How the ST8D is built

  • FörstGrip feed rollers

    Twin hydraulic rollers. The top one lifts on an arc and is held down by two heavy springs, so it climbs over butt ends and drags in forks and awkward limbs.

  • Open-top flywheel

    A 728 × 30 mm flywheel with twin 10-inch blades and rear draught fins throws the chip to the front of the truck, wet material included.

  • 55hp Doosan diesel

    A 55hp Doosan DPF diesel that needs no AdBlue (DEF).

  • AutoIntelligence control

    Sealed electronics that run the no-stress feed, tell you when a service is due and prompt the routine checks. Proof against water and vibration.

  • Touch-button feed

    Illuminated IP69-rated touch pads on both sides of the hopper, with a traditional feed bar as well.

  • Built to last

    Heavy-gauge steel where it matters and extra support under the hopper.

  • Variable roller speed

    Slow the feed for hardwood, speed it up for brash.

  • Easy-access anvil

    The anvil turns or swaps in minutes, so a fresh edge is never a workshop job.

  • Clear fuel tank

    A see-through 35-litre tank with a wide filler neck. You can read the level from across the yard.
