Absolutely uncanny the similarity between the Peruzzo and the far better original CS100! But then again, they were our dealer in Italy and just plagiarised the units we sent them!

Come on Pete your gonna have to do better than that, In what way is the CS100 far better than The Peruzzo TB100?

The readers deserve to know.

 I think the CS100 could benefit from a few changes.

 Chute which pivots, optional chute extension, optional electric drive to wheels, optional tow bar for garden tractors...

 Add on sales.

Motorised driven tracks would be a start! ? yes even if it means adding a separate little engine

Roaring thru that conifer ! Think we should buy a couple. The output is pretty fast, plus not as nick able as yr towed kit. K

That's an impressive little thing. Shouldn't have watched that, now I'll have to get one! Great for those small jobs where it's really overkill bringing the mog and farmi to Mrs miggins semi d to prune that 20 ft sycamore!

...We did ! Order gone thru apparently. K

Cautrac do a basic one (and atleast it will come with their backup), can't rememeber the price but about 1500-2000 + vat.

Quite a few used machines of various makes on ebay (Honda are obviously a safe bet)

 

 

But if you want to go a across lawns, a wheeled machine is safer than tracks

lol  our opinions on what is cheap  are obviously quite different

You may well be in luck, as i have some tcp tracked dumpers coming to me shortly that may well be in the price range and ideal as a tracked base

Why is a CS100 better, brought from and supported by local dealers with the knowledge and back up from several people at GreenMech? People who will come out and have a look and help get it sorted? Dealers who are local to you if you need anything in the future, not only for the CS100, but also suppliers of a variety of other Arb and Groundcare tools and machinery? How about the few people have had an issue on a four year old unit and we stuck out hand in our pocket to help them out? How about those owners who brought a CS100, developed with help from the British economy, supported by the people who support the British economy, by a company who employee some 120 people in England - all supporting the British Economy? Developed by a company who asked a previous trading partner to support their efforts in their own country but that outfit decided to gut and flush that agreement in such a careless, unprofessional and sneaky manner?

 

Now, will that do for a bit? Buy British, buy from a full on British manufacturer, buy with the confidence of the product having the back and support of someone who has the resources going forwards.

From what you were saying PeteB, I thought you meant it was technically superior.
