MTS TREES

Our Forst has 51 hours on the clock and all of a sudden has decided it doesint want to start anymore! Cranks over however won't kindle up. It will kindle up with jump pack leads tho. I have Been on the phone to Forst who have been brilliant to be fair! They have suggested we upgrade the battery to 100Ah which we will be doing tomorrow. Fingers crossed as it does not look good turning up at clients house and jumping the chipper! I'm interested to hear if anyone had this issue with the ST8 Cheers

Hi all, I recently bought a new Forst st8 and the insurance broker I use has came back with £600 for cover for it. Does this sound about right? Cheers

Paying £17950 + vat December 2015 model with 15 hours

Hello everyone, Just put a deposit down on a ex demo Forst ST8 with 15 hours. What's everyone's thought on these chippers? Wheres the best place to buy spare blades and for getting them sharpened? Cheers

I there, our client has asked us to summit an application into the local authority seeking permission to fell a 50 ft Monkey Puzzel tree. If the permission is granted would anyone be interested in buying the timber. The tree is in Fife, Scotland. Many thanks Chris

I've just bought a pre reg. it was reg July 14. It had 41 miles on the clock, without canopy £18995 + vat they gave £2500 trade in on my 2005 screwed & tattooed Isuzu Rodeo with 185 k on her Only had the Hilux 2 weeks, seems great so far. I did test drive the new Isuzu D max however thought the interior was really cheap looking. Cheers

Hello, looking to get a Husky 395 with 36inch bar. What's your thoughts on this saw running this bar Thanks

Hi there, I looking for a decent climber for an up coming job which will be starting in approx 3-4 weeks in Kirkcaldy,Fife. The spec is felling 3 large Beech trees & 1 x Medium Beech. You will need to be competent in rigging as these tree are overhanging a busy main road. Traffic management will be in place. Since this is a school route it may be we have to carry out works over a weekend. The other side of canopy is overhanging woodland so large sections can be removed without rigging. I would normally be doing the climbing, however due to an injury & advice from the docs I'm to avoid climbing for 6 months, so this could lead to potentially more work. We would would be doing all the ground work. I guarantee 4 days work & willing to pay good day rate for the right climber! So if this sound like it could be of interest to you please contact me Im going to try figure out how to put pics up over the next few days Thanks for taking the time to read this. Cheers Chris. 07894135712

My current set is Isuzu rodeo 3.0 & trailer - Ifor Williams 12 x 6.6 tipping trailer with sides. I'm thinking of replacing the Isuzu which has been a GREAT work horse, for a MWB transit 115 upwards. My main reason for this is tool space& days that we are doing small hedges I can leave trailer at home and bag the waste then chuck it in the van. I know my towing capacity will be lower than the Isuzu, however does anyone tow with a transit?? Some advise would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
