What commercial grade means
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 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.

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

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.

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

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
An arborist chipper compact enough for the city that still takes 8 inch hardwood. Adjustable feed speed for whatever the job hands you.
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.
Towable chippers for roadside and right-of-way work, with simple controls for rotating crews and service reminders built in.

Before you buy
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.
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.
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.
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.
