Had a demo on it...we have a forst 6" wheeled. The 8" was just as impressive...but I've never used a jenson, so can't compare...but built to last!

Just spent a week working with one. Good solid machine. Was told it was a Jenson but bought by forst and modified. Just needs a wider opening feeding wide stuff like hawthorn can be a pain.

No its built by forst in this country, forst is owned by redwoods and yes a very good machine.

 

Had no issues with the narrow hopper (I did has resavations) but the infeed is so good it just drags it in, also I like the cut out at the top as it let's you get curved awkward shaped bits in. Will happily by another.

Built or assembled?

 

Assembled means relying on out sourcing parts and components and not having control. It's the downfall to all manufactures. In my previous job our largest franchise, the warranty and failures on machines were always the bought in products. Suppliers changing specs without manufacture knowing.

Just repeating what I was told buy the guy I hire it from who was told by the firm he bought it from. But still a good machine

Indeed, not saying it's not. Some good feedback across the country on it.

Forst: 3 years parts And labour warranty...that why we went for it....plus it's a brute of a machine!!!!
