A tree chipper or woodchipper^[1] is a machine used for reducing wood (generally tree limbs or trunks) into smaller woodchips. They are often portable, being mounted on wheels on frames suitable for towing behind a truck or van. Power is generally provided by an internal combustion engine from 2 to 700 kilowatts (3 to 1,000 horsepower). There are also high-power chipper models mounted on trucks and powered by a separate engine. These models usually also have a hydraulic winch.
