tw125 vs 150

[swinny]

I'd go for the 150, i've used both and was sick and tired of the stress kicking in on the 125, have used another, tunnison 5" petrol, thats the same with the stress kicking in all the time, so annoying and takes longer to chip things.

 

I'm sure my old vermeer 620i chipped better than that tunnison i used

 

I now own a tw150, i condiser them to be "entry" level chippers to be honest, like the ford escort of the car/van world and would't have a smaller machine, or a petrol one again.

 

Diesel, more power and cheaper fuel

 

and yes the timberwolf website says 2 tonne for the 125 and 4 tonne for the 150

I've got a 125 and it's ace its def slower than a 150 but nothing major, but saying that im looking to change it in next few months to a 150 the only reason is being able to run in on Red as unleaded is costing me a fortune and i seem to be filling it up ever other day.

run the bigger machine, save on fuel, speed up jobs and create more profit

I can see your point . I,ve had the big machines 935 vermeer and jobs were quicker . Although I had a few lads back then . I.ve downsized now and the TW 125 is right for me

You cant run a chipper legally on red and if they dip your tanks your nicked.

 

Price of diesel is more then petrol the 125 is very good on fuel.

 

much preferr the 125 fact the bearings last longer on the 125 than a 150. Reason because you are made to change the blades and keep them sharp lazy people use dull blades which ruin bearings.

 

And 2 ton an hour is crap i fill my iveco in half an hour easily its as quick as i can feed it.

 

The only advantage the diesel has is less time on no stress.

 

Apples for apples the 125 is the better option for so many reasons both 6 inch.

 

Id rather have a brand new 125 than a secondhand 150

A 150 will run all day on £10 of red diesel but will cost about £15-20 to do the same with my 125, over a year that adds up and that's why I'm looking to get a 150 not to save customer but to save some myself on running costs. But either way a 125 is a good machine

Nonsense.

[TREE-SURGEON-ESSEX]

If you get pulled by vosa and they dip your tank you will get fined i dont make the rules i get done by them so do it at your own risk.

 

The chances of having a chipper tank dipped is tiny but as your using it on a highway they can nick you.
