Timberwolf wood chipper 150 or 230

Hopefully later this year my tree surgery business will be busy enough for the purchase of a Timberwolf Wood chipper and no doubt it will be a second wood chipper. The price of the Timberwolf 150 is a few thousand cheaper than the 230 model. I would like for some feedback from anyone that has used both machines and has a consideration to one or the other.

 

I will be buying the towable model. 
 

thank...Paul Tomo

I just had to make this decision for myself. Buy a new or nearly new 230 or a 150 in the best condition possible. 
Ended up buying a very low hours 150. Means I saved around £10k in the cost difference, my mechanic/fitter use to mend 150’s so knows them inside out and tree work isn’t my main source of income so I don’t need the most modern up to date machine. Just needed something that will work when I need it.

Have you ever used a 230?

Its night an day in chipping performance between the 150 and 230, I'd definitely be going for a 230. They can deal with limbs with forks and multiple branches much better and with way less snedding involved.

The answer to that is the open every thing go's though. 

Had a 150 may years now and for what it is it a good chipper easy maintenance and parts cheap.

I’ll live with my decision. I don’t do a huge amount of tree work, probably 50-60 hours of chipping a year so the additional cost wasn’t warranted to me. With things the way they are at the moment I didn’t want to load myself up with finance when everything is so up in the air at the moment.
