A few details.
A clear next step.
Is the wireless remote included?
Yes. This $86,750 XR8D configuration includes the wireless remote. Ask our equipment team to walk you through the controls and setup. The winch and lighting tower are optional equipment; ask about availability and pricing.
Is this a new machine?
Yes. Bailey’s inventory lists this as a new 2025 Först XR8D with remote. The four inventory photos on this page come from that listing. Call to confirm current availability and delivery timing.
What makes Traxion different from standard tracks?
The XR8D’s scissor-action parallel legs extend and retract independently, allowing the track system to adapt to banks and obstacles. Först advertises bank capability up to 35 degrees and ground clearance up to 27 inches. Actual use depends on ground conditions, setup and the operating manual.
Is the XR8D self-propelled?
Yes. The XR8D is a self-propelled wood chipper that drives on its own rubber tracks, so you can move it across a site without a tow vehicle. This configuration includes a wireless remote for positioning the machine.
What slope can a tracked chipper work on?
Först advertises bank capability up to 35 degrees for the XR8D, with ground clearance up to 27 inches from its independent Traxion legs. These are manufacturer specifications. What is workable on your site depends on ground conditions, setup and the operating manual.
How does the remote control work?
The wireless remote lets the operator drive and position the XR8D from a distance, with a clear view of the machine’s path. Ask a Bailey’s specialist to walk you through the controls and setup.
Can I finance the XR8D?
Financing is available through Bailey’s third-party lending partner, subject to credit approval. Ask about $0 down, up to 90 days with no payments, and extended terms. Your final rate, down payment, payment schedule and terms depend on approval.
Can Bailey’s help with a demo, delivery and parts?
Yes. Talk with our equipment team about demo arrangements, delivery to your location and the support your operation needs. Bailey’s stocks Först equipment and chipper knives in Woodland, California. Ask for a complete quote including applicable freight, taxes and any optional equipment.
