Which Forst Chipper

[Leicester Tree Care]

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for which Forst chipper to buy new? I think I fancy the ST6D??  Does this model have any negative comments? And what price should I be paying?

Cheers Simon

If you’re buying new I would have thought the price would be fixed or all but.

 

If you use the search facility you’ll find loads and loads on the various Forsts.

Both good and bad (same as almost every chipper in fairness)

I’ve got the st6p and think it’s a brilliant machine, not too bad on fuel either.

ST6 is a great little machine...but if you can afford or have the work to warrant a bigger machine then the TR8 is very capable.

Anyone know how much a tr8 is?

Hi @jmac a TR8 is £27,950+VAT brand new. 

TR6D is £23,500+VAT and is also an extremely capable chipper. 

 

I can put you in touch with the dealer who handles all the Scottish Forst sales and I'm sure they could arrange a demo for you of whichever you are interested in. Let me know if you want to do that and I will make arrangements. 

 

@Leicester Tree Care being in Leicester (presumably) Forst demo and sell direct, but again I can put you in touch with the relevant people to sort that out if you want.

Have the price's for diesel chipper's now taken a big price jump due to the additional cost of having a stage V engine.

Thanks for replies, think I am going to go with ST6D.. Does anyone know what the price is? I can't find any published price lists. I have their demo unit here and I think it is great. The st6d has the Kubota engine. What is a stage V engine please?
