Fantastic product and built well
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.

St6 exchanged for ST8
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

Great service from Forst
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
