Forst build quality

I am only add that Redwood have also been blinding to us, unlike others.

Redwood/Forst are definitely a force to be reckoned with but little credit is given to the service dealer network which provides that after sales service!!

Redwood maybe the key stone in a special combined team but with out the other stones you have no arch which reaches across the gap where other manufacturers fail.

At the end of the day it's the service dealer standing there with the spanner in his hand keen to get you on your way!

Hows the opinions on the forsts a bit further on? Everone still happy? Anyone flogging once out of warrenty? Or you plan to keep machine 5-10yrs? I know a lot of folk like to change their chippers every few years

Happy with mine Swinny, prefer it over out tracked jenden if I'm honest. Going for another forst in the new year but planning on keeping them till there goosed.

Side anvil sheared off, with the mounting plate behind it. Had to take the flywheel off for access, then found one of the bearings had a crack. Probably would have changed them anyway as the machines at 1000 hrs.

 

There's some wear on the shaft where the bearing had been rotating so we'll swop that at the weekend too.

Exactly the same here, just rewelded and refitted the replacement.

To be fair the repairs to Forst chippers has got less as time goes by
As lessons have been learnt, prevention has been put in place in most cases..
