Part of mechanical logging involves chipping brush and other refuse which can subsequently be burned in a bark boiler. In this case, clean chipped wood is going to Cooley Dickenson Hospital in Northampton, MA. This chipper here has knives; its use is restricted to clean brush and wood. Stumps and dirty brush is processed in a separate type of chipper.
The ability to access the chipper with a truck dictates whether or not chipped product is put onto the ground and then loaded or chipped directly into a truck.
