Experience unrivaled productivity with the Morbark 50/48X Whole Tree Drum Chipper, the largest and most efficient drum chipper on the market. The 50/48X model has been revamped with a layout similar to Morbark’s other top-of-the-line industrial drum chippers, featuring a sloped infeed, externally adjustable anvil, and spacious work platforms for hassle-free routine maintenance.

Morbark’s Advantage 3 Drum ensures consistently high-quality chips, while the heat-treated AR-450 steel drum skin extends wear life, resulting in reduced replacement costs and minimal downtime.
You can opt for the Advantage 3 drum assembly with 10 knives for fuel chip applications or 20 knives for micro-chip tasks. Discover the superior capabilities of the Morbark 50/48X Whole Tree Drum Chipper for your wood processing needs!
