- Here's my first hands on experiences with the Forest Master FM6 Direct Drive Chipper, and how to solve some of its quirky little problems!
Also a bit if climbing through a delicate reduction on a TPO'd veteran cherry.
I've recently bought one of these for my gardening business in London as I was spending so much time cutting things into small pieces to put into bags to carry through peoples small houses because many have no side access.
Nice to see other peoples opinions on this machine, and I'd also be interested to see a sharpening video
Sharpening video is up 👍 ...how do you find it yourself? I'm still learning how adjusting the cutting depth works - think I've got it dialled in now though; its ripping branches out of my hand now instead of having to push them through 😉
Great video, fantastic watch. I really enjoyed it.
Cheers mate :) ...will have a followup one soon 🤙
Defo interested in a blade sharpening video as soon as you can mate... just bought a lumag 100mm chipper ( was very tempted by these too! )
Hopefully the blades are better in the lumag and not made of cheese otherwise, im going to be sourcing some carbide ones! 🤣🤣🙈
Be up before the new year 😉
I like the slow-mo time lapse with the pan mixed in.
Cheers dude I’ll remember that 😉
I've been looking / reading reviews for these sorts of chippers with the cutting drum supported by the engine crankshaft only on the engine end. No surprise, it's not uncommon for the crankshaft to bend or break off where it exits the engine due to not being supported by a bearing on the non-engine side of the drum. This unit seems to have that support.
It does and it’s rock solid - I would however suggest the FM9 might be a better buy, or the FM14 if you can stretch that far…
The FM9 - although I don’t have one myself - is what I’d consider the sweet spot for price vs performance with these drum chippers 👍
The small one is great, it just needs a wider feed chute
hi great video , where did u get the internal rubber chute from please
Hey mate it’s called a rubble loader from screwfix :) retrospectively though a cheapo 60-80l kitchen bin would probably work better 👍
Carbide is great for many things its my go to when possible but for a chipper I wouldnt do it. They will for sure brake, they are extremely brittle.
To be honest they’re not that bad - but it’s definitely the weak spot… I’ve since bought a spare set and just keep them razor 👍
could you show the machine being used at normal speed please?
Hey mate check out some of my more recent videos - they might not be named about the chipper but I use it in most of them 🤙
