Först, a leading supplier of high performance and robust woodchippers, showcased its range of wheeled, tracked and PTO woodchippers, including the new XR8 Traxion and PT6 machines, at this years Arb Show at Westonbirt National Arboretum.

Först highlighted its range of robust and reliable woodchippers designed for utility and domestic arboriculture, while giving tree surgeons, arborists and contractors the opportunity to speak to its team of experts on a dedicated stand.

As a key supporter of the event, Först also sponsored one of The Arb Show’s major new attractions in the main arena, the Inch Perfect Trials, where a motorbike display team performed stunts over Först machinery.

Visitors to the stand were able to get a close look at the new XR8 Traxion, being exhibited for the first time in the UK, which is a fast, powerful and exceptionally versatile woodchipper specifically designed to traverse banks and slopes up to 35 degrees with ease.

Also on stand was the new PT6 woodchipper that has its own hydraulic system and reservoir, meaning the machine doesn’t need to be connected to a power unit’s hydraulic system.

Doug Ghinn, Director at Först, said: “We are very passionate about the Först brand, which has come such a long way in such a short space of time, and were really excited to be showcasing the new machines in the range. It’s great to be able to exhibit the new products that bring all the advantages that come with buying a Först to a wider market and industry sector.”
