Small chipper help

[bumble B]

I am struggling deciding on a small chipper. Options seem to be Jo Beau, Jansen GTS200 and Greenmech CS100. Any advice and reviews would be appreciated.

I’ve recently bought a new cs100 and absolutely love it. Got a hour clock put on to help with servicing and seeing how long jobs take. I do a bit more sneding but makes my life easier. Took me a long time to  take the plunge wish I did it ages ago. Easy to service and move about. Because of its size can get round back gardens and save on the dragging. I’m educating all my clients to take the chip on there beds. 

Can’t review on long term yet but I’ll keep it looked after and keep blades sharp and hope it will make my life easier for years to come.

Thanks for the response Maple, I've just found another called Haecksler. Which other machines did you look at?

Looked at the jo beau. But I was impressed with the green mech also I got it for £4000 plus vat which was a very good price. My local greenmech dealer is also local which is a help. The whole chipper impressed me and I want to have something that will last and hopefully keep its price when I have to say goodbye if I want to move up to something larger.

Have a look on "The Wee Chipper Club" page. The cs100 are a great first chipper, easy to maintain and superb aftersale/maintenance advice from the Greenmech guys on here. Don't know how I ever managed without mine. Upgrading to a 150p this year but I'll be keeping the cs100 as it's great for the back garden work, as Maple says, talk the customer into wanting the chip

It's looking like Greenmech at the mo'. Does anyone know about the Jansen GTS2000? it looks similar.

I'm sure the Jansen (and all the other copies) have their use, but you can't really compare a machine made in china on a budget, to one made in the UK, or Europe for Jo Beau

Having the same issue.
Hyundai 1500 14hp £1500,
Rock venom £1500,
Or greenmech cs100 for £4K+
If I had the extra cash I'd probably get a gm cs100.
Looks like a toss up between rock and Hyundai for me.
Anyone running them?
