Morbark Hurricane 18

The Model Hurricane 18’s heavy-duty construction will withstand the rigorous daily abuse that can cause ordinary chippers to be short- lived. Excellent for development contractors and tree services, the Hurricane 18 is equipped with a heavy duty, height adjustable, 360-degree discharge chute and with replaceable knife holders on the drum.

The patented, integrated air system is located in the chipper housing to provide controlled airflow to assist in carrying light, leafy material into the back of the truck.

All hydraulic components are powered directly from the engine, providing live hydraulics without requiring clutch engagement. The feed wheel control handle has adjustable stops to protect the hydraulic valve from abuse. The hydraulic fluid is not only environmentally safe, but it is also heavy duty, anti-wear and anti- foaming.

Also standard on the Hurricane is a rugged torsional suspension with electronic brakes for smooth towing. The tubular steel frame construction of the machine provides superior strength and durability that is built into all Morbark chippers.

Strength is also added to the Hurricane 18 through the contoured edges on the top and sides of the infeed, which also eliminate hang-ups. The infeed floor, also built with heavy-duty 3/8” thick steel, slopes to a comfortable loading height. The 20” high by 30” wide opening at the feed wheel accepts extremely difficult material with minimal chainsaw work.
