Först at SALTEX: The Först line-up at Saltex displays a range of formidable woodchippers. There are wheeled and tracked machines to meet the needs of arborists, landscapers, groundcare professionals, and local authorities around the world.

In just nine years since building their first chipper, Först has become Europe’s leading woodchipper manufacturer and a global brand. In the UK, Först’s special emphasis at Saltex is on their entire towable range now being available to all customers, given the upcoming changes to towing regulations. Först boasts the world’s most powerful 6” wheeled chipper, the ST6D 42. Fast and hungry, the ST6D has a wide hopper, robust all-steel construction and derives its power from a 42hp Doosan DPF engine. There is also a 24hp Kubota, naturally aspirated diesel.

The Först ST8D is an 8” capacity wheeled 55hp chipper with a huge amount of torque and phenomenal power to make light work of any type of timber and brash up to 8” in diameter. The Doosan engine is Stage 5 compliant and coupled with the large Först ‘open top’ flywheel and FörstGrip feed roller system, it has all the performance and power while still weighing in at 1375kg. It will now be towable by anyone with a standard driving licence thanks to the upcoming change in regulations. For the fastest, most aggressive sub 750kg chipper look no further than the Först ST6P. It is the best-selling 6” capacity petrol woodchipper in the UK and Europe with masses of power from the fuel efficient and emission compliant Vanguard 37hp V-Twin engine. At its heart, the ST6P uses the same chipping chamber, flywheel, feed roller system and hopper as its big brother, the ST6D, yet it remains sub 750kg.

Anybody looking for a turntable chipper that is fast, aggressive, robust yet incredibly compact and user friendly will find it in the Först TT6. It is a true 6” x 8” capacity machine that handles all types of material, from the dense and wet to awkward forks and limbs. It weighs in at less than 750kg and is a perfect match for the contractor and arborist working in an urban area. The Först TR8D is the ultimate for anyone who needs a tracked chipper, with its 55hp diesel engine delivering aggressive performance. High-speed tracking and remote control come as an option. Saltex stand C050. For more information, visit www.forstglobal.com or call +44 1264 721790.

Polaris expands Youth line-up

Polaris expands Youth line-up: New for 2022, Polaris brings innovation and advancement to the youth side-by-side category with the introduction of the new RZR 200 EFI.

Replacing the popular RZR 170, the new RZR 200 establishes a new standard for youth riding thanks to exclusive safety innovations, including speed limiting, geofencing and new Helmet Aware technology.

Polaris expands Youth line-up

Aimed at riders aged 10 and up and designed to grow with young riders as they build more skill and confidence, the RZR 200 features a new 180cc engine with electronic fuel injection, delivering enough power to manage and overcome varying terrain without falling behind, as well as dual A-arm suspension on the front and independent rear suspension delivering seven inches of suspension travel and ten inches of ground clearance for a smooth ride.

Controlled via the Youth Ride Control App, the new Helmet Aware technology allows parents to pre-set the vehicle’s controls so that the vehicle won’t start when the helmet beacon is out of the vehicle gauge range, meaning that fun is always paired with a helmet. The RZR 200 EFI comes equipped with two youth helmets and an attachable Bluetooth beacon, and helmet detection can be enabled or disabled via the Youth Ride Control App. When no helmet is detected, users have the option to disable the start of the vehicle, limit the speed or display a warning to the rider.

In addition to Helmet Aware technology on the Youth Ride Control App, parents can also set the maximum speed of the vehicle to ensure children ride at the appropriate speed for their age, ability and terrain, as well as utilize geofencing technology to keep the vehicle within set riding boundaries and speed limits within set areas.

Children can share the fun with the passenger seating inside the RZR 200 EFI, and there are hard doors fitted as standard to keep the kids in, whilst everything else remains outside. The RZR 200 also features a high-visibility flag and LED headlights and tail lights for improved rider visibility in low-light conditions. Kids can also make the RZR their own with a full range of accessories available, including vehicle protection like front and rear bumpers, rock sliders and cab options like a windshield and roof, plus wheel and tyre options.

The rest of the Youth line-up also receives all-new upgrades and improvements. The Ranger 150 features quality and user safety upgrades including the new Helmet Aware technology, and the Outlaw 70 EFI has reduced throttle effort, an improved turning radius and an added battery charging port.
