This Forst ST8D55 is a used wood chipper — sometimes called a brush chipper or tree chipper — a machine designed to reduce branches, limbs, and woody debris into uniform wood chips. Forst is a well-regarded manufacturer specialising in professional wood chipping equipment, serving arborists, forestry contractors, landscapers, and grounds maintenance operations.
The machine is a 2020 model in good used condition and is currently located in Hungary, offered at $24,950.
The chipper accepts branches up to 150 mm × 200 mm in cross-section, giving it a practical intake capacity suited to substantial branch and stem material up to approximately 15 cm in diameter. Power is provided by a 55-horsepower engine, and the fuel tank holds 30 litres, supporting extended working periods between refuelling stops. The declared sound level is 122 dB, which is typical of drum or disc chippers operating at full output, and appropriate hearing protection should be expected during operation.
The machine's overall dimensions are 4,632 mm in length, 2,442 mm in height, and 1,569 mm in width, with a total operating weight of 1,375 kg. These figures place it in the mid-range of towed professional chippers, and prospective buyers should verify towing vehicle capacity accordingly.
