Timberwolf Launches TW 280HB DIESEL Wood Chipper – the Leader of the Pack.

This week at the UK’s Arb Show, Timberwolf will present the latest member to the pack, the TW 280HB DIESEL wood chipper. 

Incorporating an industry tested Hyundai 55hp diesel engine, the TW 280HB DIESEL has been designed to include the best in class features associated with the Timberwolf range of chippers plus a number of enhancements. Above all, the latest Timberwolf wood chipper demonstrates the “Easy to Use, Easy to Own” design methodology which has supported arborists across the globe for nearly 40 years. 

“Timberwolf wood chippers are at the heart of so many arborist’s businesses,” said Chris Perry, Timberwolf’s Managing Director. “We regularly seek feedback from the arborist community and the primary product they wanted to see return in 2025 was an 8” diesel woodchipper. This development project has allowed us to incorporate leading technologies and smart design to deliver a simple yet incredibly powerful wood chipper. From our launch events, I know that our Dealers and Distributors can’t wait to share this machine with their networks.”

Timberwolf, simply easy to use, easy to own. 

EASY TO USE

The role of an arborist is naturally a physically demanding one and Timberwolf has always looked to design wood chippers which are simple to use. 

The TW 280HB DIESEL’s optimised infeed design has a feed funnel wide enough to accommodate the wildest and greenest of brash whilst the flat tray makes it easy to position and rest cord wood as it is fed into the chipper.  With a lifting top infeed roller, a feature on all Timberwolf machines, the chipper readily accepts flat faced cord wood minimising timber kick and re-adjust time.  

Based on user feedback, the throttle cable has been removed and replaced with a new electronic throttle system integrated into the highly regarded side buttons in the operator zone.  A feature that customers should look out for in future developments. 

EASY TO OWN 

Timberwolf wood chippers are renowned for their durability, the TW 280HB DIESEL is no different and owners should expect the same level of easy maintenance with the Dealer network available to support servicing needs.  

In reinforcing the “Easy to Own” approach, the TW 280HB DIESEL is the first of our wood chippers to include new, simple, and accessible diagnostic and operating data to support end users and Dealers alike.  

The intuitive and robustly tested HMI display screen provides not only clear usage data but also engine and chipper troubleshooting notifications.  With an adjustable home screen menu to support user preferences and the DPF regeneration process, the HMI display will also offer a number of language options as a part of the initial launch phase. 

The control software, IQAN, first incorporated into the TW 280HB HYBRID, has been selected as the leading machine control software for its new 8” diesel counterpart.  Once the free app is downloaded to a mobile  device, IQAN provides user access to live operating and diagnostic data - not only for the end user but also remotely to approved Timberwolf Dealers when needed.  

When considering the ease of regular maintenance checks, the TW 280HB DIESEL has zero blade to anvil gap removing the need to spend time shimming to ensure optimal chipping performance. As with all Timberwolf chippers, the chipper is sold with a 3-year Timberwolf warranty as standard with the option to extend to 5 years.
