Först Cadet 6 Wood Chipper

A compact 6-inch wood chipper built for smaller crews, lighter towing, and straightforward daily use.

Short tagline: A lighter 6-inch chipper that still delivers proper Först performance.

Engine & drive

The Först Cadet 6 uses a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 23hp V Twin petrol engine. Because this engine is matched to a lighter machine format, it gives the Cadet 6 solid chipping performance while keeping the package compact and easy to tow. The page also states that the engine comes with a 3-year warranty.

The Cadet 6 sits on a road tow chassis, and its key selling point is that it comes in under 750kg. As a result, it is easier to tow with a standard car licence.

Deck / working head

The Först Cadet 6 has a feed roller aperture of 6” x 8” / 150mm x 200mm. Because of that opening, it is aimed at 6-inch class brash and timber handling.

It uses the FörstGrip Feed Roller System, which includes twin hydraulic feed rollers. As a result, the rollers grip and pull material in efficiently while handling forks and uneven timber more easily.

The flywheel system is listed as an Open Top Flywheel (640 x 25mm) Twin 8” Blades. Therefore, the machine uses a proper twin-blade chipping setup for consistent output.

Frame / chassis / build

The page states the Cadet 6 uses robust GRP panels combined with a premium fabricated ‘C’ section chassis. Because of this, the machine maintains durability while keeping overall weight low.

The listed weight is 745kg, with a width of 1.4m, length of 3.1m (hopper up), and height of 2.4m (with chute). As a result, it remains compact and easy to transport.

Comfort & controls

The Först Cadet 6 features fully water and vibration proof touch button controls. Because of this layout, operators can control feed and reverse functions quickly and easily.

It also includes a 30 litre fuel tank with a wide neck, which makes refuelling straightforward. In addition, variable feed roller speed allows operators to match feed speed to the material being processed.

The machine uses the AutoIntelligence No Stress Device, which helps maintain consistent performance under load. Therefore, it supports smoother operation during demanding tasks.

Why choose Först Cadet 6?

Choose the Först Cadet 6 if you want a genuine Först 6-inch chipper in a lighter and more accessible format.

Because it comes in under 750kg, it is easier to tow, and because it uses the same chipping chamber design as larger models, it still delivers strong real-world performance. As a result, it suits landscapers, entry-level arborists, and hire fleets.
