for observing applicable local registration, lighting, speed and road-use requirements.
Does it have hydraulic feed rollers?
No. The CH4420 uses a gravity-assisted self-feed system rather than hydraulic feed rollers.
What type of wood can it process?
The cantilevered rotor is designed to improve reliability and reduce wrapping when processing stringy, sappy or wet wood. Material should always be prepared and fed according to the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
Where are the chips discharged?
A ground-discharge chute is included and keeps processed chips close to the ground. An optional elevated discharge chute may be purchased separately for directing chips into a suitable trailer.
Can the chipping knives be reversed?
Yes. The CH4420 uses two reversible, heat-treated chipping knives, providing a second cutting edge before sharpening or replacement is required.
Is assembly required?
Some setup or assembly may be required before operation. Complete all manufacturer-required inspections and safety checks before operating or towing the machine.

We understand that freight shipping can be confusing — especially if you’ve never had a large item delivered this way. This page will walk you through exactly how it works, including what a liftgate is, what “curbside delivery” really means, and what to be prepared for when your order arrives.
Why Freight Is Used
Freight shipping is required for large or heavy products — usually those over 120 lbs or oversized dimensions. Unlike standard parcel shipping (UPS/FedEx), freight is handled by a trucking company using semi-trucks.
What is Curbside Delivery?
All of our freight shipments are curbside delivery by default, which means:
- A full-size semi-truck (typically 20 to 53 feet long) will arrive at your location.
- The truck will stop at the end of your driveway or nearest accessible point — not necessarily at your garage or door.
- The driver’s responsibility ends at the curb. It’s your responsibility to unload the item from the truck unless other arrangements are made.
Important: Some extremely large or heavy products are not eligible for residential delivery at all, even with liftgate service. In these cases, you will need to collect your order from the nearest freight terminal or depot. We will notify you if this applies to your order before it ships.
What Is a Liftgate?
A liftgate is a hydraulic platform on the back of a truck that can lower freight from the truck bed to the ground. Not all freight trucks are equipped with one, and it's not guaranteed unless you request it in advance.
If your delivery location does not have a forklift or loading dock, we strongly recommend ordering liftgate service.
- Liftgate fees typically range from $25 to $125, depending on the product or carrier.
- If the truck arrives without a liftgate and you’re unable to unload, you may be charged re-delivery and full liftgate fees.
What Drivers Are (and Aren’t) Required to Do
- Drivers are not required to assist with unloading
- Some drivers may help at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed
- If the truck can safely pull into your driveway and turn around, they may accommodate — but it’s entirely up to the driver
- If your road or driveway is inaccessible to large trucks, you’ll need to meet the driver at the nearest accessible location
Important Notes
- Do not accept or use liftgate service unless you’ve ordered and paid for it — even if the driver says it’s okay. Carriers may charge you $100+ for unauthorized use.
- In some areas, liftgate delivery may be required by the freight company for safety or liability reasons
- If you’re unsure whether you need a liftgate, assume yes unless you have a dock or forklift on-site
Delivery Scheduling
- The carrier will contact you by phone to arrange a delivery appointment
- Typically, you’ll receive a 1–2 day notice and a 3–4 hour delivery window
Before You Sign
Inspect your shipment thoroughly before signing the delivery receipt:
- If there is any damage, note it clearly on the paperwork
- Take photos immediately
- Contact us within 24 hours
Summary
- Freight deliveries are made via large trucks to curbside locations
- Liftgate service is not included unless requested
- Some oversized items are not available for residential delivery and must be picked up at a depot
- Always inspect and document before accepting delivery
