Have had both Timberwolf and Greenmech chippers over the last 20 years. The paint seems to just peel and fall off of them within a very short time. Do all modern chippers use powder coating? Seems cheap to me to design and build a machine to such a high spec and not do a proper paint job. You would not put up with a car in the same way

Powder coating is quick cheep and simple and bloody awful only ever good ontop of galvanised steel it's the pin prick holes that stones and chips that let water under and then rust but you never see it till it's a huge rust spot etc

Don t understand why we put up with this. Chippers are relatively simply built machines that are hugely expensive to purchase. Seems like a conspiracy to reduce the working life by the manufacturers. The one that I am using at the moment is two years old and the paint has started to peel off. The older TWs seems better built than the newer ones.:thumbdown:
