Kellfri, anyone?

Does anyone have experience of Kellfri machinery? Seems to be lower-priced than the competition, so I'm suspicious that there may be a price to pay in reliability/longevity.  It's a Swedish company, but from their claim of 'Scandinavian design and development', I think 'Chinese manufacture'.  I'm just going to ask them about that, but any personal experience would be good to know. Thanks.  

PS:  looking at their chippers.

Yes, made in China.  My mate bought an ATV trailer a few months back; had to do some minor engineering to get it together and said just from looking at it that he was prepared for repairs and reinforcement.

Basically no matter how well something is made - i have worked with a bloke who will fvvk it up-   It will depend on how well maintained you are and how hard it has to work.  Price is a factor as to quality of parts n spares etc. K

I allways think if its cheap, simply dont bother as you will be forever repairing it, i was looking at there timber grabs after some one i know bought one and the first thing he did was take it apart and weld some gusset plates in it as he said from his expieriance it would not last long with out the plates added, another guy who buys a bit of timber of us has a firewood proccessor that he swears by but he wont be in a rush to get his wood done but he only does about 3-4 tonne a year for his own use, as the saying goes buy cheap buy twice i have been there and my look on this now is save/borrow the money to buy the best machine/item to do the job, it will pay in the long run believe me,
