Forst Wheeled Wood Chippers
ST6P was the first Forst to have a petrol engine. It has a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard, 37HP fuel injected V twin engine, it has been tested against the 35hp diesel and the difference in fuel efficiency is marginal. With petrol engines being quicker to respond than a diesel this machine really does chip fast. The engine is quicker to regain maximum revs when the ‘no stress’ device cuts in, meaning it rips through larger timber quickly and It is a sub 750kg machine. ST6P features Forstgrip feed rollers, wide feed hopper, open flywheel system, AutoIntelligence, variable feed roller speed, robust c section chassis, feed hopper, chute & handle as well as locking hitch. It offers easy access to chamber and anvil, touch button controls, clear 30ltr fuel tank, LED lights as standard and central grease bank.
