Very pleased with the chippers we bought they were delayed due to problems which was a little frustrating. Also we didn't receive any spare blades for the machines which after spending as much as we had we thought that would be a given so as to not have too much down time when changing them over. Other than that very pleased with the service and productivity of the TR8.
Excellent woodchipper this is our third one and the ST8 is definitely a market leader at that size. Reliable Well designed Simple to maintain Powerful Easy to use
Fantastic product and built well. This is our second forst and we are impressed with its ease of use. The only criticism would be the paint quality and communication, when I have issues or when we are having a chipper delivered. I think it would be a great touch to have an email update on when the chipped going into production and to notify of delivered date and time. I will look forward to seeing more products from forst especially the stump grinder.

I have recently purchased a Forst ST6p and am so impressed at the performance of this machine. It is surprising that a petrol engine could deliver the power to chip the material that we place into the hopper. The ease of maintenance is fantastic The after sales service is second to none. I would most certainly purchase another Forst woodchipper in the future
I order a demo and had a look at st6 and it was brought out and the guy who brought it out was excellent. The machine was excellent and it was a no brainier over the Timberwolf.
Fantastic machine would highly recommend the Forst” ST8 for nominal performance fantastic towing capacity and so pleased with my custom paint job
I’ve just recently changed my ST6 for the ST8 which was an amazing piece of kit but the ST8 really gets the job done with no messing I’ve been going in business now for 40 years and I can say it’s one of the best machines I’ve used
We have several machines that are very reliable. If we require service or parts they get sorted quickly. Our staff find them easy to use & to get around sites. The people at Forst we deal with are friendly & know their machines.
Very good chipper . Very fast and tons of power . All the forst team are very helpful would highly recommend.
Our customers love the 8" tracked chippers, Kenny Brock in sales is extremely helpful
Fantastic machine Great people
Very good chippers. 1st class backup.
I have been dealing with Forst for a number years now and the quality of the service has been fantastic. The after sales service has been great whether it is advice over the phone or dealing with any issue, which has been shorted ASAP. They always give a 5* service
Great Chipper.
