This Farmi Forest CH 260 is a used wood chipper — also known as a wood shredder — designed to process timber and woody material into uniform wood chips for biomass fuel, composting, landscaping, or forest management applications. Farmi Forest is a Finnish manufacturer with a long-established reputation for producing robust forestry and wood-processing equipment, including log splitters, winches, and chippers, serving professional forestry contractors and agricultural operators across Europe and beyond.
Built in 2006 and currently located in Latvia, this machine is offered at $14,500 and carries a comprehensive set of specifications translated from the seller's original documentation. The chipper accepts logs and timber up to 260 mm in diameter through a feed opening of 260 × 320 mm, making it capable of handling substantial roundwood in a professional forestry setting. Chip thickness is adjustable across a range of 3 to 25 mm, giving operators flexibility depending on the intended end use of the material produced.
The rotor measures 1,050 mm in diameter and is fitted with two knives. It is driven via PTO shaft at a recommended speed of 1,000 rpm, with a rated input of 540 rpm also noted, and requires a tractor delivering between 40 and 115 kW to operate correctly. This broad power band means the machine is compatible with a wide range of agricultural and forestry tractors. The rotor assembly itself weighs 240 kg, and the total machine weight is 890 kg.
Chip output capacity is stated at 10 to 40 cubic metres per hour depending on material and conditions. The standard discharge chute measures 3.0 metres, directing chips efficiently into a trailer or collection point. Feeding is handled by a hydraulic infeed system with manual feed control, allowing the operator to regulate material flow safely and precisely.
