Cheers for the responses. I definitely think the guy was coming from a H&S perspective rather than what the machine can actually do. Which, imho, is a daft thing to do cause its better to be aware that you can chip dead but extra precautions need to be taken rather than not to chip at all. These guys were worried the couldn't chip some dead birch without it shagging up their machine.

Hi Guys Haven't posted on here for some time but i was speaking to a friend today and he mentioned something about chipping dead or 'brown' wood. To cut the back story he has works for the national trust, had a trianer come in to teach some staff how to use a chipper and he said that a chipper should only be used to chip green timber 🤷 The chipper in question is 6" Timberwolf Tracky. Never heard this before and i was wondering what peoples thought were. I expect well seasoned chunky stems will put more strain on the chipper but always assumed that this was withon tolerance and should be fine for a chipper to handle. Anyone else heard this green timber only rule or is the guy talking shite? Cheers!
