Timberwolf launches the All-New TW 230DHB

[T14EES T14UNK]

Isn't if normally measured in cubic metres and not by weight which has obviously got a lot of discrepancies itself. I'm not trying to be pedantic but it just seemed to stand out as soon as I read it.

[skyhuck]

I had figured that the weight reads 749kg but does not state when fully fuelled it then lists a fuel capacity further down the spec . So can only guess that the chipper weighs more when fuelled ??

 

He throughput per hour really is not that obvious , I don't think I have ever seen a spec sheet with an over .. Tons per hour , usually I would expect to see up to .. Tons per hour which would indicate that the manufacturer knows pretty accurately how much their chipper can chip per hour . But I can understand that maybe the TW has not been trialled enough to know that yet

 

But chipping what? twist Thorn, conifer, cord wood???

Looks like the machine weighs over 750 when full of fuel ? , also I'm a little curious as to why it says over 5 tons an hour ?! I mean ten tons an hour is over 5 tons right ? ..........

 

Amount capable of chipping Useley in cub/ mtrs anyway. So can't really say in tons has each tree varies in density and weight. Someone can tell me if am right or wrong?

 

It looks like a decent machine and if they don,t over price it I think the'll do well.

What I have read about this chipper and the pictures I have seen, it looks like a great chipper. I hope Timberwolf does well with this machine. Looking forward to seeing it at the APF.

 

It will outsell everything next year by a good margin, been using the ST6 since i gave our demo machine back and a few times its been said "wish we still had that 230 on demo"

 

Get a demo folks, see for yourselves.

Would you want it any other way!?

Thank you for pointing out the flaws in the information we have provided.

I will get them rectified on the web page tomorrow but to clear up your queries:

 

To be legally sold in the UK/EEC any towed equipment (including chippers) MUST comply with a new piece of mandatory legislation called Whole Vehicle Type Approval. There are many things that the machine must meet before it is issued with a type approval number; one of these is weight and the law is very clear on this: the chipper must be weighed 'wet' i.e. it must have all necessary fluids (water, oil, hydraulic oil) and the fuel tank must be at least 80% full of fuel. The weight is registered with the authorities and this is the maximum the chipper is allowed to weigh - it can weigh under what you report but NEVER over, this would be against the law.

We weigh all our chippers with a FULL TANK OF FUEL just to be on the safe side. The chipper is registered at 749kg but actually weighs 747kg with a full fuel tank.

 

Regarding throughput; whatever we state someone is going pull us up on it!

At the end of the day it all depends on the material type being chipped that is going to dictate throughput. When you consider chip density can vary between 152kg/m3 and 543kg/m3 throughput per hour can vary tremendously! If you are fit enough to keep up with this machine and the material is dense enough then the 230 will comfortably do over 5 tonnes per hour hence our wording.
