James, a farmer in Queensland, Australia, runs a 200-acre orchard. Every pruning season, thousands of tree branches pile up on the land and are extremely difficult to dispose of. Hiring trucks to remove them costs too much, and burning on site is restricted by local environmental rules. He heard that a tree wood chipper can turn branches into wood chips on the spot, so he decided to find out if this machine was right for him.【WhatsApp/WeChat/Phone】+86 13837122632

Customer Requirements
James had three main demands: First, the machine must be towable, as he needed to move it between different areas of the orchard. Second, the crushed wood chips had better be spread directly back into the field as fertilizer. Third, the operation should not be complicated, since his workers had no professional machinery background.
Benefits of Using the YG Tree Wood Chipper
This tree wood chipper brought James real and practical convenience:
- Towable and labor-saving: The YG-6130 is fitted with heavy-duty tires and a reinforced towing system, making it a trailer wood chipper. James tows it with his pickup truck between rows of trees in the orchard, chipping branches right where they are cut, no need to move branches back and forth.
- Smart feeding, easy operation: The machine comes with an automatic feeding system. It pauses automatically when overloaded and restarts when back to normal. Workers only need to put branches into the hopper; the machine controls speed on its own without constant supervision.
- Reliable heat dissipation for high temperatures: Summer temperatures in Australia often exceed 40°C. The machine’s radiator cover uses dense diamond mesh, blocking debris while ensuring good heat dissipation. It does not overheat even after hours of continuous work.
- Sturdy body and high durability: The engine cover is bent from 3mm thick steel plate, and the pulley is equipped with a taper lock bush to prevent key slipping. Dual hydraulic motors drive the chain plate and pressure roller synchronously for smooth feeding, so curved branches rarely get stuck.
Economic Value Brought by the Tree Wood Chipper
James did the math. In the past, he spent about AU$4,000 each year hiring trucks to remove branches, plus extra labor to load branches waiting by the road. Now with this tree branch chipper, everything has changed:
- Zero transportation cost: Branches are chipped on site and spread in the orchard immediately, with no external haulage fees at all.
- Lower fertilizer costs: Wood chips decompose into organic matter and improve soil quality. He estimates he has cut about AU$1,500 a year on commercial organic fertilizer.
- Higher labor efficiency: Previously, two men took two days to load one truck of branches. Now one worker can chip all pruned branches in a single day, cutting labor costs by more than half.
He calculated that he could recover the cost of this tree wood chipper in about one and a half years.
Purchase Process
James learned about our products through an agricultural forum. He first searched the keyword “trailer wood chipper” online and compared several brands. Our YG-6130 fit his budget well in terms of price and configuration. We arranged a remote video demonstration, testing the machine with real branches, so he could see the chipping effect and output speed. He then contacted another one of our customers in Australia, and after receiving positive feedback, he placed his formal order.
Other Uses of the Tree Wood Chipper
Besides handling pruned branches in his own orchard, James also uses this tree branch chipper for other purposes:
- Helping neighbors with waste: Several small nearby farms do not have a tree branch chipper, so James charges a small fee to chip their branches. He has earned several hundred Australian dollars in just half a year.
- Clearing storm-damaged trees: Last year, a storm broke many roadside trees. He used the machine to chip the fallen wood, saving the cost of hiring a professional removal team.
