Got ours up for sale atm. Had it for 5 years. It's great if you keep the flails sharp. It's a shredder though, good for anything up to 3" but very slow for anything bigger. Timberwolf have stopped manufacturing it but have been told parts will still be available.

How do you find it for general scrub clearances and hedge reductions.

[Dawsons Groundcare]

Depends how often you'll be doing that sort of work really. It will cope with that sort of stuff no problem but better to feed it in a little bit at a time. If your used to a chipper then you'll probably hate it but if it's only going out for the odd hedge reduction then you'll be ok.
It's worked well for us because we have a pto chipper that we'll use for bigger jobs.

What let's the Timberwolf down is the infeed is too small. Look at any other shredder and it's twice the size.
We're getting the ts shredder which we've had on demo and struggled to keep up with it. Just eats whatever you put in it.

Thanks,will probably need to find an arb show and get demo.i run a small cs100 4 inch chipper,but worry about blades when doing some jobs.

How much was yours up for sale for ?

[Dawsons Groundcare]

4k plus vat. If it's not sold by the weekend then we'll just part ex it in for the ts.

It's amazing what a standard 16" motor mower will pick up and condense

I haven't got a week to do 1 job, some of the hedge cutting i do fill a 4 cubic metre truck. But on small hedges it would work.
