The log splitter was easy to order
The log splitter was easy to order, complied with my spec, and arrived before I expected it. The van driver off loaded it in the required location, and the packaging was undamaged. As it is my birthday present, I will not be unwrapping it until tomorrow, which I am looking forward to. Altogether, excellent service,

Should have bought one years ago!
Only used it once so far but it does exactly what it's supposed to and seems to be very well built. It's heavy and you will need help to assemble, unless you have a hoist - which is how I did it. When you assemble the stand you may think a bolt is missing but it's on the small stand which is fitted to the splitter when it arrives. It would be nice to have the option of better wheels. The ones supplied are fine for most things but balloon tyres would be nice for those moving it across rough surfaces.
Excellent service
Excellent service, next day delivery. Excellent machine, would fully recommend. Easy to use, very quiet.
How you can make the FM6DD chipper more versatile
I bought the FM6DD chipper. Because it is Forest Master components sitting on an American engine, there are two instruction manuals, and not everything is covered, but Customer Services are brilliant. You get a real person responding quickly to any query. A hint on the FM6DD. There are two thin bolts going across the discharge chute. They are to stop a person with a very thin arm putting their hand up the chute. To get safety clearance, Forest Master had to fit them, but really anyone stupid enough to try to get their arm all the way up the discharge chute should not even be let out of the house. Unscrew the nuts and throw the bolts away and you will have a superb machine which is happy to take branches with leaves on. If you leave the bolts in place. you may get more blockages than you would like, as soft material can cling to them
The Compact Petrol 6HP Wood Chipper…great, the instructions could be a little better.
The Compact Petrol 6HP Wood Chipper arrived in two boxes well packaged. I opened them and following the instructions carefully, I laid out the components. I initially thought that a number of the fasteners (the M8 long bolts and the M6 bolts with associated washers etc.) were missing!! Just about to fire off a email, then discovered that the missing parts were assembled to the engine / shredder. After this it was trivially easy to assemble and after adding oil and fuel, the engine started first pull of the recoil starter. It copes very well with branches up to max size, less will with the leaves - not an issue. Starting from hot is a little less easy, but this may be that I have not got used to the engine idiosyncrasies. The best chipper I have had - don't be put off by it's compact size. Last point - in the parts a single mystery M10 x 150 bolt with no apparent home.....
Great and efficient service
Great and efficient service, Petrol chipper for gardenworks well
Top quality in all respects
The 6hp petrol chipper/shredder is an excellent piece of equipment and I am very pleased with my purchase. I was also very impressed with the customer service from Forest Master. At least partly because of my own stupidity, I had problems starting the machine, but the chap at the other end of the phone was helpful, patient and knowledgeable and I soon had the machine working. Top marks. I will try to find time to do a more detailed review of the machine for the Forest Master website
