Once you have used the discs you won't go back. They are better than square blades in every way IMO. They last much longer between sharpens, can be rotated, and seem to keep working after being abused (not advised but sometimes necessary). We have chipped re-bar (accidentally) before now and completed they day's chipping before changing/turning the blades. I buy them in bulk from Saturn Machine Knives when they are on offer and they are very good value - they also offer an excellent sharpening service. I don't have any personal experience of the square GM blades but the feedback seems to be good - they look pretty pricey though.

 

If you've never used square blades how would you know the discs are better? Iv used both, and I'd have the square knives every time. I don't chip any rebar though.

Sorry - that wasn't very clear. I was comparing the discs to square edge blades in general as used on most makes of chipper, of which I have used plenty! I wouldn't recommend re-bar, or micro pulleys either for that matter...

That makes sense! Iv used disc blades and square ones in the same machine, and much prefer square ones. You get an extra turn for one thing.....

The new TW240TDHB(t) is due to launch very soon, I know you will be pleasantly surprised, the original design was good, the new one is awsome:sneaky2:

What's been charged ed?

 

The new spec sheet will be out very soon, a few of the major changes include.

 

Revised design to the in-feed hopper to give better visibility of the feed rollers and also to reduce debris falling back onto the floor.

 

New feed roller design for better gripping and snapping of forks.

 

New flywheel design with innovative blade positioning for better, smoother chipping action.

 

Side mounted feed and reverse buttons.

 

Remote turntable release lever for easier, safer operation.

 

Re positioned road lights.

 

See through fuel and hydraulic oil tanks.

 

The improvements made on the new spec TW240 will impress all of you who saw the original machine, those of you who did not see the original would be well advised to have a demo of this machine as soon as it is available, if you are in the market for a new trailed, sub 750kg chipper with a 6" x 9" in-feed, I believe you will have to go a long way to match the new Timberwolf TW240TDHB(t).

:sneaky2:NOT THAT I AM BIASED OR ANYTHING:sneaky2:
