Always a pleasure dealing with Forst…

Always a pleasure dealing with Forst and Matthew. Another machine successfully delivered and the team is very impressed with the trailed ST6D vs our traded in ST6P!

Buying experience was great

Buying experience was great, extremely quick with responses and very knowledgeable about the machines (didn’t feel like he was reading the fact sheet as many do). Chipper was here amazingly quick and straight out to work and is wicked, complete game changer. Cheers Matt Smith

We have worked with Matthew at Redwood…

We have worked with Matthew at Redwood for the last 15 years. Over that time we have had a number of wheeled and tracked machines. All have been good and re sale value is second to none. The team at Forst assist are on the end of the phone should we have a question or problem. We like that you can deal direct with the people that make them machines, and nothing is a problem.

The whole experience was great!

The whole experience was great, easy and stress free with Forst! Matthew sorted everything from getting us in showing us around the great set up at the factory and getting the chipper delivered fast for the job we needed it for on time with great communication! Thankyou Forst and Matthew especially! -Hewitt Tree Surgery.

Forst for life

We have been using Forst chippers for a number of years now and have always been impressed with the service they offer. The machines themselves are very solid and any problems tend to be electrical, as opposed to mechanical. In my experience these are very often easily resolved, especially through the troubleshooting aid that is available when you call them. On a personal level Forst really showed their colours following a series of series thefts that we experienced a few years ago. We had 6 chippers stolen over a period of a few months and Forst were absolutely amazing. They provided us with a brand new machine immediately along with a hire machine (collected on the day) and could not of been more helpful. It was following on from the Covid pandemic and there was a worldwide shortage of machine parts resulting in long waits for everything - we all remember those dark days! But they really pushed the boat out and did so much to help during this period and were a big part in enabling us to continue trading and rebuild. Because of this they have earned a customer for life in our company. We run ST6s and TR8s all deisels but have used the petrol TR6 and have been impressed with all of them. The TR8 is the pick of the bunch and we'll worth the price tag. Its a beast.

On our 3rd chipper from Först

On our 3rd chipper from Först. They’ve never let us down! The customer service has always been spot on. I would recommend anyone starting out to go with a Först chipper. We have no regrets and will definitely get another when the time comes. Jude @ Greenscapes Tree Care

Matt and Team at Forst

We first met Matthew Smith 10 plus years ago when with his help we decided to try out Forst after having a lot of issues with other machine providers. We now run approx 12 Forst Chippers and won’t look back. Matt and the Forst team have always gone out of their way to provide the best service with great machines and back up. Our longstanding working relationship will most definitely continue into the future. Great machines Great Service! Thanks Matt

My name is Bobby axe

My name is Bobby axe. I bought a tired timberwolf 150dhb during lockdown had nothing but problems. It kept going for years but finally i built up the currage to buy something else. This left me no choice to get a new chipper. I heard lots about forst and had a go on a friend's. That was it forst it was and I would never look back. The whole experience with the Customer services are amazing and a big shout out to mathew smith and all the team in the office that helped guide me on my way.
