14HP Petrol Wood Chipper with Electric Start
Exciting news! We’re now offering a 10% trade discount for all gardeners, landscapers and allotments when purchasing our FM14DD professional wood chipper.
The Forest Master FM14DDES garden shredder is an exceptional choice for anyone looking for a powerful and reliable machine to handle all of their garden waste. With its LCT Maxx 14HP 420cc 4-stroke petrol engine, it can easily shred wood up to 4 inches in diameter, making it perfect for large-scale projects.
One of the most unique features of this professional series shredder is its ability to rotate and adjust the chipper drum. This allows you to easily control the amount of material being processed at once, preventing the engine from stalling. The versatility of the drum rotation also offers different options for the type of materials you are shredding:
- The flat-angle hopper position offers easier loading and a higher discharge chute, making it suitable for larger pieces of wood.
- The regular angle position is ideal for shredding a variety of materials, including fresh soft and hardwood.
- The vertical hopper position is best for processing materials such as brash, cuttings, small branches, and free-fall leaves. This position allows for better control over the flow of materials, making it easier to handle smaller and more delicate pieces.
The feed hopper and exit chute feature a hinged design for easy access to the chipper drum, and the twin reversible blades are a great addition, eliminating the need for constant sharpening. Maintenance is simple, with only the oil level and cutting blades needing regular attention.
In summary, the Forest Master FM14DDES is perfect for shredding large volumes of garden waste on a regular basis. Its powerful engine, versatile design, and ease of maintenance make it the ideal choice for anyone looking to tackle big garden and landscaping tasks with ease.
Additionally, this machine stands out from the competition with its unique hopper design. Unlike other machines that utilize a wedge-shaped hopper, the FM14DDES features a hopper that stays close to a 1:1 ratio. This means that branches you feed into the hopper will not hit a choke point as they reach the drum, reducing the risk of blockages and increasing the branch diameter capacity. With the FM14DDES you can be confident that the branches you feed into the hopper will be processed efficiently and effectively, without the need for constant clearing of blockages. This feature makes the FM14DDES a more reliable and efficient option for tackling large-scale garden waste projects.

Early days but seems a good machine so far
Haven’t used it so much yet but very impressed with its power and ability to chip up conifer etc upto now !,build quality seems very good as well .
Great piece of kit
Generally “Properjob”, an impressive machine – I also purchased the mulching accessory which produces very consistent size <10mm chips. However a couple of minor comments:- 1. The non-EU standard (far eastern) adjustment nuts are a pain (e.g. 18mm for M12). I have in-fact fitted large hand clamping knobs on the 3 chute angle adjustment bolts to greatly facilitate quick adjustment without tools out in the Forest without the risk of forgetting them or losing them in the leaf litter!
2. The wiring is a mess - surely including a few cable ties on such a high cost product would not break the bank!
3. Finally a handing tip - raising the feed chute to maximum height and locking it greatly facilitates manoeuvring the shredder around site like a sack truck because it shifts its centre of gravity to over the wheels - otherwise it is very a cumbersome pain in the bum to handle....
Look a good heavy duty machine
