Not sure which chipper fits your crew?

Tell a Bailey’s specialist what you chip and where you work. We’ll narrow down the right commercial wood chipper in one call.

What commercial grade means

Heavy duty build for
daily commercial use.

A heavy duty wood chipper earns the name in the parts that take the load: the feed rollers, the flywheel, the frame and the engine. Here’s what makes a Först an industrial wood chipper, under the orange.

FörstGrip twin hydraulic feed rollers on a heavy duty wood chipper
01 / FEED

Rollers that climb the timber.

FörstGrip twin hydraulic feed rollers are tensioned with heavy duty springs. The top roller lifts on an arc to grip butt ends, limbs and forks, and feed speed is adjustable to suit the wood.

Först open-top flywheel with twin chipping blades
02 / CUT

An open-top flywheel that clears.

Twin flat-bar blades on a large open-top flywheel with gusseted paddles throw wet, green material without blocking. Twin 10 inch blades on 8 inch models, twin 8 inch on the ST6P HD.

Robust steel construction on a Först commercial chipper
03 / FRAME

Steel where it takes the hits.

Robust steel construction built for daily commercial use, not weekend work. This is what separates a heavy duty wood chipper from a consumer machine.

Doosan diesel engine in a Först 8 inch wood chipper
04 / POWER

Doosan diesel on every 8 inch.

49 HP in the ST8D and 55 HP in the TR8D and XR8D: large wood chipper performance from a compact machine. The ST6P HD runs a 40 HP Vanguard gas engine.

Först AutoIntelligence control pad
05 / CONTROL

Electrics built for weather.

AutoIntelligence is a water and vibration proof control system with no-stress feed control. It tells you when service is due.

Accessible anvil for maintenance on a Först chipper
06 / SERVICE

Service access that saves time.

An accessible, turnable anvil and open-top flywheel keep blade changes and routine checks short, so the machine gets back to work.

Who runs them

Built for tree services, arborists and brush crews.

  • Tree services and arborists

    An arborist chipper compact enough for the city that still takes 8 inch hardwood. Adjustable feed speed for whatever the job hands you.

  • Fuel reduction and brush crews

    A commercial brush chipper that processes wet, green material all day. Tracked models drive to the brush so crews stop dragging it to the road.

  • Municipal, parks and utilities

    Towable chippers for roadside and right-of-way work, with simple controls for rotating crews and service reminders built in.

Before you buy

Commercial wood chipper questions.

How much does a commercial wood chipper cost?

The price of a commercial or industrial wood chipper depends on capacity, engine and whether the machine is towable or tracked. The new Först XR8D tracked chipper with wireless remote is listed at $86,750. Towable 6 inch and 8 inch models cost less. Call (707) 600-6696 for current pricing on the ST6P HD, ST8D and TR8D, and ask for a complete quote including freight, taxes and any options.

What size chipper does a tree service need, 6 inch or 8 inch?

A 6 inch wood chipper like the ST6P HD suits smaller crews, residential pruning and removals where most material is limbs and brush. An 8 inch wood chipper takes larger limbs and whole tops through an 8 × 10 inch feed opening, so crews spend less time cutting material down before it goes in. If you regularly handle wood over 6 inches, or run the chipper all day, step up to an 8 inch model.

Should I buy a tracked or a towable chipper?

Choose a towable chipper when your truck can reach the work: street trees, roadside jobs and open lots. Choose a tracked chipper when it can’t: back yards, wooded sites, slopes and fuel reduction work. A tracked machine drives to the material, which cuts the time your crew spends dragging brush.

Gas or diesel?

The 6 inch ST6P HD runs a 40 HP Vanguard gas engine. The 8 inch models are diesel: a 49 HP Doosan in the ST8D and a 55 HP Doosan in the TR8D and XR8D. The XR8D’s Tier 4 diesel uses a particulate filter and needs no DEF fluid.

Do you deliver outside California?

Yes. Bailey’s stocks Först equipment in Woodland, California and quotes delivery to your location across the West. Freight is quoted per customer, so ask for a complete delivered price.

Is financing available?

Yes. Financing is available through Bailey’s third-party lending partner, subject to credit approval. Ask about $0 down options, up to 90 days with no payments, and extended terms. Your final rate, down payment and terms depend on approval.
