Another Which chipper tread....

[hiluxstihl]

First chipper getting closer by the day... but I dont know which to choose!

Timberwolf 150, 190 vermer bc1000 or what????

I do a lot of leylandi reductions and general stuff so I need a capable machine... with Brexit sterling is getting affordable and im busy enough to justify the purchase...

[njtimber]

Had a look at jensen ?

[dan494]

New or used? As the 150 and 190 have been replaced now

My 2p.

 

If you're doing lots of leylandii a tw190 will be a good tool. The 150 will do a good job but more snedding, so slower, more fatigue. The GM has an issue with leylandii in the summer IME, so avoid the disc blade system.

Can't comment on a Vermeer.

the 190 seems to fit the bill, ive used the 150 a lot, snedding and letting it clear itself is time consuming alright. never worked the 190 but used a vermeer a fair bit. its realistically too big for a lot of my work but ive found one at the right price...

Greenmech quadchip 160 cracking chipper I've always had TW and this is my first gm so I had my reservations at first. I think it's far superior to the TW 150 and not far off the TW 190. It loves conifer as well even the nasty dogleg bits I send very little now days. 👍🏻

There's not many about in that price range but my Jensen devours conifer, fills my transit in 20 minutes

I'm looking at the schliesing mx 200 on masons woodchippers site. it's not far off 1500hrs

what do we think? need a 6' soon tried a GM arb150 from o.plant and it was ok.

The schliesings only slightly cheaper than the ex hire GM. Opinions please as i'm making the decision this week....
