Jensen dealer backup

Gray Git - that 's pretty sh1te and I'm suprised with that as all of my dealings with Redwood have been positive over the years. Heard a  mixed bag of reports on the Forst's but considered that Redwood support would cover any issues during the warranty period . I demo'd one of the very first machines they made (an ST6) ,  as they brought it up to me instead of a Jensen! . I bought a Jensen instead as I needed a lightweight machine for my fleet at that time due to the younger drivers. I have to say out of all my Jensens this last one (750 Contrator) has been very poor in terms of the build quality. Paint and panelling leave a lot to be desired, snapped axle, cracked welding etc. etc.....but at least you know you have it on the back of truck due to all the knocking and banging it makes going down the road!
I was impressed by the throughput of material on the Forst ST8 's we have hired for clearance jobs but to my mind they almost seem too hungry and aggessive ? might be wrong here but I had formed the opinion that the components would not be able to withstand that intensity of chipping over the longer term. That said , I suppose if you can afford the cycle of replacement you just chuck  it in at the end of its' 3 year warranty and start again . Again, I thought the paint job and panels could be better finished on the Forst.
What make have you gone for this time?
