Although I believe the R & D was English

Lumag, GTM or Wee-Wang industries, anyone actually REALLY used one in anger for years on end, hundreds of hours? 

It would be interesting to hear from those owners.

We have a 2011 GreenMech 14hp CS100 in stock, great condition and this weekend a 2015 CS100 18hp coming in too.

This Jansen GTS 1500E looks good and the price ain't too shabby either.

Not a bad chipper. It's manufactured under licence in China. The Peruzzo TB100 can come to you on wheels. 14 HP Briggs engine and change from 3K

Not sure that the 360 degree is CE compliant to be honest! Does look very good, a tad like the GreenMech but is it only one cylinder? Is it a genuine engine or maybe a Chinese copy? I seem to remember that infeed chute needs to be longer to comply too....

Whats the likely outcome if someone were to blind themselves with chip or lose a finger? Genuine question 

[PeteB]

In theory, using or supplying a non compliant machine could lead to prosecution or an insurance claim. Providing a non compliant machine for someone to use is something that we, as a manufacturer is a hot topic and the hoops we have to jump through is a constant worry!

Interested to know, if anyone willing to share, how much do you book in a wee chipper for on a days job?

I should imagine all these wee chippers are much of a muchness,,  a carcass a blade connected to two bearings.. a shoot long enough that you can't reach the blade with your arms and thats about it..  

 

The only real issue being quality control on the production line..
