The PS8 comes in both stationary and portable models, capable of peeling posts ranging from 3 inches to 12 inches in diameter (7.6 cm - 30.5 cm) and 6 feet to 12 feet in length (1.8 m - 3.6 m). This efficient machine can peel up to 2,000 eight-foot (2.4 m) posts in an eight-hour shift. With optional infeed and outfeed supports, it can handle longer lengths as well.
Stationary units include an outfeed for transferring and indexing posts onto a chain or bunk. Morbark post peelers feature a split peeling head with carbide-tipped cutterhead teeth for bark and knot removal, along with planer knives that leave a smooth surface in a single pass through the machine.
