Advice Please - Timberwolf or Green Mech

[swinny]

On my second QC now and I have to say that I think it's one of the best design 6inch chipper on the market.

 

The turntable is brilliant, easy to maintain, and the only thing that went wrong with my old one was bearings at 750 hours.

I was in a gm dealer recently and they had a quad chip on display, asked for a price he told me 24k!!! Obviously you'd get one for less but why start so high

Seems forest and Arb have a 230 for £18k

 

Trying to find a price for an arborist 130

I've had q.chip, now got a tw230, which outperforms and is easier to maintain than qc or forst.

Had the quad chip coming up 4 years now. Turn table is a thing of beauty for our work witch is pretty much all domestic lots of awkward driveways. Very pleased with it.

Do the green mech suffer from cracking like the tw?

 

What about a forst?

All 750k machines suffer from cracking, quad chips and the new tw 230 have had there fair share, the Forst isn't a 750k machine but neither of mine has show cracking or broken welds etc.

 

The new forst 6" petrol might change things though, as I'm told it's basically an st6 with a shortened chassis and the heavy diesel swapped for a 38hp petrol! Proper 6" machine with decent power but under 750k genius really, keep good size metal where it matters and loose the one major heavy bit!
