Any one used one of these?
 

Or recommend something about £1k

 

Thanks

 

I've been using one of the new Cobra chippers for a couple of weeks. Am impressed with its performance on 3" or so sweet chestnut and hazel chipping.  its not a 6" commercial chipper, but it pulls stuff through fast and chews it all up pretty good and for just under 1k its not bad at all. With the Loncin engine. I would like to compare the 15hp to this machine to see the difference, so far I have had no trouble with it doing fairly big stuff. 

 I suppose being that these machines are so cheap, maybe the thing to do is have a small collection of them and get used to which one is better for what. I had been eyeing up the Crytec 15hp machine but my local dealer did a deal on the cobra so I went with that for now.

I am selling a cs100 18hp , had a clock on it since new only done 42 hrs.

Its a 2017 engine been stored undercover. Like a new machine. Only selling it as getting no use out of it as getting on a bit so not climbing as much.

Im in Bournemouth, Dorset. Looking for £4200ovno no vat.

Been chipping up tons of stuff the last few days with this little beast. Well impressed with its performance. 
 

Made some of the best hardwood chip I’ve seen. I talked myself out of getting one for about a year. But it’s working great.

Can you do a video of it working? Keen to see it in action?

I put up a video. That was 4 minutes in real time and I sped it up so it was a bit more exciting. I’ve got through 4 fairly large piles of 2-4 inch rhodo today, each pile took about 5 or 6 minutes to chip.

Do you think a lot of 3” would kill it? Did you get a good deal purchasing it?

Do you then have to drag that bag of chip away? Must get to a point where you have to stop filling it before it becomes too heavy?

Pretty much. Just put it on the trailer and take it to where it’s needed. 
 

otherwise you can just make a pile like normal to be fair. 👍
