I bought it 'nearly new' from arbtrader 9k

Looks like a capable machine for limited access and preventing long drags, not sure about those boots though, you get them from Circus brothers?

I decided to buy the gl&d titan wee chipper. I tried the eliet and jo beau but this simply out performed both of them but certainly is not built as well as either of the other two. So far ive been very impressed. You just cant beat a feed roller!

@shillo What's your slightly longer-term review of this machine? I am very close to getting one myself.

15 of these Pops felled and chipped today with a CS100. Great little machine.

Back in 2021, with my own chipper being a twunt, we put a few large mouldy Lombardi's through my climbers CS100

I do have an Agri-Euro copy but the CS100 18hp is a far far better machine.

Very impressed with it overall except the build quality isn't great, but nothing gone wrong with it yet and ive put several hours on it. 

 

I got bored with the jo beaus etc, a third of the material flows through lovely a third you have to try to force into it and a third you have to try hold it back so you dont stall them. gl&d super just chuck it in and go get the next bit no faffing about.

 

you just cant beat the combination of gravity with the feed roller. fluffy stuff and hedge trimmings are easier to feed to this chipper than my 7inch road tow.

 

The only annoying thing I have found is that you have to remember to switch the hydraulic flow lever from track drive to feed roller drive which I always seam to forget and then wonder why the machine will not track or wonder why the feed roller wont work!

not big stuff, short and fluffy oak

oh the only other annoying thing is that its bloody loud!

Evening all,

 

wondering if anyone could help me source some blades for a "black tools" chipper ?  I thought it was a generic Chinese chipper but the blades are a different size to any that I can find (270mmx58mmx9mm)

 

many thanks

If you can't find any, have you had them sharpened? Should be able to get some more life out of them. I don't know if you have anywhere locally but a few places will do postal service.

What happened to the folk you got it from?
