TP 175 vario vs tw230??

[prolinep]

Hi all,

 

Just wondering if anyone out there has a TP 175 vario?? And what you think of it?

Iv currently got a tw230 but due to some unfortunate issues I'm having with it im open to see what my other options are and I really like the look of the TP chippers

 

Cheers

What issues are you having if you don't mind me asking?

i recently got quotes for both. main thing steering me towards the tw is the kubota engine

TreeFolk, look at my previous posts and yourl see a lot of photos... Timberwolf have so far been a pleasure to deal with so I can't fault them on that and Greenplant the dealers who sold me the machine have been amazin. But sadly it doesn't solve said problem . So just looking at what else is out there, if not il just settle a deal with timberwolf to get a new 280 model when it's out but wanna see what options I have. Hence why I ask what people think of TP chippers

Been very happy with my 175 and other TPs, different level of build quality imo.

I have a TP160 pto machine, we have used a tracked TP too, the build quality is good, and they make good chip, I think the feed rollers don't quite have the crushing / pulling ability of the likes of the TW or the Forst (which we also have). Having said that I would happily have a TP 175. I will defiantly demo one when I buy my next road tow. I am suspicious of the build quality on the TW230.
