The Först XR8 Traxion is the ultimate utility arboricultural contractor’s wood chipper; tough and fast with the ability to get right where you need it.
Never before has such a high performance chipper been able to access places the XR8 can simply crawl to. The Traxion embankment system has a tough and robust scissor action parallel leg system to give the machine exceptional versatility. The legs expand and retract independently to make for safe tracking on the bank side and negotiate over obstacles.
No strength has been spared or corners cut with a machine as safety critical as the XR8. This machine is designed to work in his risk areas like steep embankments, made extra tough with huge bolts and plenty of steel.
The unique Först feed-roller system gives exceptional crushing power and the infamous ForstGrip top feed-roller climbs on an arc toward the timber, pulling the material toward the flywheel and naturally climbing butt ends to make infeed grip exceptional. The XR8 breaks the toughest forks and limbs with twin high tension springs either side of the roller as well as sheer weight.
