Chippers are on the short list of equipment that is essential for many arboricultural operations. These machines can convert entire trees into compact volumes that are easily transported. The shredded material also becomes a valuable commodity with far more uses - biofuels and mulch, to name two - than the traditional firewood market for brush. I would not want to do large-tree removals without one.While mobile wood chippers are a safe and efficient means of managing woody brush, they are not without their hazards. They can shred any organic material that is inadvertently pushed or pulled into them. Incidents involving chippers occur every month in this country. The fatal ones are horrific and sometimes described as "total body fragmentation," a term that leaves little to the imagination.
