Felling and Wood Chipping a Birch Tree (14HP Wood Chipper)

Forest Master Professional 14HP Petrol Wood Chipper & Garden Shredder FM14DD.
With the help of Tim, we felled a birch tree and chipped all branches down with the brand new Forest Master Direct Drive 14HP Chipper (FM14DD).
Watch as we show the tree being neatly felled and efficiently chipped down in just an afternoons work. We also demonstrate how simple and easy it is to both assemble and disassemble the chipper from the back of a small van.
The direct-drive and compact design allow the petrol wood chipper to be very quickly manoeuvred, assembled or disassembled and can be efficiently stored in the back of a small van if you require a machine that can easily travel from location to location.
The FM14DD is able to chip and shred any wood up to 4″ in diameter, making it perfect for big garden jobs. Powering the chipper is the very latest LCT Maxx 14HP 460cc 4-stroke petrol engine which spins the drum at 3600RPM. This means it’s capable of chipping any freshly cut wood from hard to soft.
The 14HP wood chipper is our first brand new release of 2022 and is available for purchase right now! Head over to our website to find out more.

Nice compact little chipper 😊

Great touch showing how to load it in the van!

The problem with the Forest Master chippers is that they can only cope with 'green' wood, ie that has been cut within the last few days. After that the chipper tries to chip the wood into dust and blocks up in no time flat.
Fastenings are not a single component but washer, split washer and nut - not ideal when you are out in the field - take a sheet to put it on so you don't loose anything.
Some other chippers of similar power don't have this issue suggesting a design issue with the Forest Master chipper - so preferably look elsewhere if the wood to chip is more than a few days old!!.

Interesting to hear, after getting bad results with dryer wood did it deal with green stuff well again or were the blades dull?

[@rtreborg8472]

@@zopEnglandzip It dulled the blades. Forest Master confirmed the issue about trying to cut non-green wood. The blades still cut green-wood - but did not appear to be as sharp though difficult to evaluate since I was cutting a variety of difference woods and difference wood ages. However the 'dusting' from trying to cut non-green wood was consistent. I've not as yet been able to try chipping non-green wood after a shower - though this will only damper the surface of the wood.
I think the issue is the chipper blade is just a straight blade and not toothed so that it can dig into the wood. Yes it will make the cost of the blade more expensive - and more difficult to sharpen - something for Forest Master to experiment with?.
With the weather we have it is impractical to cut wood within a few days - and also deal with fallen wood which gives a similar issue.
If I was aware of the issues I would not have bought this chipper.

Keep grinding brother 🙌

[@jimhud134]

These things are around £2K i think, if I was spending that kind of money I would probably look at something else, possibly the Crytec road towable shredder.

Not a bad little chipper that

Anyone bought one of these yet?
Any good?
