Taking Chippers Off The Beaten Track

Först USA is changing how crews chip brush, whether the job is deep off-road or right at the curb.

When conditions turn rough, Först tracked chippers come into their own. Built for serious chipping power in places other machines struggle to reach, they help crews work faster, smarter, and with less physical ef- fort. Instead of dragging brush back to the roadside, operators take the chipper straight to the timber. That saves hours on every job, reduces fatigue, and keeps productivity moving all day. But access is not always the challenge. On many jobs, efficiency at the truck and consistency through the chipper matter just as much. That is where Först’s towed machines earn their keep.

BIG POWER, LIGHT FOOTPRINT Most heavy equipment is tough on the ground. Skid steers rut turf. Trucks chew up lawns. Too often, crews spend just as much time fixing damage as they do removing trees. Först tracked chippers are built differently. Compact, balanced, and agile, they move confidently across lawns, woodland, and rough terrain without tearing the site apart. That makes them a smart choice for golf courses, parks, ski resorts, trail systems, and anywhere ground disturbance is not an option. Towed Först chippers bring the same mindset to roadside and residential work. With a compact foot- print and predictable handling, they slot neatly into tight driveways, narrow streets, and urban job sites. Crews spend less time repositioning and more time feeding material, keeping jobs moving without un- necessary disruption.

BUILT FOR EVERY TERRAIN AND EVERY JOB The Först lineup is designed to give crews real choice. For off-road access and challenging terrain, the tracked range leads the way. The TR8 is the production workhorse, an 8-inch tracked chipper built for serious throughput when big jobs demand big output. The XR8 takes capability further still, purpose-built for banks, slopes, and uneven ground where access is limited and conditions are extreme. For crews that live on the road, Först’s towed machines deliver the same aggressive performance in a simpler, lighter package. The ST6P offers a powerful, reliable 6-inch solution that is easy to tow, straightforward to operate, and tough enough for daily commercial use. It is a favorite with arborists who want strong performance without unnecessary complexity. Step up to the ST8 and crews get full 8-inch capacity in a towed format that balances power with control. It is equally at home on residential streets, commercial sites, and municipal work, making it a versatile option for contractors and rental fleets alike.

THE FÖRST DIFFERENCE Every Först chipper is engineered with one goal in mind: keeping crews productive. From fire mitigation and storm cleanup to roadside work, golf course main- tenance, and residential tree care, Först machines are built to work hard in the real world. With aggressive feed systems, consistent power, and machines designed around how crews actually oper- ate, Först chippers do more than keep up. They help crews finish jobs faster, cleaner, and with less effort. Little chipper Big job. 860-761-8610 sales@forst-usa.com
