Anyone used the new timberwolf 160?

[dan494]

I've a 2001 model, exactly the same as that. One of the last entecs. Mines also still in daily use, and going to get a paint job over Xmas. Original yellow, not timberwolf orange, as you sometimes see them with.

That's good. I don't like seeing them painted orange with with timberwolf stickers on them. Much better original! I like seeing the diesel ones with the red chippit decals and wood pecker but few and far between that haven't been 'updated'

I did stick the wood pecker on a window hoping to get another one made up but didnt get that far.

Very smart. I'll try and get some of mine after Xmas. Hope it looks as good as that.

did replace the hoses as well latterly.

 

Did have quite a few people thinking it was a new machine (joe public mind)

In an image conscious world that's not a bad thing! Are you gonna paint the control bar red? Looks brill

Another quick observation about that paint job is that the fact the bolts aren't all just sprayed with the rest of it and have been replaced it a nice touch. You see refurbs for sale where they've not bothered and makes you think where else did they cut corners

I had a greenmech arb 130 on demo and thought it was good, though ended up getting a schliesing mx200 from masons.

I sold it when the bearings went and bought a jensen 528 which i have partly overhauled. Awaiting a respray, my compressor died probably over a year ago so haven't got round to sorting the paint job

Was it reasonable dollar? masons chippers seem to be quite pricey now

[Dillinger86]

Erm yeah so far so good so if it carrys like it has then yeah it's reasonable. It's a heavy machine that's seen a lot if work but it was delivered immaculate! Bearings,pipes and filters all new and paintwork..

I would advise anyone to just go for an old 6" machine over a new 5" 25hp chipper
