Petrol 230 Timberwolf.

[Mick Dempsey]

This was my first 6” TW, bought in 2004 a little while before moving out here.

 

Sold it before getting the Forst ST8 which nearly put me in an asylum.

 

I’m hoping this one proves as good a money maker.

 

Today was “first day with the new chipper day” A very important day that should be filled with joy and astonishment at what it’ll do, today was just that.

 

I feel like I’ve got back with an old girlfriend and you think to yourself “why did we ever split up?”

Wife displeased with the last paragraph btw.

Glad this worked out , and thanks for the update. So many times we never hear the outcome on these threads!

Nice one Mick.

Is it the full fat 37hp version?

It’s the diesel 35hp with the Kubota v1505 motor.

Cracking Chipper.

 

I haven’t used the petrol version but used plenty of the TW 230’s.

 

Did you get the throttle bungee thrown in for free?  😁

[Mick Dempsey]

Nearly every chipper I’ve owned needs one of those!

 

As it goes this throttle cable system is the same as the GM.

Simply tightening up the 8mm bolt will usually do the job.

My mistake.  I was on the phone before.  Now I see it is the TW150 not the 230.

 

Still a good chipper.  Is it meant to be a direct competition of the GM150?

 

I dont know much about the GM range, even though I have used quite a few. 

 

Edit:  FFS I need to learn to read as well.  I see now you have bought a 230 and the above picture was your first 150 which you were reminiscing about.

 

Ill get my coat now, LOL

That’s the kiddy I meant.

My mate Von who I am in a loose partnership has one, and it’s a beast of a machine.

Worlds apart from a 150.

 

Don’t know how the new smaller engined version compares, but that Kubota will probably still be chucking out the horses when most of us are dribbling cocoa in a care home.

@Joe Newton f**k off before you start.

It'll only have to be reliable for the warranty period, then.
