The same; rotating the JB chute makes no difference at all

A rip off, but with a swivelling chute which the greenmech misses..

 

Would you mind sending a couple of pictures of how it attaches?

Also curious of how much of a clone it is to the greenmech, as in would it mount the same

I’m using it tomorrow so I’ll try and remember to take some pictures of the underside but I think it is very similar to the cs100 so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same fitting. 
The rotating chute is useful and has never blocked on me but I haven’t tried pointing it at right angles to the machine. 
The game changer for me is the tracks and its small size. Such a useful little machine.

you joeboo owners are used to such poor performance I'm not surprised, when you run a high performance unit like the CS100 the tiniest change seems huge, like a race horse or formula 1 car!

The gl&d wee chipper is expensive for the build quality but performance wise she puts a smile on my face every time I take her out. Just cant beat gravity and a feed roller!

That needs to travel in a luton van and come down on the tail lift. If you're not doing tree work with a luton then who the fyuck are you!

Lutons. One of my first end-client jobs years ago. No recollection how I got it. Dense as darkness thirty-five foot tall conifer. Couldn't get a farmer to leave a trailer so hired a Luton and stacked the whole thing in the back. FULL. To the roof. Horrendously hot day. Spent half of it putting my head under the outside tap.

Anyway. Got it done and got it home. It unloaded surprisingly easily and was smoke in the next ten minutes. Blew the van out and had it back at the hire place for 19:00.

 

£350 from the client.

£120 for the van. £30 fuel etc. £200 for me.

 

I'd arrived.

Next day was red hot too. Went to see the eucalyptus collection at Marks Hall. Limped round like I'd had my coccyx removed. Fond memories.

I am not sure I understand. it is carried on a trailer. it is on tracks so it drives itself up the ramp. in the photo its is just facing the brash and I am blowing it into the back of my truck.

You need to read the last 274 pages of this thread really.

if there had been a tipper for hire you could have mashed it up on there being careful of your feet, then just tipped it. Maybe consider one as a second vehicle
