Chipping Frozen Wood

[Hantsman]

Hey,

Are there any drawbacks to chipping small frozen trees/branches? My main concern is damaging equipment. The chipper is a 6 inch woodland mills (PTO). Any info would be great.

Thanks

I would say if it's very cold, everything becomes brittle. The knives and all metal components. I don't recommend it.

Maybe someone from Canada will see this and reply.

I have no problem chipping year round.

-29C is the shut down point, but I won't at -15C. At -5C the friction alone will warm everything up. Remember to grease when you finish and everything is still warm.
