I'll warrant that was made in China and never been near Hyundai! The same design is available from other suppliers in a different colour. If it was to go wrong, which supplier fixes it?

I'm sure you are completely right about  where it was made. 

If I have a problem with it, I contact my supplier, who deals with the importer, so in theory that's straight forward. 

In reality the importers have been useless, as apparently the machine is too new for them to have service parts available! Although this has been improved recently and we got what we needed.

at the end of the day, I only paid £1200 for it, it works well, parts are becoming easier and it's only a gravity fed push along machine so there's not much to it. 

With sharpe blades, (reversible and about £40 a set) it makes a very good job of reducing material into a usable product.

Would I have it as a frontline machine for a tree team? Of course not!

is it a money making/saving tool for me on my own as a landscaper? Definitely

Ben, how long have you had the chipper?
Any problems so far?
Tempting price though

I don't have one.. just looked up the price... frankly they all look the same, I'm thinking of buying a Delecks DK800 then putting the bigger b&s vanguard engine (or the honda gx690) on it, and accepting the fact that some of the welds might need reinforcing.

This small pedal powered chipper might be of use. You can sit down and watch tv in the evenings whilst chipping.

Ha ha, I like that ^^^^^^^^^

 

I've just joined the Wee Chipper Club with a 'previously enjoyed ' (second hand!) Jo Beau M300 and whilst I've not used it yet, it was demo'd before I bought it.  I'm going to email Jo Beau on Monday but in the mean time, does anyone have a manual they can  email me please?  Where's best also to get new blades from?

And you could extract the logs too

Thinking of selling my cs100 it's three years old in good clean condition and has two pairs of blades. Any idea on price?

Still looking to sell?
