Usual generic Chinese machine with the same engine and drum as all the others. All the usual points and caveats apply.

 

They are not legal to tow on the road, so unles you plan on doing a lot of towing it around big gardens etc, you might want to conside the other chassis design (trolley type) as they are narrower.

I’ve had one for 3 years now

Please can an I as those of you who are running the lower budget Chinese made chippers a question? (such as Rock machinery/sinolink/crytec/lumag/hyundai machines)
 
what do you do for spare blades? or are they a close enough copy of the CS100 to use those blades?
 
many thanks 

I buy from genpower for my Hyundai who is the uk dealer. Cheap but don’t last very long at all. Green mech one are more expensive but probably better quality and harder wearing. I doubt they fit other machines

How is it - I have a small holding and would probably use once a week.

Has to be said.....These are niche machines.... so for a small holding it's probably perfect. If I was using it every week for arb work I think it would do my head in, but for personal use for the price its great.

 

I think if you don't overload it with big material it copes very well. The blades last 10-15 hrs of actual chipping I'd say, and then you are having to shove the material down which becomes infuriating compared to it just sucking in the material.

 

Blades are easy enough to replace and I buy them from the uk suppler - Genpower. There may be cheaper places to buy - don't know. Haven't bothered to sharpen them yet, thought I would save up a few and get them done together a bit cheaper plus.....The anvil is a pig to adjust with any degree of refinement. The big the gap the smaller the diameter of wood it can cope with. So I don't really want to have to adjust for some newly sharpened blades compared to brand new blades.

 

Haven't had much go wrong with mine and when it has Genpower have been pretty reliable for replacing parts.

A credit card or two each side, tap it down and tighten. Simples.
