So folks, many have said the forst wins in so many ways, but no one has said in what ways - anyone care to share?

Weight isn't an issue for us for towing as have my trailer licence, it does however come into it for easier maneuverability when driveways etc aren't easy to get into. Managed to get done a bit earlier today so have had some time out, and managed to have some lengthy conversations with a certain rep or two - all have been incredibly helpful and for once not smarmy sales man! Looking forward to trying them both next week, especially now I am armed with my lists of pro's and con's. Keep your opinions/views coming - its good to read them.

Guessing by that post are you in a similar situation - have you done any research etc/had any experience with either? So far the service from both parties has been top notch which isn't helping the situation lol, just hope its top chip as well!

Mrs C here with a damn headache - why does buying a new bit of machinery require so much thinking about lol. Bit of progress this morning, the finance package from Forst wasn't as bad as first thought at all, bit of a small misunderstanding that was all. Spoken to both reps, got our lists in black and white, and v's with pros and cons for both, now it will just be a case of using them both on demo next week and going from there. Hmmmm. Going to be a long few days. Or maybe not.

In what ways? Is it too many to list and is it in enough ways to warrant the extra cost?

Yes Hunt's are now our local dealer, a lot to be said for calling into see them rather than dealing over the fone. We have been dealing with Jim over here, he has been nothing but helpful. The demo unit should of landed this side of the water today i believe I think the arb 150 is going to be for us over the quad chip after a head scratching session so the tow bar isnt going to be problem to us

Have you had any issues with the forst?

On the Isle of Wight so couldn't be further away from anywhere We have got them both on demo next week. So will be able to play but just interested in hearing what you folk have to say beforehand so know the things to look out for. We originally looked at the Green Mech Quad Chip 160 but didn't fancy the 6 week lead time, unless we had to and not sure if the turntable is worth the extra, and have also heard the tow bars aren't very good - is that still an issue with them? To be fair haven't actually heard a bad thing about the forst yet, the only trouble is their finance package seems a bit extreme compared to Green Mech - we will be calling them tomorrow to query this. And the service from Matt @ Redwood has been faultless as always. Tough Competition

Hi Guys n Gals First post I am afraid, although I have been a lurker a long time Thought it was about time I registered proper. Looking at buying at a chipper, read lots of posts on here which makes it very difficult to know which way to go, but have got it down to two: The Green Mech Arb 150 or the Forst ST6. Can anyone help, what are you peoples experiences of them both? Running costs, blade sharpening etc. Its easy for the salesman to give you their spill but we want to hear it from the people that use them direct and first hand. Will one or other still be going strong when the other won't? Thanks in advance.
