No but like you just want,d to know and get info on them. They are getting a good name though and I even like the colour. May be when I change I might think about it if for no or their reason there people were very nice and really helpful without being pushy.

Hi were abouts are you Stuart Taylor will do you a demo if your Lancashire way 07762 782068

generally good chippers, only niggle iv found is the bolt on the throttle handle shakes lose and causes the handle in turn to shake upwards and the revs to drop stopping the rollers. Just needs tightened up but then the throttle is excessively stiff to move. I have also heard of a roller drive shearing after 100 hours

I demoed one when it first came out and thought it was excellent. Apparently they've even made improvements since then.

Also, Redwood's back up is extremely good.

I've had one for a while now 185hrs

A few problems:

Drive link for the top roller snapped within 20hrs- redwood came next day & fixed it.

Fuses kept blowing redwood came out & fixed it after a few calls.

A problem with the lights now fixed.

As said before throttle leaver moves & drops revs but after talking to redwood I stuck another 13mm bolt on it and has now solved the problem.

But the biggest problem is the feed rollers jam up with crap really quickly & I have to clean it out twice a day some times.

Redwood say they have a fix for

This but they have not been out to sort it yet. (4 months now)

Apart from the very small problems it's is one of the best 6inch chippers I have ever used & I would say I have owned or used all of them. If I needed to buy another chipper it would be a forst st6!!!
