Forest Master Chipper Issues…

The problem with the Forest Master chippers is that they can only cope with 'green' wood, ie that has been cut within the last few days. After that the chipper tries to chip the wood into dust and blocks up in no time flat. Fastenings are not a single component but washer, split washer and nut - not ideal when you are out in the field - take a sheet to put it on so you don't loose anything. Some other chippers of similar power don't have this issue suggesting a design issue with the Forest Master chipper - so preferably look elsewhere if the wood to chip is more than a few days old!!.

Recieved my 8 ton log splitter this…

Recieved my 8 ton log splitter this morning and I am amazed how powerful this beast is; it split a pallet load of hardwood logs within a couple of hours, some of which very knotty. Build quality appears very robust and well thought out, I am sure it will serve me well for many years. I had a small issue whereby courier only delivered 1 of 2 boxes, I recieved the gaurd but no log splitter; a quick call to Forrest Master and Donna was straight onto courier, she kept me upto date throughout and I recieved it first thing this morning. I am very please with my purchase, even better knowing I supported a British company. Chris from Bebington..

Who at Forest Master thinks it is OK to freeze mony in my account repeatedly for a failed order.

Who at Forest Master thinks it is OK to reserve a payment for a failed transaction (they rejected an invalid postcode) and when the transaction is repeated do the same again four times, the last being successful). I couldn't access nearly £1000 and had failed standing orders because of this. When I called I was blamed because I put the wrong postcode and that I would have to wait till it filtered trough the system. Having had a reply they continue to blame me for inadequacies in their system i.e. they lock the money before checking the details and that they lock the mony several times in one order. As a retired systems professional I find the extremely poor design shocking.

This is good equipment, but!

This is good equipment, there is a drawback, they say it takes up to 3” (60mm approx) logs, however, they give you a plate to mount in the feed funnel which means you can only put the same size branches through that a normal little garden shredder will take. This was no good to me, I needed this machine to work to almost max’ capacity. So, against what the company supplies, I left this plate out, made some modifications and the machine works relatively well. I would say a maximum of 50mm branches is more realist, avoiding the leaves on the branches as much as possible, these things block regularly if you put too much green through them. So much so that I have made even more modifications. So no.1: first thing is make your own ‘branch feeder’ Like I did, with a large piece of timber the right length to push on, but won’t touch the blades at the bottom. To this I screwed a handle on the top to assist with ease of use. 2: weld washers onto the top of the bolts (in wing it form) to make the feed funnel and exit tube easy to access for blockages. ( you’ll see what I mean after clearing blockages for the 10th time! 3: avoid greenery going through. 4: when blades are not working well, unbolt them and turn them around to use other side. 5: keep it clean and clear and it’ll serve you well.

Good customer service

I have a small electric wood chipper. I have had a number of problems with it including a sheared bolt on the blades on the rotating drum. The support I have received from the customer facing team was excellent. They have always responded promptly to enquiries and requests for help and they have even repaired the sheared bolt at no charge even though it was just out of warranty.

Not Happy

After payment and promptly receiving the item the next day ( very impressed) things have somewhat gone downhill. I ordered the FM10TW-7-TC log splitter only to find that 2 Allen Head bolts & 2 split pins needed for assembly were missing but it doesn't stop there as I was also supplied with the incorrect stand having ordered the trolley stand with front wheels I received instead the stand with the front base plate that has no front wheels. Called Forest Master (technical department) to inform them of these errors at 11.55am on the 19/05/22 giving them plenty of time to get the parts out and was assured the parts needed along with the stand wheels would be sent out that very same day and I would receive them the next day. It is now the 21st two days latter and no parts. Also some of the welds to the stand are abysmal porosity,untidy beads,spatter and stray arc marks (photographs can be supplied) ,do you not have a QA department. That being said I cannot comment on the actual machine in operation due to the said missing items.

Great log splitter but the optional…

Great log splitter but the optional table / guard I received had clearly been a customer return. The table was damaged and had to be repaired before it would fit, the bag of screws had already been opened and screws were loose in the box spilling onto the garden. When you pay for a new product new is what you expect.

If only all businesses were like this!

This business is the epitome of how all businesses should be. Excellent products, great response and service, quick delivery and fair prices. I purchased the "Mitre Saw Stand Workbench with Roller Supports" and I am swept away by the robust quality and the swift delivery I received. I had one question which was answered promptly and I am very pleased that I made the right choice. Compared with other similar products this stand is head and shoulders above anything else in the price bracket. I fully intend to Purchase 2 additional mitre saw clamps for mounting other tools and I shall look at their range of wood chippers when I am looking to replace my aging machine (very soon). I am very pleased to be able to recommend this business and it's services and products and I look forward to dealing with them in the coming years.
