Anyone got a TP175??

[Scott Farmborough]

Just looking at this machine, price seems reasonable.

I'm currently running a Jensen 530 & wondered how it would compare?

Any reviews would be welcomed.

Hello,

I saw these at the Arb show recently.

Any feedback from users on any of the roadtow models?

They seem well built but reviews are thin on the ground.

It's the folding chute option which is an added bonus for stowing in the garage at home or in a container at my future yard.

Thought you had a fancy unit and yard?

Time to move on.

I'll tell you all about it once it's over.

Meanwhile, what about TP chippers?

I'll broaden the remit here to any TP or FSI branded road tow.

Tp's are good solid chippers, I like them. But pound for pound they aren't as good at chipping as a Forst. That said they are good. All the ones I have had / got are pto machines so I can't comment on the road tow one.

The firm, I worked for changed to Tp 175's just before I left, seemed good choppers, just little niggles, the toothed top roller means it won't always pull in the last twiggy bits on a branch, the lads used to not let it run down long enough for the roller to disengage so it then wouldn't start again without pressing the switch to disengage first and the bumpers are made of tin foil if using on site work.

 

Produce smaller chip than the Jensen a we had before and with the exhaust being routed through the chipper chute it will pack it in the van, so you have to watch your load.

They do make excellent quality chip, the best of any disc chipper I have used.
