Timberwolf 230. Petrol or Diesel?

[jameshs22]

Looking at upgrading my chipper to the 230 but unsure which one to get. Is the diesel better than the petrol? Or both as good as each other?

Can I put a bet down it'll be diesel that wins this discussion?, especially with the EFI discussions.

100%. You'd need to be mad to touch anything with a Briggs 37hp EFI.

 

Get the diesel kubota and pay someone to open the injection pump up a bit. SOmeone was discussing this on Arbtalk FB last night and it's something I need to do one two machines also.

Get a good second hand 35hp diesel.

or a schliesing 235?

Diesel can be run on red diesel at £1 a litre. Saving soon adds up compared to petrol costs.

Try out the GreenMech EVO 165 Diesel, Weighing in just over a tonne it's built like a beast for a 6.5" chipper.

 

Get the TimberWolf and GreenMech dealer to bring them out on the same day or same time!

I thought petrol was only introduced by manufacturers to bring weight of machine down and lower emissions... if these aren't an issue  then diesel?

[Conor Wright]

I'd rather have genital warts than a briggs efi. 

Diesel or, even better a clean well maintained, older and more powerful machine without the stupid emmisons extras.

And then there’s Stuart living the dream with both.
