Pruning Elders and Using The Forest Master 6Hp Wood chipper

Hand pruning some Elder shrubs, just getting a light prune to reduce the height slightly and clearing the cuttings, turning them into woodchip for mulch using a very small petrol wood chipper. Forest master FM6DD.

I am tempted by these Forester chippers These are pretty nifty machines

I was on the fence for awhile about getting 1, but the size and weight swung it for me as i can lift it up steps and into awkward spaces etc if needed, so far i am not disappointed 👍

@@RJLgardens hopefully ia few months in I might treat myself . Seen a few of you guys using them and recommending them. Seen them do some tough stuff! Could help with me not dragging a of stuff away.

Handy sized machine mate.

[@RJLgardens]

Certainly is mate, can see myself using it loads this year. 👍

Have been thinking of getting one but wanted to make sure i got the right chipper. I want something small I can lift into the van for small pruning jobs. Would you recommend this and does it clog on leafy stuff?

[@RJLgardens]

I really like this lil chipper, its such a handy size, it can cope with leafy stuff (with a stem) as long as you dont overload it. They do a shredder version as well. 👍

Great vid. I have been thinking of getting one but I am unsure between the electric and the petrol version. Has anyone experienced with the FM4DDE, the electric version? They say you can only use a maximum of 10m extension cord. I would need my 50m extension cord would it still work? Also, it's a 4HP electric motor against a 6HP petrol engine but the same 50mm diam max size. Does it make sense?

[@RJLgardens]

Dont know anything about the electric 1, petrol would certainly be more powerful. Depends on your needs really. Its a handy little chipper to have 👍

[@agusjarlim]

The electric one probably has a similar torque to the 6hp gasoline engine, so it will be able to handle a similar diameter, perhaps grinding a little more slowly.

Now that's a pocket sized chipper 😂

Yeh its tiny mate 😂, comes in so handy at times 👍
