Chipper and operator?

Hi All,

 

Anyone sub themselves and out as 'man and chipper'?

 

I've got a CS100 which was bought for a job a couple of years ago - wondering if there's a market for it and what the pros and cons might be.

 

Does anyone do it and make a decent enough income?

 

Cheers!

"Man & chipper" is more likely to fare better as "all rounder type groundy with the bonus of a chipper".

 

Worked on a job where the guy that had the chipper as a subby, did fook all but fire up the chipper and feed it. To be fair he might of dragged a bit of brash, but no way was he fireing up a saw, despite running his own show as Tree Surgery. No team effort at all.

 

Got to say the cs 100 is a niche market, great for the job that needs it, but if you were only going to be "man & chipper" I would look at what else you bring to the table before you really advertise.

I did this during the winter. Had a 6inch old dosko to start with which was great. I sold it and bought a newish CS100 - much much harder work, it did not take much over 3/1.2 inchs. I was very busy to be honest but just did not think the 100 was up to the job - so its now sold and i am looking for a 6inch feed machine again.

 

YOU do need to go and look at EVERY job mind you to make sure the little cs100 can cope.

Was just looking on eBay at chippers to see what's about and spotted someone with a timberwolf 230 offer on a day operator and machine for £130 and a few others at similar prices, are these guys for real?? How can you afford to eat at those prices!?

 

 

I've noticed this! I suppose there looking at £650 a week - £2600 a month and thinking its a good wage
