You never had one then?

I had to replace the bearings twice in mine and was told by TW (a tecchie at head office 'unofficially mate, they need changing every 200 hours')

 

Just look at the size of the two rear bearings - shameful desigm

This is why I didn't buy one!! Why they haven't changed the design after all these years I will never know!

Hello,

New Quadchip owner here with 21hrs on the clock.

Find the turntable an excellent feature and the fact the blades will be easy to access once they need turning.

The blades have 4 sides too.

The grease points are easy to use and remember.

I didn't like the fact the Timberwolf dealer lied to cover up his lack of knowledge and pestered us like the child support agency for weeks after our demo.

Nothing against the TW, its was just older technology and I was put off by the chocolate bearing issue.

Not that much then, the vox pop has it greenmech are superior. I used one years ago (around 1998) and it constantly blocked up, they seem to have improved.

I have an early TW 150, yr 2002 and have got 800-1100 hours before chainging bearings. All about the maintenance (belt tention, professionally sharpened blades etc) and operators!

 

I have only had a demo of the GM. My lads felt its finished design was not as good and the plating was likely to stress quicker due to it being thinner on the drum housing. They where operating our TW190 the same day though!
