Key Features & Specs
The Morbark Model 23 Chiparvestor® whole tree chippers are built to last. The hydraulic chipper hood allows for easy knife access, while the 23″ (58.42 cm) chipping diameter tackles some of the larger trees.

Options include a four-knife chipper disc, Strickland NS38 or Caterpillar 320L undercarriage track, 11-HP air compressor, and many more. The Model 23 is able to chip large volumes of wood with its 75″ (190.5 cm) chipper disc.
