Timberwolf 150 pros/cons

[JN Tree Care]

Hi all been thinking of getting a tw 150 6" due my age ie towing restrictions.

Any good and bad points would be much apreciated

You're bound to get loads of naysayers on here, but they are the best selling chipper for a reason! I've got one and I love it.

Con- It's not a greenmech. :lol::lol:

Small capacity, non serviceable bearings, general low quality just get yourself a nice Vermeer/Jensen/Schlising the bigger the better, get B+E if your concerned about the towing

Pro - amazing resale value. The Timberwolf 150 holds its value way better than any of its competitor. This is a testament to its reliability, performance, and cost effictiveness.... A true investment.

 

Call orange plant if you have any questions 😉

You say towing restrictions - why not just get your b+e licence? Costs around £300 all in. So much more choice for chippers and trailers.

Got a 150 love it munched its way through 1otonne + of blackthorn yesterday just hate doing a blade change on them make sure you change the bolts every change and you will be fine.

Good chippers, plenty of bits avaliable, service bits cheap. simple design.

 

opening to rollers square so more snedding, radiators very expensive if they go....

 

Mines been a belter.

 

Seems the new flywheel bearings made nowadays are made out of cheers though...

 

I daren't change mine lol

Really disappointing capacity per hour, some jobs a little baby chipper just can't keep up.

 

The old ones, possibly the new ones too, have an annoying habit of pushing curved branches down and getting the butt end stuck behind the anvil

thats the single most annoying thing about this chipper. awkward forks too.
