New cs100 price

[carsmarco252]

Is 5000.00 including the vat (no trailer) a good price for a brand new cs100?

You'd get 3 Rock Machinary Venom's for that and have £500 left over!

I don't think so. Spend another 2 grand or so and get a decent used timberwolf 125 from a dealer that's been checked through and ready to go. I considered a cs100 then I thought.. hang on, that's a lot of money for something that won't even pull the branches in itself. If you are spending 5 grand in the first place, spend a little more and get something worth having. My 125 is excellent for my small set up and is good for small and large jobs...
Only my opinion, of course some people like the mini chippers for wheeling through gardens etc...

For my setup a micro chipper is the best option. I don't have the need for a large chipper and I don't have a tipper van so I'm going down the micro chipper route. They are surprisingly good. I'm just wandering on the price I've been quoted.

That's fair enough [emoji3] seems what one would expect for the little green Mech. I was originally thinking to buy an ex demo at 4500 Inc vat a couple of years ago when looking for a chipper...

List price on a new one is currently £4,640 plus vat, so yes, I think £5k is about right. And welcome to the family if you go ahead. You have it spot on with your need, the TW (or similar sized tow behind) cannot be pushed around to the side of the house and used in the back garden easily yet a CS100 can.

PeteB... Are you a cs100 owner? Are they a good machine and are the blades easy to change on them? I'm looking into the cs100 as I have a dealer 20 minutes from me, they have a 3 Yr warranty and they have a good resale value. My other option is the skarper c90. 800.00 cheaper and probably easier to move around but the dealer is 3 hours away and only comes with a 2yr warranty
