Foxwood c120pro narrow access chipper relieve

[jimupson]

Hi Dan 

hope you’re well? 

yes you would have met us at the 2016 APF, 

glad to hear you got sorted ok 

yes the chippers were yellow and branded Haecksler then, we were the UK distributor at that time 

up to 2015/2016 all of Haecksler’s chippers (H3 model) were manufactured and supplied by the same company who still make our Foxwood chippers now.. 

around 2016/2017 Haecksler got another chipper (H4) produced by a different company (don’t know where or what country) but we were not happy with the quality on the H4 so decided to drop the brand, especially when they told us they weren’t able to supply the H3 model anymore, which we knew were bulletproof… 

shortly after we were contacted by the original manufacturer of the H3 who had seen our haecksler adverts online - I flew to Slovakia, had a nice long weekend taking in the sights of Bratislava… went to see the team at the manufacturing plant and the rest is history, things are really going well with Foxwood we have several new models in development right now including a tracked model and a Stumpgrinder, and we’re getting a decent following from some proper people. 

we will be at the APF later this year - we are also Ventrac dealers so we’ve gone for a 40 metre stand which we’ll share with Ventrac UK, there’s going to be live demonstrations of Foxwood and Ventrac products with plenty of attachment’s on show  

maybe I’ll see you there? 

regards

Jim

Thanks for that honest and straightforward explanation, does make sense.

 

Maybe I will come to the APF this year, not been for a while. The tracked one sounds interesting, I wouldn't want to give up self drive but the M500 is pricey to replace if/when the time comes.

If you do make it to the APF come and see us for a catch up - be nice to see you 

I’ll get the kettle on!

Jim is a genuine bloke and great company, not tried the chippers they look pretty solid and well built though, and definitely not Chinese.

Jim you may remember I was on your stand last year giving my Dad a hand, hope you're well?
