I'm waiting to see if Jo Beau have plans on mounting the M400 on its own trailer. I really want them to do it. I have the M400, love it, but fed up of loading it on and off the trailer. 

I'm going to say M500 - pulls itself up the ramps. Otherwise it's the electric winch.

The M500 isn't worth the extra money for an little extra power and self drive.

Apologies if it's been covered before in this thread but I`m looking for some advice.  After spending 2.5K on waste disposal fees last year I`m beginning to think that it`s time we financed a small chipper.  I`ve wasted money on a small MTD chipper/shredder in the past that was completely useless so don`t want to make the same mistake again.  I`m looking at the Skarper C90, JO Beau M300 and Greenmech CS100.  I`ve read that they are all good popular machines.  I do however need one to be able to handle Leylandii as we end up with a lot of that nasty stuff.  I also need it to be able to through the chip quite far to the back of a williams trailer (about 3m) and also be able to chip into a wheelie bin as an option.  It`s also important that it`s easily unblockable.  The last useless machine I had required something like 9 bolts to be removed and an engineering degree to unblock.  Thanks for your wisdom.

I can only comment on my newly acquired Skarper C90 Pro, but I transport it in my Ifor Williams 12ft trailer. It is light enough to get in and out single handed, will chip into a wheelie bin, throws the chip about 10-12ft or so and chews through Leylandi. It is an amazing bit if kit and for me it will make life so so much easier. Also to unblock it, it is two nuts using the spanner provided and attached to the chipper body.

Thanks.  I`ve looked at the Skarper C90 but I`m just concerned about parts and after sales as it doesn`t seem to be such a common machine.

I don't think you'd have problems there; FR Jones sell it and parts.

 

I have a Jo Beau, for which there are only two agents in the country, both many miles away.  Getting parts and service is no problem at all.  (That's a plug Dean!)
