Morbark

Morbark's Beever M18RX is a new lightweight option package for the Beever M18RX brush chipper. Weighing less than 10,000 pounds fully charged with fluids, spare tire and winch, this machine can be towed without a CDL. Other key modifications include the single feed-wheel yoke pivot assembly with TorqMax drive, which maintains dead space between the feed wheel and chipper drum, increasing down-pressure efficiency. The unit is available in horsepower ranging from 140 to 170, with Cummins, Deere or Caterpillar power options.

Bandit's 1590XP hand-fed drum-style chipper can be optioned with wider horizontal feed wheels, measuring 25 inches versus the standard 20-inch-wide wheels. The new option allows the 1590XP to more aggressively crush limbs, reducing the amount of trim work required on larger material entering the chipper. The unit now offers engines up to 180 hp. The 1590's throat opening of 19.75 by 20.5 inches delivers production more in line with larger units.
