Well Done Timberwolf

[Shane]

Did you hear about the Timberwolf Salesman who went orienteering?

 

 

 

 

He was never seen again - they think he lost his bearings

[Shane]

Apologies for that last post - remember I had 6 years good service from a TW

so that was a bit tongue in cheek.

You guys carry on TWing and keep happy.

'Bout time someone started to laud the TW, money makers par excellence, and nothing like land rovers BTW!

[Lyn Ed]

I'll admit to being a bit of a TW basher. I think the design of the flywheel bearngs is awful and I had to change the blades every 8 hours BUT apart from that I must admit I had 6 years trouble free use out of mine, Keeping the blades sharp and not overdoing the big stuff.

 

It was CH25 and was so easy to push about and small enough and low enough to go just about anywhere.

 

Great little machine - it was only when I saw a Greenmech in action I realised there are better (for me anyway) 6 inch machines out there also under 750 KG.

 

It's like everything else in life, its opinions.

They are 'good' - a bit like landrovers - treat them carefully they will last better.

 

what stuff were you chipping to have to change them every 8 hours, i do mine about 15 to 20 hours.

Conifers, birch, small oak/beech etc.

I guarantee that if I ran it for 15 hours the blades would have been U shaped along the edge.

 

I only ran the machine to chip, never ticking over, so it was 8 hours solid chipping. Not a bad machine overall.

 

I still think it reminds me of my Landrover:thumbup::thumbup:

whatever they say in France.

Christ! they love the Oval Badge out here, oblivious to to all their faults.

My TW 125 is getting on a bit 2001. The second engine it is now on is going really well , Kohler 18hp Triad . I have modified the roller's to a more aggressive serrated edge type . They really grab the brash . Short comings are non grease able bearings and that's it really . Oh and not enough down pressure from the the hydraulic rollers . Although that is being modified as I type . I have changed the bearings 3 times in 12 years . The last time was just as a precaution as I was having a weekend of maintenance on the machine anyhow

I think that's a pretty fair post Shane.

 

TW are also British, which is a bonus.

Would you like to borrow a jensen A530 for a day to what you are missing? Also 745kg

Used one, good machine.

Solid, reliable, faster chipping but more expensive and a chunkier off the hitch than the 575kg 125.

 

Kind offer though mate, thanks!
