Timberwolf or Greenmech

[bythamboy]

Need a new chipper and its a two horse race ( local dealers )  Greenmech  or Timberwolf  ?  Recent machine was a TW   230 DHB  with older engine  ( 35hp ) but I understand there has been an engine change ( EU emissions  ! ) , don't know much about these new  eco - friendly things , are they up to it  ?  Want  6"  / 150 mm machine with diesel engine , thoughts / experiences please  .

Greenmech evo165. Slightly over 6 inch chipping in reality. Very good machine I prefer it over the 230 but the 230 is a solid chipper. Nice aggressive feed, big hopper big opening.

The arborist 150 is also a good chipper. Not as good as the Evo. I quite like them especially the vertical rollers. The downside is only one roller moves so feeding on the static side is a pain.  I think I'd have the 230 over the green mech arborist 150. But the evo165 over the 230. 

 

Get a demo on the 165 you won't be disappointed.

You will find all slower chipping than your 35hp Timberwolf as all have smaller engines. 

As said just demo and test what's faster.

The engine detune is a generational change forced on us all for the environment, we all have accept what is a available. Our 25hp 150 has been a top seller in Europe for a long time! The 165 was developed knowing we had the new infeed rules, the relaxation of the sub 750 rules and the engine changes. The 165 has a heavy rotor and correct gearing to chip well!

EVO 165D has 250kg more metal in it than the TW230. Heavier duty chassis, heavy gauge and wide infeed hopper plus a larger, heavier flywheel. Hydraulic flow valve for the rollers as standard, override of the stop bar, plus electric throttle control.

The Timberwolf chips faster than the Greenmech. But the extra metal in the Greenmech should mean that it lasts longer.

However neither is as good as the TP chipper .
