Carlton Wood Chippers & Stump Grinders for Sale at Tri-County Service
Carlton Wood Chippers Have Arrived at Tri-County Service
Every contractor has equipment brands they trust. The kind of machines that start every morning, keep feeding material all day, and don't leave you sitting on the side of the road waiting for repairs. In the tree care industry, Carlton has earned that reputation over decades of building dependable equipment for professionals who simply can't afford downtime. That's why we're proud to welcome Carlton to the lineup at Tri-County Service
Whether you're running a full-service tree company, clearing storm damage after severe weather, maintaining utility right-of-ways, or handling municipal forestry work, Carlton builds equipment designed to work as hard as you do.
Why So Many Arborists Choose Carlton
Tree work is demanding. Equipment takes a beating every day, from oversized hardwood limbs to brush piles that seem to never end.
Carlton understands that reality.
Instead of chasing flashy features, they've focused on the things contractors actually care about:
-
Heavy-duty construction
-
Simple, serviceable designs
-
Aggressive hydraulic feed systems
-
High-capacity infeed openings
-
Dependable engines
-
Easy daily maintenance
-
Proven reliability on commercial job sites
It's equipment that's designed to spend more time working and less time in the shop.
Three Carlton Machines Contractors Ask About Most
Carlton 1290 Series
For many tree companies, the 1290 hits the sweet spot.
Large enough to handle serious brush and limbs while remaining compact enough for residential work, this 9-inch disc chipper has become one of Carlton's most popular machines.
Its hydraulic feed system keeps material moving smoothly, while the generous infeed opening reduces the amount of trimming crews have to do before feeding branches into the machine. Less trimming means less labor and that translates into more jobs completed every week.
For growing tree service companies, it's an excellent balance of productivity and portability.
Carlton 1712 Series
When the jobs start getting bigger, so should your chipper.
The Carlton 1712 is built for companies processing larger material every day. One feature operators immediately notice is its oversized infeed opening. Instead of spending valuable time cutting branches into smaller sections, crews can feed larger tops directly into the machine.
That may seem like a small difference, but over the course of an eight-hour day, those saved minutes add up quickly.
It's a machine designed for production without becoming oversized or difficult to tow.
Carlton 2015 Drum Chipper
Some jobs simply demand horsepower.
The Carlton 2015 Drum Chipper was built for contractors processing large volumes of material day after day. Its drum design, powerful hydraulic feed system, and Carlton's Air Vortex Control technology help keep chips moving efficiently while reducing material buildup inside the machine.
For companies focused on land clearing, commercial tree removal, or storm cleanup, this machine was built with production in mind.
Carlton Doesn't Stop at Wood Chippers
Although Carlton is well known for commercial wood chippers, many professionals first became familiar with the brand through its industry-leading stump grinders.
Their lineup includes compact walk-behind machines, self-propelled models, track-mounted grinders, and high-horsepower units capable of tackling some of the toughest stump removal jobs in the industry.
For contractors looking to build or expand a tree care fleet, Carlton offers solutions that can grow alongside the business.
