If you're right in the north of uk you may as well get a Timberwolf. If you live anywhere else, get a Jensen.

No one ever buys a timberwolf once they've used a Jensen, know what I mean.

 

Why get a tinny wolf if in the north? Dont get a tinny wolf full stop.

 

Used greenmech, good psrts back up v helpfull factory and british, I have two and rate them .

 

If weight is no issue get a bandit. Unbreakable.

I will stick up for Timberwolf as I love em, I've had 2 and would recommend them. If you look after them and you maintain them well then you will get years of use from it. Yes there are other machines out there that people say are better etc but I can't comment on these as I've never used anything other than Timberwolf.

But the 150 is poorly built with weak bearings and fan blades and a very basic spec but there cheap I guess. The new 240 is a better machine all together.

But I have not had problems with mine so why would I want to say its poorly built?? I dont think its poorly built, there are 2 plastic side covers and everything else is metal, i look after my machine and wash it every week, grease it every week, check the oil and water daily and change the blades every 20-30 hours,I did the bearings after 600 hours. i had a fan blade chip at 500 hours and this was when I had hired it out and I think they put something through it that shouldn't have gone through, that's why I don't hire it anymore. if you keep the blades sharp and don't put sweepings up through then you won't have problems. If the blades are sharpened to manufactures spec then the bearing should last to at least 500 hours. I agree it would be better if the bearings were heavier duty with grease points. Maybe you have had a bad experience with TW but for me they have been fantastic as has the dealer backup and parts supply (next day) if I have a problem I can call up and get advice over the phone.

Timberwolf tell you too change the bearings every 250 HRS for god sake, no other leading manufacturer uses choco bearings and ally fan blades that snap off

 

I have never changed a bearing or chipped a fan blade on any of my machines.

 

500 hrs is crap for an industrial machine bearing, timberwolf do this as it brings a lot of work for there dealers......fact as one even told me at the aa show !!!!!

 

I have used plenty and would never own one.

 

New 250 I would happly buy..
