VORTEX® V-12 Brush Chipper

Because of the design characteristics of the patented VORTEX® chamber, the V-12 has more capacity than any other chipper in the 12 inch class.  While most chippers in this class have openings 12 inches high and from 15 inches to 20 inches wide, the VORTEX® V-12 has an opening of 12 inches high by 32 inches wide .... 50% to 100% bigger. This makes it suitable for multiple markets others can't handle. Tree care, municipalities, utility line maintenance, golf course management, and even light land clearing are all better suited to the VORTEX® V-12 than others in its class.

Hand fed or machine fed, the "oversized" opening makes feeding and operating best in class. While operators of other brands must "cut to the opening", VORTEX® V-12 operators can process limbs, branches, and even small whole trees as-is, bringing truth to the statement of "less trim time" that others claim.

Another feature of the VORTEX® V-12 design is the ability to throw chips wet or dry, in ANY direction, with velocity unequalled by any other drum-style chipper in its class. This model matches and can even exceed the throwing capability of a disc-style chipper. 

Add in the revolutionary skinless-no pocket drum, you have the highest capacity, most productive machine in the 12-inch class available in today's market.
