Description
The Forestwest BM11066 150mm Hydraulic Feed Wood Chipper is designed for farms, acreage properties, contractors and operators who regularly process larger branches and want powered material feeding rather than relying solely on gravity feed.
A RATO 27HP 740cc twin-cylinder 4-stroke petrol engine provides standalone power, while the hydraulic feed system uses powered rollers to pull branches toward the cutting system. Feed speed is adjustable from 0–600rpm, with maximum hydraulic torque of 240N·m, reducing the manual effort required to control larger or heavier branches.
The current Forestwest specification lists a 150mm maximum chipping diameter and processing capacity of 5–7m³/h. Two 200mm HSS blades perform the cutting, while electric start and a centrifugal clutch support convenient operation during regular heavy-duty use.
Key Features & Benefits
- Hydraulic Auto-Feed System: Powered feed rollers pull branches toward the cutting system, reducing manual feeding effort compared with gravity-feed machines.
- 150mm Maximum Chipping Diameter: Designed for substantial branches and larger-scale green-waste processing.
- 27HP 740cc RATO Engine: Twin-cylinder petrol engine provides standalone power for demanding chipping work.
- Electric Start: Key-start ignition improves convenience for regular use.
- Adjustable Hydraulic Feed: Feed speed ranges from 0–600rpm with maximum torque of 240N·m.
- 10mL/r Hydraulic Pump: Operates at a maximum hydraulic pressure of 20MPa.
- 5–7m³/h Chipping Capacity: Designed for productive processing of larger volumes of branch material.
- Two 200mm HSS Blades: High-speed steel cutting blades provide durable cutting performance.
- Centrifugal Clutch: Provides smoother power engagement between the engine and cutting system.
- 6L Fuel Tank: Supports extended operation between refuelling stops.
For users who need 150mm branch capacity but do not require hydraulic feed, the Forestwest BM11062 20HP 150mm Wood Chipper provides a lower-cost gravity-feed alternative. For smaller material, the BM11073E 120mm E-Start Wood Chipper may be more suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is hydraulic feed?
The BM11066 uses powered hydraulic feed rollers to pull branches toward the cutting system, reducing the amount of manual feeding required from the operator.
2. What is the maximum chipping diameter?
The current Forestwest specification lists a maximum chipping diameter of 150mm.
3. What engine does BM11066 use?
It uses a RATO 27HP 740cc 4-stroke petrol engine with electric start.
4. Is the feed speed adjustable?
Yes. The hydraulic feeding speed is specified from 0–600rpm with maximum torque of 240N·m.
5. What is its chipping capacity?
The current specification lists 5–7 cubic metres per hour.
6. BM11062 or BM11066?
Both are specified for 150mm material. BM11062 is a 20HP gravity-feed machine, while BM11066 uses a 27HP engine and hydraulic powered feeding for heavier and more frequent workloads.
7. Does BM11066 have electric start?
Yes. It uses electric key start.
8. Who is BM11066 designed for?
It is aimed at larger acreage properties, farms, contractors and users who regularly process substantial quantities of branches and benefit from powered hydraulic feeding.
