[shillo]

The tracked one must be electric - it has got a power lead!

 

They look good - are there any stats available yet?

But why??? Why have redwoods gone down this route? Is it a Jensen modded or a whole now non-jensen machine??? Can't see it fills a niche Jensen didn't cover...

Ive seen it on a demo, I think it comes down to price with this one, they're a bit cheaper than a Jensen, Looks a good solid machine from what I could see.

Your right it is cost, when I had demo told due to exchange rate of importing Jensen and something to do with cost of kubota engines in Germany

Good point, where does this leave Jensen in this market place, can the 2 products run out of the same stable:confused1:

Hi Ed,

 

You raise a good point. I was also wondering if Jensen (manufacturer) know that their potential customers are being 'shunted' onto the Forst as a cheaper alternative. It's like booking a test drive of a VW Golf and been down down sold to a SEAT Leon (because its the same but cheaper?!?)

 

Has the Jensen brand not always been about quality German engineering at whatever the cost. It surely will make the Jensen owners feel a bit bewildered as to what they bought into in the first place!

Is there any info available about these machines anywhere? Where are they made, what powers them, what do they weigh, what do they cost, what do they chip etc etc?
