Timberking made it happen

woodman58 · June 15, 2016, 05:14:31 PM

I ordered a new timberking 2200 a couple of months ago. Getting the mill was contingent on selling my old mill. I have had no luck and then yesterday Matt at Timberking called to tell me my mill was ready. I was going to have to pass on this one and wait until the next one was made. Matt got a call this morning from someone wanting a 1400. He gave the guy my #. He called and we talked for a while and he ended up buying the mill. I am taking the 1400 to Kansas City where the buyer will pick it up and I will pick up my new mill. They are going to train me on the 2200 and while that is going on they are going to train the buyer on the 1400 at no charge. As with the rest of the sponsors here, Timberking once again shows great customer service. Thanks you Timberking for helping me sell the mill.

Pics in a couple of days.

You could let me break in that 2200 for a couple of years. Congrads on a really good mill. My old B20 with 12000 hours still works great. Steve

It's always good to hear of a company going the extra mile, even better when it's one of the sponsors ;) Thanks for letting it be known, woodman58!

did your TK-2200 come with a remote throttle?

I took a 2 inch PVC end cap and cut notches for the handle.

That sounds good. What's the difference of the newer mill? Besides bigger better.

I'm looking at my latest TK brochure, and it says FREE 'TIL 2017, so even if you had not sold the 1400, you could have taken delivery (potentially) on the new one and still had time to sell the old one. But, selling the old one is still the best deal.

Great to have you here and can't wait to see the pictures. Hope I'm not in any of them!

Good luck with your TK2200. You will love it.
Will and gang did the same for me. They helped sell my TK1600, and now I have the TK2200. Quite a piece of machinery.

And the great thing about Timberking is long after you buy the mill the service is the same. Always top notch!

TK has gone above and beyond doing great service for me. Hi Bill great to see you back.

Picked up the new TK2200 yesterday. Everything was great. They trained me on my new mill and Jeff (the guy that bought me old mill) on the 1400. They ran into an electrical problem on the 1400. Had to replace some wires. They did it at no charge to Jeff. They also gave him some goodies to help get him started. Him and his wife left happy campers. I got home last night and rested. Got up this morning and found out that my 20' x 30' canopy is not tall enough for the new mill. So, before I can get going I need to raise it 3'. It will be awhile before I get to use it and get pics. It's a real bummer. Send pics as soon as I can.
