Tw 125

[Mark Bolam]

I am thinking of getting a TW 125 (5" petrol) because after using my mate's a fair bit I reckon it would be perfect for most of my tight access domestic jobs (1/2 ton, I can razz it round off the truck on my own etc.). Has it got any competitors in the same price range? Used loads of TW 150's, but a ballache to push round on me tod, and I think a lot more money for limited extra performance.

 

Time wasters welcome on this thread, as I have a few ciders in the fridge.

since you keep boasting about your awesome strength and muscles i have a bandit 250 spare as of tomorrow, i think it weighs about 2.5 tonnes, that would be a doddle pushing round the side of mrs jones's conservatory for those little back garden on site chipping jobs:001_tongue:

Thanks Woodpicker.

 

Ah, first timewaster 10 mins in. Was that a genuine Bandit woodchipper? 250 kg you say? Mint condition, one careful owner? £1500? Great! Can you bring it to the show with you Stevie? You are coming on the train aren't you?

[Stephen Blair]

i might have to come on the train, i have sold all my kit and the wife has claimed my window van, i am waiting for you to start sending me videos of your kit so i can feel inadequate:sad:

[Mark Bolam]

I can't seem to send videos! It says my files are too big. Like my muscles I suppose.

 

Your ivy vid had us in stitches. Yee Hah!

[Stephen Blair]

no point trying to scrape it off walls from a ladder mate, the secret is keeping the pull level, the minute you put pressure on the ivy itself it just snaps, i was lucky the house was lower than the road, but you can always go up a step ladder from a distance, the further away the better, and just pull it gentley, do it with your eyes shut so the rope tells you what to do. oh this only works if it hasnt reached the gutters or slates:ohmy:

[Rob D]

I hate it when people cut the ivy at the base then get you back a year later to pull it off... you're pretty screwed then...!

 

Just to get back to thread I reckon that chipper sounds just the job Mark - at least you can move it on your own and so what if chipping takes a bit longer...

ive just brought 1 for my weekend jobs and there's not much difference in my opinion. but if its going to be running all day every day the 150 will be the better choice. but i haven't had chance to test the 125 on conifer yet but dont think it will be a prob

I nearly got one 18 months ago but got messed around by the dealer so went and got a greenmech 220 instead, am pleased with the greenmech, well build and it can shift some stuff, the only thing is it's heavy compared to a tinnywolf, for domestic only or for occational use a 125/150 is a good machine, but were doing commercial aswell now so a 125 probably wouldnt last that long, there again greenmech do simular and are better built IMO! will consider one next time though.
