    A favourite in the rail industry, this tracked woodchipper gets the chipping performance of a Först right to the trickiest locations. With its Traxion embankment system the machine will climb banks up to 35 degrees and offers huge ground clearance when you need it.


    HIGH SPEED TRACKING

    Hosting a 37HP petrol engine which is much lighter engine than the diesel unit, but putting out more horse power and offering a staggering performance and chipping speed. This engine picks up quicker when the no stress cuts in than a diesel, which means this machine is fast, it’s also as fuel efficient as the diesel believe it or not!


    STAGE 5 COMPLIANT DIESEL

    Phenomenal performance from a 55hp Doosan DPF diesel. A robust and proven engine offering exceptional performance and chipping speed.


    STRENGTH

    Robust build quality with heavy gauge steel where it is neede and plenty of support under the hopper to ensure the machine will stand up to the bounding produced when transported behind a tractor.


    AUTOINTELLIGENCE CONTROL

    A simple yet advanced electrical control system taking care of all the electrics on the machine. Historically electrics on plant and machinery are a troublesome – AutoIntelligence overcomes this with a completely water and vibration proof system designed and tested in the toughest environments. This system gives excellent usability and outstanding reliability, it will also make you aware when servicing is due and will recommend routine maintenance.


    AMAZING VELOCITY

    This machine will get rid of chip seriously fast and hard even if it is wet and green. A massive benefit when throwing chip up the bankside thanks to the huge flywheel system with twin 10” blades.


    TRAXION EMBANKMENT SYSTEM + SPEED

    Tough and robust scissor action parallel leg system gives this machine exceptional versatility allowing you to expand and retract the legs independently to make for safe tracking on the bank side or simply to negotiate over obstacles.


    FORSTGRIP FEED ROLLER SYSTEM

    Twin hydraulic horizontal feed roller system offering exceptional grip on timber. The large top feed lifts on an arc, climbing toward the timber rather than lifting straight up and down, this makes climbing butt ends exceptional. High tension due to twin heavy duty springs and a large bearings supporting either side of the top feed roller ensures strength and durability
