Cómo elegir
The 7-10 in class is the appropriate choice for residential tree services processing branches from pruning, crown thinning, and single-tree removals where the majority of material falls under 9 inches. When jobsite material regularly exceeds 9 in diameter, such as multi-tree removals or mature hardwood takedowns, the 10-13 in Brush Chipper delivers better throughput and less frequent jamming. Conversely, crews handling ornamental prunings, shrub clearance, or access-restricted sites where weight and footprint matter often find the Up to 7 in Brush Chipper more maneuverable and sufficient.
