Feeding long shoots of pyracantha backwards into a CS100 todays cold drizzle is a fresh low for me...

Lawnflite gts1300 is good little chipper ,had mine about 2 years now with no trouble

I have the same thing but in a more Chinky branding. It's pretty good for the price. My one criticism is that it can sometimes struggle to throw the chip that far, but I'd imagine that this is common to all 15-18hp drum chippers?

 

I sure hope you didn't pay RRP of £2899 for it! Mine was sub 1k before VAT.

Cheap spares, hope you haven't seen the price of 2 blades

£90 a blade. 
That is much the same as other brands out there.

A CS will throw chip a good 15-20 feet no problem. It’ll go further with the spout further “open“ but naturally becomes less accurate.

hello!

 

wondered if anyone had any experience with the Lumag RAMBO HC15 120mm.

 

we're after a small compact chipper and this seems to tick the boxes, uk website listing the majority of the spare and service parts. seen on offer at £1800. website does say its ideal at 80mm - 100mm which works for us as anything above 4 inch we keep for fire wood.

 

prefer it over the look to the 100mm hyundai unit and dont really want to spend 4k plus on a smaller chipper currently.

 

link incase anyone is intested in having a look

Can't speak for the build quality, but the ergonomics looks terrible, look how high the infeed is! If you feed it with longer branches you need to lift them over your head.

Also the infeed is fixed so each time you choke it you will have to pull out the tools to take it apart if stuff gets stuck in there. And a 15hp you will choke

A 15hp isnt "ideal" for those sizes, it will handle it though, eventually.  
Anything between 10-50 mm goes fine, thinner or thicker is less optimal.

Here is another version of the machine

where both in and out pipes are fold able. 
I have a similar machine but decided to not go with that particular design in part due to the high infeed.

Really? Consistently? Would be interested in a video.

Your man here is chipping to the back of a transit which is approx. 13ft? Appreciate the green conifer is dropping closer but then I don't know a chipper which doesn't do that. The chute flap is positioned level so it stays in the bed, if it was opened another 20 degree it would obviously fly further. But then, why would you really need to?

All good points, thankyou!

 

Found a jansen that's similiar but looks a better build. in and out feed are easily accessible, better engine brand and narrow for easy access.
