mx 220vs tw 150

[josharb87]

as peter says, timberwolf support is good round this area. 30 hours? go for it, the one i use was brought new a year or so ago, now 350 hours, only one small eletrical problem

[Peter]

We used to run T/W150's and got that sick of them breaking down we swapped to Jensen and schiesling's, and never had a fraction of the problems. Does ratner ring a bell?

 

I presume you are referring to Gerald Ratner's infamous remark about selling crap? By extension therefore you are saying that Timberwolf chippers are crap. Of course, you're a Greenmech dealer.

 

BTW, you still havent explained this comment

I never mentioned gerald, My experience of T/W was prior to being a dealer and its off comments from a dealer of T/W, did I mention greenmech?

I have used schiessling, fantastic chippers, well made robust and pretty much idiot proof but that machine you described is pretty old even with a refurb and especially if it's had a hard life, yeah I know, what chipper hasn't? The TW sounds like a good deal, yes they have their faults but they are pretty good. Sigh, if I had the money I would go for a Jenson though, even the six inch machine can crush pretty big forks with it's rollers.

i do like that word !!JENSEN !! tracked of course

Last week i got to use a 6 inch jensen,nice looking chipper but thats where it stops,it was crapp the anti stress came in when you chipped anything bigger than a twig,and the chip just about made it to the front of the chip box all in all very dissapointing,not as good as a 150 in my opinion,and this chipper was less than a year old.

Just needed the auto stress adjusting. takes a couple minutes. The rollers on the T/W are still square though, so that would always put us off. Certain chipper models/makes do prefer different produce, some throw brash further, some timber.

who did you hire it from

Which ratner did you mean then?

 

What do you mean by "its off comments from a dealer of t/w"? That statement makes no sense.

 

You still havent explained your comments in the treemotion v sequoia thread either, or are you just ignoring that and hoping it will go away?

[Mr Ed]

Matty, I would go for the Timberwolf for reasons of newness and good dealer backup. If you can, get a 190, it addressed all the problems the 150 had.

The schliesing is not a bad chipper per se, but the TW will serve you better.
