Hi mate, we have the older version too. The 13/23. We opted for the twin roller and diesel option right from the off. It's a little beast.

Sitting at 160 hours now and we've changed the discs once. With this diesel twin roller option it can handle a great deal more than the spec suggests. We got it serviced on schedule by the local dealer and it's running great. 6 hours running today on lime and scots pine and it just pulled in everything. Great on wet leylandii too.

If I lost it tomorrow I would replace it with the 130 without a qualm.

Fuel consumption changes markedly when the discs are blunt, sharp and we get about normal three days out of a £20 tank of diesel.

Hope this helps.

Cheers Jim....we are looking at the petrol version as a second machine, but thanks for the info and the review

Cheers Matty

If you can stretch to it get the diesel. That extra bit of oomph does make a difference on a bigger job.

the 130 is good - its the 150's guts and body just with a smaller engine which means the bearings and all get an easy time of it. I wouldnt say it is slow - it keeps a nice pace for us, and is better than at tw150 on forks, even with a dinky engine. main chipper for us. get it!

As for fuel economy, I usually get about 5 - 6 decent size jobs out of one tank.

 

The price per month had to be keen for me to make it stack up financially and the 130 sure does that.

Cheers James.....it was watching your staring role in that you tube vid that made up my mind

Thanks for all your input on this...I,m opting for the Honda engine which is a option they now list.

Cheers Matty

It's not a bad machine, it all depends on what you want to use it for? If you turn up with a 130 to a site clearance or a big beech dismantle you'll get frustrated fast, it's not the fastest chipper but it's certainly capable of small garden jobs which I'm presuming it was intended for by greenmech

[mad matty]

Years ago when all I could afford was a entec ch125.....that chipper did everything big or small. It will be a second chipper to go behind the 110 landy which can only hold 4 cube of chip so should be fine.
