Harvesters and Chippers

Harvesters and chippers are types of agricultural vehicles and machinery used to reduce wood into chips or plants into silage. They are useful on farms because wood chips can be turned into bedding or animal litter, while silage and haylage goes on to provide fermented feed for livestock. Types of chippers (also known as tree chippers or woodchippers) include disc, drum and high torque roller. While common types of harvesters (also known silage harvester, forager or chopper) include single chop, double chop or precision chop. In each case, chippers and harvesters can be stand-alone units but can also attach to a tractor. Harvesters and chippers are both types of agricultural equipment widely used by farmers and farm workers.
