Wood Chipping & Garden Shredding
What is the best wood chipper on the market?
The Forest Master FM6DD features a powerful 208cc engine which makes light work of foliage up to 2 inches (50mm). How? Well, it has a powerful 3600 rpm featuring a direct drive without any belts. Why does that matter? Well, you’re guaranteed to never lose performance, this machine is built to last! Remember when I mentioned they’re ingenious? Well, their adjustable chute that launches chips straight into a wheelbarrow or bag makes the FM6DD just that. No other wood chipper is so powerful, precise & pacey.

Most other wood chippers are reliant on a drive belt that is connected to the belt. Why is this a problem? Well, it reduces the lifespan of the machine. What’s the point in investing in a machine to have it breakdown! Moreover, a direct drive enables you to future proof yourself and worry no more!
Our experts here at Forest Master conduct hours of research. Their findings suggest that the belt is the part of the machine most likely to give out. Furthermore, this means that by removing the belt, we remove the need for regular services, maintenance and/or replacements. No belt, no problems, no headaches – just easy chipping.

Furthermore, this allows you to pack up and go to the job and then easily stack up and store when finished. No more stressing over the size of the garden gate or whether your shed is big enough – Forest Master’s got you covered.
