Greenmech cs100 vs timberwolf 80/100

[Jase hutch]

The CS100 will lock onto its trailer, only a padlock is required..

You can still hitch lock and wheel clamp the CS trailer... Plus you can lock it to the trailer. Throw on the CS with its drum speed is damn good and no problem firing into the back of your chosen chip wagon.

New Greenmech cs100 is £4700 Timberwolf 18/100 is 8600. You will need a trailer for the greenmech not sure how much the greenmech trailer is. 

 

I had the greenmech and used a ifor 6x4 trailer but found it difficult to secure in the trailer so it didnt move about in transit. Ive now got the timberwolf 18/100. Chipping speed is similar but the greenmech is a tad faster. The blades need to be kept very sharp on the gravity machines. You will be able to find alot more second hand timberwolfs about as made since late 90s as entec. Probably get a reasonable one for for 2k. If your spending 8700 buying a new timberwolf 18/100 you'd be better off getting a decent second hand timberwolf 125 roller fed.

From what i have seen the CS100 can tip back if you put long and end heavy timber in it were as the 80/100 will just sit there.

If it’s not on a trailer you can get it to tip with large material, but just peg it down if in a back garden. RRP is 4.6k.  Trailer from memory just over 1k. 

If you put it in the back of an ifor williams or Transit make a locating bracket to hold the chipper in place by the front stand / draw bar. 

 

If if you are going to spend over 8.5k on a gravity road tow buy an ex demo / lightly used hydraulic petrol machine like an Arborist 130 and have a 6x9 inch with all the bells and whistles!

Good morning all

 

For clarification, the TW 18/100 lists at £7,585 plus Vat.

Talk to your local friendly Timberwolf dealer, I`m sure you`ll get a great deal. 

 

If you are chipping the right material the 18/100 will work very effectively.
