Schliesing vs timberwolf

[Ian F]

I go away for a few days and Look, I miss all the FUN!

[bill]

people tend to believe what they are told by people they respect. ive never used a greenmech but ive been told by someone who's been in the game a while that they arent great. he might be talking **** but id take his word on it. id like to give one a try out but havent used one. i have to say dont like the look of the combi shedder/chipper.

Looks like this thread has died.

 

But by looking at the poll I'd say that someone jumped ship fro the popular to the less so.

A difficult desision. I think it all depends on who and where your local dealers are. It's all about downtime and spares backup. I've had my problems with Timberwolf but am generally content. Most of my defects always occur on bank holiday w/ends! Or my parts requirments are "too old mate". How many other contrctor can boast a 14year old Entec on the original engine!

 

I'll bring it up in the new year Reg!

Generally i've seen less downtime with a Schiesling, its one robust chipper imo.

 

But I do love the timberwolfs, simple and does what it says on the tin.

 

Your Entec belongs in a museum treefitter:proud:

Having Used a 9" bandit chipper i found it absolutley gutless i could have chewed the wood into chips faster. I have used Timberwolf and Jensen and the Jensen is in a different league in my opinion as for Scliesing i have never used one but i have heard very good reports and might look into buying one.

Would that be with a fully serviced machine with new blades and anvil checked and gapped??

 

I have a bandit and although not faultless, they can chip.

[Thurkers]

The chipper had brand new blades put in that day and the anvil was in perfect working order and it was still useless.

[Dean Lofthouse]

Something wrong with it then, one thing bandits do well is chip

[Mr Ed]

Yup, the 90xp bandit is a mean chipper. Something wrong with that one Thurkers.
