Never used one, not that popular over here I guess.

 

Tw 150 are poor, crap bearings and ally fan blades, they chip well but not for long.

 

Dean cant see why your machines are so different, the infeed is way too slow and the anti stress takes far too long to kick in so takes an age for the engine to pick up again. Hydraulic seem under powered aswell.

I've had 2 TW 150 and they are great, easy to maintain,yes the bearings can go and yes the fan blades are ally, big deal, they are a good machine if you look after them.

Tbh my Tw is going in for new bearings tomorrow but it last had some in 2006

Since then it's not had anything go wrong till this yr.

And it's not a lot to have them done (I hope)well last time it wasn't

Admittedly I don't use it every day though

I would happily buy another but would like to go upto a 190 next time

As requested, no jamming anymore. The speed of the feedwheels can be contributed to the fact that they are a much larger diameter than most, feed rate is 80ft per minute down to a 1/4" chip.

 

 

Which chippers are they on.

All the range or just certain models

Certainly look nice
