What Chipper?

[~Jon.]

I am looking at getting a lowish hour second hand chipper and I have been looking at a Timberwolf TW190DH or Jensen A540. To confuse things a bit I have had half an eye on a Jensen A430DI at a good price as well.

 

Could anyone help me out with pros/cons differences etc.

 

Cheers.

If you want a real big one after seeing one in action today a Jenz Hem 700 is the dogs danglies.

 

Mind you they are not cheap.

 

Here is a LINK to some pics I took of it in action. It filled an 18.5m3 trailer in less than 6 mins. It used to take 2 of us all day to do the same with a PTO chipper.

Jenz - good tool but a tad over the top for a bit of conny topping don't you think.

 

I'd go for a GreenMech.

Jensen for me any day of the week over those TW's. Never liked them, yet to find one that makes me think it will last. If you arent going to keep it for long and want a cheap chipper get a TW. If you want a decent really well engineered machine out of the two you mention get a Jensen.

I would reccomend a Jensen.I have two of them,they are well Engineered and well thought out.They seem to have the fastest stress control I have seen.Very reliable with great parts support if your need them.

 

Search in here for people asking for help fixing their Jensen,you won't get many hits.

I would argue that TW's have faster stress control.

I counter your Argument by stating TW's are rubbish in general and pale in comparison with a Jensens Power and Teutonic Engineering Brilliance.
