Are Jensen a cheaper make than Timberwolf?

[Hodge]

wolf for mee to. I have owned 2 of them and they are better and more reliable than the jensons i have used. IMO.

ok then!!! I will say it again i would rather own a tw any day of the week over a jenson....for me i think they out chip have better dealer support and are a better thought out machine its far from perfect but i cant afford a schiesling yet!!

 

how many times have you had to change bearings on feed rollers or that stupid switch unit for rollers.......

give me a good old fashioned bar any day

errrm never i have never seen them fail, are the roller bearing a common failure???? are they easy to fix?....although mine get noisy if i dont grease them weekly with 160 hours on the clock what you said worries me slightly... although my dad has had his for 8 years from new and had no problems apart from the ally finns!

The lads at a local firm have both but they prefer the tw 150,theyve all said though that given the choice they would buy Premiers every time.

i have hired in loads of different machines but my tw190 beats them all, im well happy with it, could do with a removable tracked chassis to make it perfect..

I think for daily use, spares availability, multiple hirers throughout UK, dealer network and support, the Wolf wins hands down. My Jensen earns its keep, and spares seem available through many agri dealers (belts, hydraulic parts etc) but like any machine it has its little faults, and I've always preferred the Jensen to same sized Wolfs.

mate you got a 190 turbo? what are they like i am thinking of buying one, are they that good? do you find the weight an issue as in clutch on your van? and do you think they are worth the extra pennies?

Ha ha forgot i started this thread. We now have a second hand TW150. It was bought in hand and is a cracking machine.

I was gonna say mate, this thread is 4 years old. Glad you like your chipper, I have a TW150 VTR and love it.
