Would adjustable roller speed not be better? speed it up for brash and down for timber.

They do have them dave, it goes from stop to v slow lol. I know what Dean is getting at though.

I think in general you should take all opinions on here with a pinch of salt on here Simon. Look as what you need try some and make your decision suited to you

Dont think it would suit us with the mileage that gets covered.

Also a machine is only as good as its back up. Some have crap aftersales and some take your money and run.

 

Good luck

Seem well built but it's only 7.5" and that's slow on the in feed without a massive letterbox opening!

Forst backup is pretty good. any issues we have had have been dealt with pretty promptly. I think the ST8 is an awesome machine for its size/weight. The bandit 75 which I also demoed is a well built machine but the feed rollers are painfully slow. I love bandits, I just bought a 250 pto machine, but I wouldn't have a 75, it must be about 3'longer than the forst and probably 500kg heavier, and the rollers are too slow. Awesome crushing power, but then the crushing on the forst is pretty good and it really pulls the stuff through quickly. I'm really surprised bandit haven't put faster roller motors on the 75, the one I demoed was years ago and it sounds like they haven't changed. With faster infeed that machine would be a big seller.

 

I've got a ducker / tp200 on the mog now though and that seems pretty good....

I have a forst ST8 for sale if anyone hadn't noticed. 6 chippers is too many, the yard is starting to look like Alan masons.
