Fast, clean and efficient: These
are three goals of loggers and
wood recyclers all over the
world, according to manufacturer
Precision Husky.
“All three, when achieved in
combination, lead to bigger and
more sustained profits. And we all
can agree that when dealing with
money, more is better.”
Even after half a century,
industry leader Precision never
stops innovating its line-up of
whole-tree chippers, flail debarkers
and knuckleboom loaders.
“Why? Because your
bottom line is a goal we never
stop expanding. Our latest
achievements in the quest for
success follows our own logic:
design experience and the ever-
changing technology of the digital
age.”
From the top down, the
Precision line is better engineered,
built heavier, smarter and stronger
for more fruitful logging and less
costly downtime.
“Precision is more than our
name. It’s our number one goal. “
take hours of downtime.
The new 2366 chipper brings
25% more anvil contact area to
the table to prevent slapping and
turning. This results in smoother
slicing and more uniform chips,
with less horsepower.
The unit comes with a fully
adjustable hydraulic system, which
provides limitless control of the
feed rate. The patented PT Tech
HPTO (Hydraulic Power Take-Off )
is a totally enclosed wet hydraulic
clutch that requires no adjustment
through its wear life. During a
torque spike, the clutch will act
as a torque limiter by slipping to
absorb the shock load.
The industry-leading XL-175
knuckleboom loader comes
standard in our 2366 Precision
whole-tree chipper. These units
are professionally engineered
by logging veterans to be highly
responsive and balanced with a
smooth, powerful swing. These
workhorse loaders have central
hydraulic pressure checks and are
the largest available with heavy-
duty sub frames.
With three-axle spring
suspension, Precison chippers are
tough to beat. Choose the engine
strength that suits the individual
operation – up to 1,200 hp. The
company also offers a new radio
remote controlled track-driven
chipper that goes where the big
rigs can’t and are favoured by many
international recycling operations.
Meanwhile, the new FD 2600-4
debarker can easily process logs
from 3-26 inches (76 mm to 660
mm) in diameter with a feed speed
of up to 200-plus linear feet (61 m)
per minute to generate over 100 t/h
of clean chips.
The 2600-4 is also highly
flexible. It can operate along with
our mobile chipper or as a stand-
alone debarker. Because it allows
for multiple individual solutions, it
consistently receives the highest
efficiency rates in the world.
Bark and limbs are removed
in enclosed housing, protecting
the system from damage. The
2600-4 flail removes waste with
an oversized hydraulic pusher,
keeping the chamber clean.
Best Solution. Smart Recycling.

Chipper Innovations
Precision did not invent the whole-
tree chipper but it does “make
one of the best chippers available
today”.
“Ask any of the more than 5,000
crews that use Precision products
every day and have access to
our unbeatable parts inventory
and service technicians,” the
manufacturer said.
The latest generation of
Precision-built chippers pushes the
envelope of technology to include
a 66 in, five-knife option, which
allows the chipper disc to operate
at a slower rate. This not only saves
wear and tear, it produces the most
valuable chip quality.
“Year after year, Precision
chippers, operating with our
2600-4 flail debarker gives you the
highest production, lowest bark
content and cost per tonne in the
industry,” the company said.
Plus, through message-based
CAN bus platform, a remote
operator can monitor infeed
through the HD colour control
panel. Operator can see production
and monitor system status in real
time and adjust accordingly. That’s
like having an extra man in the
crew, Precision claimed. Complete
system diagnostics come at the
touch of a button, making trouble
shooting simple when it used to
