Timberwolf sx200

[richy_B]

Hello, anyone owned or had a lot of use of these? Only been about a few years and I heard from my local dealer, they are no longer being produced.

 

I'm dealing with lots of lime basal growth prunings and I am looking at a new option for managing it. Chipping it is ok but it tangles around the rollers frequently. You cant bundle a bit armful in either in a 125/150 - it needs to be fed in. As the material is scooped off the floor there is risk of a bit of rubbish getting in hence chipper over shredder preference.

 

I've used the bigger s426 several times but might be over kill amd I budget won't stretch to a nearly new version (and second hands are rare).

 

I like the 'sharp hammers' the sx200 is said to have, sounds ideal. Is an option on the s426 as well.

 

Any reviews?

Cannot help with you on the TW side but I noticed that there is a GreenMech Combi for sale in Whitby on Fleabay. They do a good job as a chipper with a separate shredder chute.

Cheers Pete. I did look at one of these. Bit of a frankenstein of a machine!

Yes, saw this. It looks like a decent machine and I assume it willl share quite a few components with the 125 chipper, which i did use for a few years.

 

Its just not a widely used machine and if TW aren't making it anymore, it has got be slightly concerned.

 

I am going to get one hire for a week and see what i think.

Give me a PM with a price and location and we could have a chat about it.

After keeping an eye out for 8 months I finally bought one. Petrol model with conveyor. Would have prefered a diesel but it was a really good price for hours and condition. Done a few hours with brashy material and it's works a treat. Will be out working all Summer.
