Forest Master FM6DDES Review

The Forest Master FM6DDES Wood Chipper is a high performance machine which easily converts hard and soft branches with a diameter of up to 50mm into wood chips. It has a 6HP LCT Maxx Series 208cc 4-stroke petrol engine. Starting this engine is easy thanks to its electric start functionality, although it does have a backup pull start system as well.

The Forest Master FM6DDES Wood Chipper has twin reversible blades which can be flipped in order to make them last twice as long. We like the fact that the chipper's discharge chute can be angled so that you can deposit wood chips where you want them. From a design perspective, the chipper is compact, lightweight and well balanced. It's also extremely easy to maintain.
