Outstanding woodchipper
I purchased a new Forst TP8 Woodchipper in November 2020 to replace my 18 year old Greenmech TMP 220.I expected the TP8 to be good.but it is absolutely outstanding.I have been very impressed by how good the feed rollers pull in branches.Some woodchippers struggle with Hawthorn trees and bushes but the TP8 pulls them in and they are gone.The build quality is superb.It is a bit heavy at 995kg compared to the TP200 700kg and Greenmech TMP 220 860kg.But the TP200 has thinner steel everywhere.and the Greenmech is now dated and of a similar price to the TP8.Having the grease nipples all located on the right side of the machine is a brilliant idea.The blades.Anvils.Hydraulic filter.Hydraulic oil filling point are easily accessible.The safety bar and emergency stop buttons on top are great.The chip quality is fantastic.A great looking machine too in Orange and black.I have it mounted on a Unimog U1000 and it's a great combination.Thank you Forst for selling me an outstanding machine for my day to day job as an arborists.
