Forst ST6 chipper bent axles

Difference between timberwolf and ever other brand is, for example take a Jensen, after 6-10 years use is normally reconditioned and sold

As an almost new machine, however after 6 years a timberwolf is scrap. After using a 2 x 190's for 3 years i am put of for life,

 

 

Utter tosh. I have had my 150 VTR for 6 years and is spot on, looked after and maintained.

How many reconditioned timberwolfs do you see? The two 190's that we were using we beasted day in day out In forestry thinning to be fair but were pritty much unusable towards the end,

This really is not true, I would wager that at least 80% of all the Timber wolf and Entec chippers ever built are still in use, some will be 20 years old.

I have to say my Forst tracked chipper is great, used most machines in my time, but the forst is one hungry beast!!

 

I find a lot of 6" machines are chipper first, trailer second, with some compromise between the two. If that makes sense?

 

The reason I went tracked was so i can move it long distances on a stable twin axel trailor . the cost may be more, but in the long run its proving cheaper/more reliabble.

 

Agree with skyhuck on TW and Entec, take a look on ebay and there are loads of resprayed tws, not to mention decals galore!
