First Small Petrol Chipper

Recommended Posts

I own and run a small Garden maintenance business. I always struggle with what to do with the brash, uptill now I have hired a chipper  in for larger jobs .  I have decided to lash out, and buy a small chipper . But I am confused as to which one .I have trawled the internet looking at various types ie Green Mech CS100, Hyundai HYCH1500E-2 420 cc Petrol 4-Stroke Wood Chipper   ,Forest Master 13HP wood chipper petrol timber brush branch shredder .  . I understand that I will have to back load onto a trailer which isn`t a problem . As with any purchase it comes down to quality and more important FUNDS . 

I would be really appreciated of any advice .

I have the Hyundai, its been good for me and it chips very nicely, especially given the cost! It has needed regular bolt tightening/replacement, you can see where its cheap in things like the key switch and some of the sheet metal. Its not a problem for me as its only really me that uses it, so if I need to take a spanner to it I do!

But where it matters it works- like when I was chipping conifer and it was throwing chip over the top of the 4ft headboard on my 14ft ifor Williams!!

Yes I would rather have a CS100, but the Hyundai was a third of the price. I probably wouldn't have anything if I didn't have this one.

Thanks for the reply ,and yes cost is a major factor . And it will be only me that operates it ,and as like you . I to have a permanent adjustable spanner handy .I have just watched a Youtube video on the Lumag HC15 ,and that has put me off that type .

I should have said this in my first post:

The reason I have the Hyundai is that a mate of mine is a Hyundai reseller- not exactly a dealer but he buys at dealer prices from the importer, so I got it ridiculously cheap.

To my eye the Hyundai is the same machine as the rock machinery one, and if I were buying under normal circumstances I would buy from them as the service we have received from the importer has been pretty poor when it comes to even basic spares. Although it has got a bit better.
