2001 MORBARK 13

2001 Morbark Model 13 Brush Chipper

This 2001 Morbark Model 13 has just 165 original hours — roughly 6.6 hours per year over 25 years. That's about as light as this model comes, and the machine has been kept in storage rather than run daily on job sites.

Who This Machine Is For

• Tree services replacing a worn-out chipper — the Model 13 is a proven, straightforward hand-fed unit with a long service history in the industry.
• Landscape and property maintenance crews — sized for limb and brush work, not whole-tree processing.
• Municipal and utility line-clearing crews — a common role for this model based on how it's used in the field.
• Buyers who want low-hour equipment without paying new-machine prices — 165 hours is close to unused for a 25-year-old chipper.

What It Chips

• Limbs and branches up to 13 inches in diameter — matches the drum sizing on this model.
• Brush and smaller trimmings — a hand-fed machine built for regular tree care and cleanup work, not tree-length material.
• Mixed yard and storm debris — suited to the kind of variable material tree crews bring in daily.

This is not a whole tree chipper. It's a hand-fed brush unit, so material has to be sized and fed by an operator rather than pulled in from a live floor. If you need to process whole trees, look at a horizontal grinder instead.

Specs in Plain Language

At 165 hours across 25 years, this machine has seen barely any run time — call it storage-kept rather than worked hard. Power comes from a Perkins 1004.4 diesel, a common engine choice in this size class of brush chipper. The Model 13 designation points to a 13-inch chipping capacity, which sets the practical limit on branch diameter this machine handles well. Low hours mean less wear on the drum, bearings, and feed system than you'd typically find on a chipper this age.
