New electric self-propelled woodchipper launched across UK

Jo Beau has launched an electric self-propelled woodchipper that combines professional-grade chipping technology, enhanced productivity, manoeuvrability, and operator comfort for landscapers and gardeners.

The M400 Drive™ builds on Jo Beau’s renowned Pro-Line range and features an electric self-propulsion system for effortless movement across slopes, uneven terrain, and confined spaces.

Powered by a 20 hp Honda petrol engine with electric start, it delivers consistent, reliable performance in demanding professional environments.

Using Jo Beau’s proven drum technology™, the M400 Drive™ efficiently processes branches up to 100–120mm in diameter, producing uniform, high-quality woodchips. Its wide feed opening and ergonomic design minimise operator fatigue and support faster, more efficient work on-site.

“The M400 Drive™ is a game-changer for professional users,” said Global Machinery Solutions’ Managing Director, Edward Baker. “Jo Beau has developed a machine that really addresses the challenges faced by arborists and landscapers, and we are excited to bring it to the UK. Its self-propelled design and compact build make it ideal for difficult terrain and tight sites.”
