This listing is for a used wood chipper — sometimes called a wood shredder — currently located in Germany and offered at $4,165. Wood chippers are used to reduce branches, limbs, and other woody material into chips, making them a common piece of equipment in forestry, arboriculture, landscaping, and land-clearing operations. Hatz, known formally as Motorenfabrik Hatz, is a long-established German manufacturer specialising in diesel engines and engine-powered machinery, with a reputation for robust, purpose-built equipment across agricultural and industrial sectors.
This particular machine is a trailed unit fitted with a tandem axle, a drawbar eye, and a coupling jaw, making it suitable for towing behind an appropriate vehicle. It is equipped with lighting and warning boards for road transport compliance. The discharge is handled via an ejection tower, allowing chipped material to be directed into a trailer or designated collection area.
The engine has sustained mechanical damage — the seller explicitly notes a motor fault (Motorschaden) — and this is an important consideration for any prospective buyer. Despite the engine damage, the rated output is specified at 48.5 kW (65 hp). The maximum workable wood diameter is 200 mm, indicating the machine is designed to handle branches and stems of substantial size.
The unit is sold as used and is offered in its current condition, with the engine fault disclosed. Buyers should account for repair or engine replacement costs when evaluating the purchase price.
