1 min read

Q: What is the difference between a chipper and a mulcher?
A: The primary difference between a chipper and a mulcher is the type of material they can process. A chipper is ideal for chipping tree branches or cuttings with few leaves, while a mulcher is better suited for chipping, shredding, and mulching leafy hedges and green material such as vegetable matter.

Q: Can both machines chip the same diameter wood?
A: Yes, both machines are capable of chipping the same-diameter wood, up to 50mm (2 inches).

Q: Which machine is better for chipping tree branches?
A: Both the mulcher and chipper are equally good for chipping tree branches using Forest Master machines. However, the mulcher will produce smaller wood chips while the chipper will produce larger ones.

Q: Which machine is better for chipping leafy hedges and green material?
A: A mulcher is better suited for chipping, shredding, and mulching leafy hedges and green material such as vegetable matter.

Q: What should I consider when choosing between a chipper and a mulcher?
A: Consider the type of material you’ll be processing. If you’re primarily chipping tree branches or cuttings with few leaves, a chipper is the best choice. If you’ll be chipping, shredding, and mulching leafy hedges and green material, a mulcher is the better choice.
