Peterson’s 6300B chipper is powered by a 1050 hp (772 kW) C27 Caterpillar engine, and has an optional Tier IVi engine available
to handle up to 24-inch (61 cm)
diameter logs. The fully enclosed
engine compartment keeps things
clean, but easily serviced by large
access doors on both sides of the
machine.
The 3310’s transverse design
allows for a much smaller
operations deck, and the rotatable
end load or optional top load spout
design allows for trailers to be
loaded in a variety of positions,
depending on the demands of the
job site.
Using the proven drum and
knife design used on the larger
4300-series drum chippers, the
3310’s main components are robust
and offer long life.
The 3310 is available with
a four-pocket drum for typical
biomass chips, or a eightpocket
drum for microchipping
applications. The chips exit the
machine from an innovative auger
system which feeds an accelerator
to increase payload density.
Designed for export markets,
the 3310 can be easily transported
in a high-cube, 40-foot container,
significantly saving on overseas
shipping expense.
