Först, a leading
supplier of high performance and robust woodchippers, will be showcasing its
latest fuel efficient, petrol powered machines at this year’s Arb Show at
Westonbirt National Arboretum.
At the heart of the
stand will be Först’s ST6 P woodchipper, a six-inch capacity machine that is
powered by a 37hp V twin petrol engine, meaning the woodchipper not only weighs
under 750kg, but also meets Stage V emissions regulations coming into force in
2019.
Powered by the same
engine, the TR6 P will also be showcased on stand, highlighting the efficiency
benefits of the new petrol driven fleet and how the woodchippers can match the
strength and performance users have some to expect from Först’s diesel powered
machines.
Doug Ghinn, Director
at Först, said: “We are very excited to be exhibiting our new petrol
woodchippers in support of our established ranges as this allows tree surgeons
and contractors to see up close the exceptional performance, reliability and
true value our machines can deliver.
“The Arb Show is a
highlight on our event calendar and offers everyone from trade professionals
through to those simply just starting their arboriculture career a fantastic
opportunity to lean more about all aspects of the industry.”
Visitors to the
stand will also be able to get a close look at Först’s extensive range of
established wheeled, tracked and PTO woodchippers. These include the XR8
Traxion, a powerful and exceptionally versatile woodchipper specifically
designed to traverse banks and slopes up to 35 degrees with ease, and the PT6,
which has its own hydraulic system and reservoir, meaning the machine doesn’t
need to be connected to a power unit’s hydraulic system.
