Each wood chipper is extensively tested for safety and ease of use

All combinations of engines, chassis and versions possible

No, not every family business is a small enterprise that ripples along "from father to son. Take De Wild: over a hundred years of experience, fourth generation, specialized in machines and tools for garden and park for over fifty years, with the vision tightly focused on circular green management. In addition to the European distribution of the Silky and Okatsune brands, the company is present worldwide with its own brand GTM Professional. Thereby one imperative standard applies: safety and ease of use.

In 2005, De Wild began making its own wood chippers. The first 1300 model is still on the market. However, in the meantime countless developments have taken place, because the family business certainly does not sit still. In the Benelux, the machines are available through an extensive dealer network with excellent service and super fast delivery times. Outside the Benelux, De Wild has distributors all over the world. The company also has a branch in Costa Rica, which handles distribution in Latin America.

A wide range of machines for professionals: the 900- 1300- and 1800-series.

Robust and compact

Marketeer Diana de Keijzer: "Especially in terms of wood chippers, we have built a very solid market position. This is largely because our product specialists in our R&D center in Roosendaal seamlessly integrate new ideas and technologies. This is where our wood chippers are developed, updated and extensively tested. Here, the user and his safety are resolutely central. We ensure that our innovations above all make the end user's work easier. We always strive for a unique combination of robustness and compactness. Because no matter how powerful our machines are, they still need to be able to pass through narrow garden gates. Incidentally, they are available in just about any combination of engines, undercarriages (wheels/tracks) and output options."

Light and perfectly balanced

With the 900 series, GTM Professional shows that a professional wood chipper does not necessarily have to be a large, heavy machine. The advantage of such a compact machine is that it can be easily operated and moved by one person. The 900-series machines are suitable for branch diameters up to 8 centimeters and feature an extra-wide feeder for high working speed.

GTM Professional applies a rotor-shredding system on all wood chippers that produces beautiful chips. The blades have a long life and cut at right angles to the branches. The chipper system also contributes to the overall compactness of these machines. It is easy to operate and the pulling action eliminates the need for a separate system that guides the branches in. In the 900 Series, there is a choice between a standard or compo model, and between a fixed or pivoting high output. In addition to the high output, the unique compo models also have a low output to handle soft materials such as leaves and ornamental grasses.

Safety first

For those who need more capacity but still want to drive the machine to the job site instead of dragging the branches to the chipper, GTM Professional has developed the 1300 Series. These machines still fit through a standard garden gate, but handle thicker branch diameters and have a more advanced safety system. Pressing the emergency stop bracket around the feeder immediately stops the engine.

There are also several models in the 1300 series, including a 2-in-1 compo machine, a 1300 on tracks or with battery-powered wheels. As a showpiece, GTM Professional has a powerful 1300 with PTO drive and an 1800WD, both of which can handle branches up to 12 centimeters. This makes these machines suitable not only for garden and park, but also for forestry.
