If you have recently been on the search for different types of wood chippers, here is a look at the differences between a mechanical and hydraulic wood chipper and some of the features of each unit.

If you are currently considering a mechanical wood chipper machine from WoodMaxx, this remains one of our most popular products and is the perfect option for a wide array of tasks. The entire power train of the machine is driven by your tractors PTO; the auto-feed rollers inside the chipper are powered by a gearbox which is powered by the PTO. This is one of the most efficient options for customers who are in need of a more robust wood chipper for larger branches and projects. Many of these options also come with industry-leading features such as dual-in feed rollers and quick hitch options.

Our hydraulic chippers are very similar to the mechanical chippers but they utilize variable speed hydraulic motors to power the in-feed rollers. Because of the hydraulic motors, the in-feed rollers are also capable of going in reverse. These units are not dependent on the tractor, because the hydraulic system is self-contained. They do also come with many of the features of our mechanical chippers including a number of components that were built right here in the United States.

If you have been on the search for a wood chipper for your personal or professional use, contact WoodMaxx today to see which of these world-class products may be right for you.
