favourite 6" road tow chipper out of greenmech, timberwolf and jensen

haha! funny get!!! lol

The only defense I will give greenmech is, they have almost completed setting up a nationwide dealer network, so you have great back up! I personaly, offer a free loan machine should anything happen to yours during warranty, who else does?

TBH, I'll look around a lot before the next purchase.

 

Would prefer a machine that would chip 8" if required (conifer etc and less snedding as stated).

 

Problem is, none of these post '97 test munchkins are allowed to tow much, are they?

 

What is the biggest infeed sub 750KG chipper?

[john@arbtech]

Sorry, but (do research) Greenmech 6"x9", but the 34hp td is the dogs!! get a demo, (I think CBL are your local dealer)(but go on G/M web site and check!) A demo is free!, however if you like the machine, you must say so on here!!!! lol

When you look at the umpteen thousand quid you'll spend on a new chipper, a few hundred in lessons and a trailer driving test is money well spent IMO.

 

Then you can buy and tow the machine that is the most suitable for your needs without having to compromise.

It has, and this aint salesman talk (ring me and you know Im not!!!) our jensens get the blades done weekly, the greenmechs once a month (unless shite goes through! lol)

[john@arbtech]

No disrespect, but, Big, what do you prefer? Im with you!

Used to run 2 Kwik Chip 222's, heavy to tow but substantial and well made, now badged Tunnissen190.

 

Currently run Jensen 530T and very happy with it.

 

I agree that dealer back up and service plays a big part.

 

I've never used a TW or Greenmech, so can't comment fairly on the thread.

 

Used most of the Jensens and 200 & 400 series Kwik Chips, and a 620 petrol Vermeer for many years!

 

I wouldn't want to use the vermeer nowadays, but as Skyhuck said earlier, it beats brashing it up in a trailer.

The arguement about one machines supposed profitability over another is mute if the lower cost machine is as or more reliable than the higher cost one.

 

The Timberwolfs seem as reliable as anything else out there,they come at a priice that is more realistic than their compeditiors.Like the Trucks that tow them,they are fit for purpose.They might not be ideal,but they do the job and for a affordable price.
