Why August Is the Best Time to Stock Up on Forst Blades

Why August Is the Best Time to Stock Up on Forst Blades

It's the first week of August, and this month, we are offering great deals on Forst compatible blades! It's perfect timing, as August is the ideal month for stocking up on chipper blades. But why?

 As summer winds down, arborists, landscapers, and tree surgeons across the UK are already thinking ahead, and with good reason. Now is the perfect time to restock and replace your blades before the demanding autumn season kicks in. If you're running a Forst wood chipper, here’s your chance to sharpen up, save money, and avoid costly downtime later.

Read on to find out why August is the smart choice for blade and business preparation:

1. Autumn Workloads Are Coming, So Be Ready!

Autumn is often peak season for clearance work, storm clean-up, and heavy chipping jobs. The last thing you want is to get caught out with dull or damaged blades when business picks up.

Stocking up now means you're ready for:

  • Increased site work from mid September onwards

  • Last minute contract jobs

  • Fast turnaround on emergency callouts

2. Blade Downtime Means Business Downtime

Worn out blades can cause:

  • Slower chipper performance
  • Machinery damage
  • Blockages and increased fuel use
  • Frustrating job delays, which can be costly

By replacing your chipper blades before they give up on you, you stay efficient, safe, and profitable.

Tip: When maximising profit matters, Rotatech chipper blades are the smart choice for your machine, and that includes Forst. Engineered to match the exact specifications, Rotatech blades offer the same quality, durability, and performance, at a fraction of the cost. By cutting out the middleman, we manufacture premium chipper blades directly, helping you save without compromising on results.

Pro Tip: Don't Forget Sharpening!

As well as replacing broken, used up blades and stocking up on spares, we highly recommend ensuring all of your blades are sharpened and ready to go for when September/October arrives.

Dull blades, as mentioned earlier, can severely hinder your operations, and Rotatech chipper blades can be sharpened multiple times before needing replacing. We suggest using a professional service to ensure the job is done as well as possible and avoid risking issues caused by uneven or poorly sharpened blades.

The Rotatech blade sharpening service is quick and easy to book online, with a speedy turnaround time of just 3-5 working days.
