Forst 8" Chipper

[Essex arborist]

Spoke to Matt at Redwood Global today and understand the long awaited 8" Forst is being launched at the APF.

 

Anybody tried one out yet?

 

It's going to be a Forst to be reckoned with! 😉

Turntable though?

I reckon it will be the replacement for my A540di that Matt sold me.

I would be very interested in demoing it. I head the smaller chippers are on par with Jensen!

They are on a par with Jenson because that's what they're based upon but with all the design improvements that an experienced operator would make.

Although, if the indeed aperture isn't at least 14" wide it won't compete against the other brands on performance.

The 6" Forst is better than the jenson in my opionon:thumbup1:

 

Mainly on the infeed, but the whole machine is just a bit better thought out

Very true Johny;)

same machine

 

Having worked both they is quite a clear difference on the infeed. the flywheel etc may well be very simular but i will stand up a say the forst is a far nicer machine to use:thumbup: Thats why i brought one:biggrin:

 

It will take something fantastic to get me away from owning a forst chipper at the mo.
