Hi R Mac, how do you manage loading it onto the trailer? I have a similar chipper on a small ifor p7e, can just about load it o my own.

 

I tie a rope to the ladder rack, run it through a snatch block fitted where the drawbar fits on the chipper and run the rope through it to another snatch block clipped to the Trailer, 2-1 mechanical advantage, I pull the rope and wife guides it up 2 scaffold planks.

 

Keep the blades sharp, carry spare belts and make sure you always have that tool to spin the drum incase it blocks up.

Cheers, I'll get that sorted, need to measure the belts and order a couple. What tool do you mean to spin the drum?

[Barney]

It's a spanner type thing that fits over the bearing enabling you to manually turn the drum, maybe your model doesn't have it.

I got my spare belts from a local supplier and saved over 50%.

I didn't get a spanner with mine, I'll have a look and see what it needs. I'm intending getting the belts locally too.

Belts cost me £23 from my local belt supplier.

Why not get somebody like Palletline to pick it up and deliver it to you, should be about £50. You can get an online quote if you know the sellers postcode.

The bearcat ones are good. Ive had a 50 for a few years and have only just upgraded to a pto one due to a change in work loads etc.

Anyone had/having trouble with the choke on a Greenmech CS100? Mine seems to vibrate on when in use and causes machine to cut out, which is getting a pain in the arse. Was thinking a quick fix with an elastic band so I can still use it to fire it up from cold

[Jase hutch]

The choke operating rod should pass through a 'spring clip' , its worth checking that it's still passing through this as they have been known to come 'adrift'..!

If it's still in it's correct position then you may be able to bend the clip to put more resistance on the rod..?

If the clip has broken then they are readily available from Greenmech or a Briggs dealer and are relatively easy to fit.....
