Which Tracked chipper??

[paul_]

Evening people.

 

Not really a regular on here but looking for a bit of advice.

I'm in the market for a new track chipper. I've been using the new greenmech 19-28 all week and its been a good bit of kit but I've always stuck with timberwolf.

 

Anyone got much experience of a 190TVGTR? I'm looking at a few at the moment and the timberwolf is a canny bit more costly but is it that much of a better chipper? Whats it like off rd?

 

Answers and suggestions on a postcard pls!! I've had a look at a couple but if anyone's selling one let me know too pls.

 

Cheers

Greenmech Vari-Trak out performs them all imo. Speak to Peteb on here:thumbup1:

 

I have bought 2 chippers off him, they have been in excellent condition and his after sales is second to none.

Cheers Pal,

 

I've sent him a message. I'll let you know what comes of it. I'm just a bit wary of the green machine from years gone by but apparentley they're a much better machine now.

GM Safe-Trac 19-28 or whatever it's called is better than the TW imo. Prefer Jensens over both tho.

Used both the 190 tracked and the 19-28, the Greenmech outperforms the Timberwolf chipping, its got the vari track whereas the timberwolf is fixed.

 

The only advantage I can see to the TW is that is weighs a lot less, 1350kg from memory as opposed to 2.2 tonnes from memory, depending on the age of the machine.

personally having used both the TW and GM and untill recently i would have chosen either , this was untill i used a Jensen 2 weeks ago, and now would certainly reccomend looking at a Jensen

[Mike Hill]

Jensen are bloody good.I have had mine for three years,its 11 years old and very reliable.

 

Easy to fix when you need to,alot of generic parts,simple electric system.Top Machine.

we have timberwolf 190 tracked machines at work and they frustraits me. i love the greenmech safe track machines. never used a tracked jensen chipper but the normal roadtow one i used for 2 years in my old job was a fantastic bit of kit..

 

so in awser to your question a greenmech SAFE-Trak 19-28 Mk2 is my choice
