Forest Master FM4DDE Review

The Forest Master FM4DDE Compact Electric Chipper is a quick, effective and easy to use means of turning branches with a diameter of up to 50mm into wood chips. It's a self-feeding machine with a mains powered 2800W motor which utilises Direct Drive technology and delivers a consistently powerful performance. We like the fact that its chute can be angled, thereby letting you direct the wood chips where you please.
