timber wolf w230 DHB problems

[prolinep]

hi guys and girls,

 

not a slagging off match or this machine brand is better than that one ... this is just a thread to find out peoples experience,

 

In Jan i bought a brand new TW230 and in the time iv had it iv had a lot of issues with it, mostly cracking issues and a noise issue with the rollers.

 

just wanna see how other people are getting on or if it is just me and iv got a friday machine.

 

mine has done 152hours what has other peoples done ??

 

Iv had

Top flywheel casing crack ( first claim to be paint now needs welding)

rear door cracked in two places, (been changed under warranty)

hopped cracked

roller cover cracked ( replaced and now cracked again)

the cover that you remove to change blades is cracked

Rollers wine and make a loud noise

engine mounts replaced

flywheel paddles replaced

 

Is this normal? I'm currently in discussion with my dealer ( who are being awesome and doing their best) but i wanna see other people side of things with their machines.

 

Cheers

I have a 230 VTR, 45 hours. The rollers were changed under warranty, they have modified them now and the rollers don't make any noise. My dealer couldn't do enough. If you get no joy from your dealer then why not try Timberwolf direct.

What's issue wi rollers

[Hodge]

They can make a funny noise, any new machines shouldn't do it now.

I'm sure TW will get it sorted for you.

That's a lot of cracks, do they/it vibrate excessively?

If I spent that kind of money those chippers cost, I seriously would not be impressed with that. Hope you get it sorted I own a TW and are great

Thats only a handful of cracked my phone is filled with pictures. but pointless me keep uploading them ... think those alone should do the job to show people my issue I'm having,

wouldn't say its vibrating anymore than any other chipper out there. just seems ike the metal isn't think enough to withstand the vibrations, keep in mind that its is less than a year old and only 152 hours on the clock so has had very very little use.
