largest, most productive drum chipper on the market
The Morbark 50/48 whole tree wood chipper is the largest, most productive drum chipper on the market. The 50/48X was updated to a similar design layout as Morbark’s other industry-leading industrial drum chippers with a sloped infeed, externally adjustable anvil and large work platforms for easy access for routine maintenance. The reverse pivot yoke produces more down pressure than the conventional style yoke for aggressive feeding of a variety of material. Morbark’s Advantage 3 Drum produces more consistent chips, while the heat-treated, AR-450 steel drum skin provides longer wear life for lower replacement costs and less downtime. The Advantage 3 drum assembly can come as 10-knives for fuel chip or 20-knives for micro-chip applications.
