Tractors and chippers: reliable brands make the difference

The third generation (grandsons Frank and Johan) put new emphases, towards garden and park. Their customers - the agricultural sector, garden contractors, public green services, the horse sector and those in charge of sports centers and golf courses - love their tractors and chippers. You can read why here.

Performance wood chippers

Thomas distributes the professional wood chippers and shredders of the Timberwolf brand, which has been a leader for over thirty years. With its innovative research and design process, the company continues to set new levels of performance and quality standards for the entire industry. In recent years, Timberwolf has invested heavily in producing machines that meet low-emission standards. As a result, the entire range is available with environmentally friendly gasoline engines.

Timberwolf wood chippers are offered in versions with a fast-traffic wheel set, with tracks or PTO-driven. The smallest type, the TW 13/75 G, is equipped with a 13-hp gasoline engine; it can handle logs up to 75 mm, can be supplied with air or solid tires, and features a positive blade feed; its weight is only 188 kilograms.

The TW PTO/150H features a driven PTO and a hydraulic input. Weighing 400 kilograms, it has its own hydraulic system, making it the ideal solution for the green professional who has a compact tractor from 35 hp and up. It can handle branches of 150 mm.

Then again, features of the TW 230DHB include: a diesel engine, a hydraulic feed of 230 x 160 mm, a braked high-speed wheel set, a low own weight (less than 750 kg - driving license B) and a throughput of 5 tons per hour. This makes this chipper an all-rounder.

When you need to go "off road," the track-mounted wood chipper provides the answer. Two versions; 23 or 28 centimeter through-hole! The track drive has  two speeds and, with the TW230 VTR, can pass through an 80-centimeter doorway - thanks to its hydraulically adjustable track drive. Ideal for places that are otherwise difficult to reach.

Small tractors, big performance

In the field of compact tractors, the Thomas company also knows how to distinguish itself, with the New Holland brand, global leader in agricultural machinery. These compact machines more than meet the needs of the pickiest and most demanding green professional.

New Holland's Boomers 25 to 50 come in a variety of versions, with engineizations from 23 to 47 hp and hydrostatic transmissions with two or three ranges. The Boomers 30 to 50 are also available with a mechanical transmission; the Class 2 machines with a 12 X 12 synchromesh transmission and the Class 3 with a 20 X 20 synchromesh transmission, with creeper option.

Whether mowing grass, leveling a meadow, digging a drain, tilling the garden, clearing snow, cleaning a barn or installing a fence: Boomer tractors excel at any job. With these tractors, changing implements is child's play, making it easy to switch to other work. Their reliability and versatility are enhanced by a first-class three-point hitch, a rear hydraulic control valve (standard on models 20 and 25) or two rear hydraulic control valves (standard on models 30, 35, 40 and 50).
