Whole-tree disc chipper
Morbark introduced the 23X Chiparvestor whole tree disc chipper at its recent Demo Days.
“Morbark followed the same thought process and ideals as we did in creating the other X-series of next-generation Morbark equipment,” says Michael Stanton, Morbark director of Industrial Sales. “We took our previous proven design technology and focused on minimizing downtime, increasing production and making improvements that will help contribute to customer success.”

Morbark has been producing mobile whole tree disc chippers since the 1970s, and like the previous Model 23 Chiparvestors, the 23X uses a 75-inch diameter x 5-inch thick chipper disc to chip large volumes of wood, while the built-in dirt separator with deflector keeps the end product clean.
Key improvements of the 23X over the previous models include:
- Increased ground clearance with four super single flotation tires for mobilization on uneven logging jobs
- 8-feet 6-inchwidth for legal transport worldwide
- Simplified feed system that includes a two-wheel hydraulic feed system consisting of a 35-inch x 56-inch top feed wheel and 13-inch x 56-inch bottom feed wheel
- An independent disc drive-tensioning system for ease of adjustment
- Large work platform for easier and safer disc inspections and maintenance
- Improved Chipper Hood design that allows for better access to the disc during inspections and maintenance
- Integrated skidder bar for easier staging and repositioning of chipping on the landing
“Morbark continues to listen closely to our customers, providing the features they want and need and delivering on our promise of making heavy-duty equipment that helps enable them to succeed,” says Stanton.
