The Wee Chipper Club

...he shouted while running away after lighting 'wee chipper thread' blue touch paper!

Is that right though, surely Joseph was in his workshop in Belgium a fair old time ago?

[nepia]

Yeah - go Jo!

I wasn't sure if the CS100 would get up the stone steps and around the corners so I brought the Evo as plan B.

The idea of dragging everything out down steps, around corners, through narrow snickets into the garage to chip in the street gave me anxiety as I thought I've blown it on this quote.

Thanks to the wee chippette, job done by 3pm, loaded by 3:30 cheque in hand.

There was a birch removal too.

Since you're going to ask about the stumps, plant pot stands...

So...

 Back before Covid I bought a generic Chinesium chippette for a couple of similar jobs in medieval towns.

It ended up being used rather more and on some quite large jobs when my GM150 was having issues.

We also used Jérôme's CS100

The machines are really quite different.

Chinesium is far louder.

Blade life is about half, the guy who sharpened the last pair was surprised just how soft the metal was.

Infeed 11cm narrower, makes a vast difference.

Bolts, replaced.

Body alignment.

Ease of feeding, Chinesium has an inconvenient void before the anvil which traps branches.

Anvil alignment too is less accurate.

Security electrics poor so disabled.

Loncin engine has good power, easy electric start and a centrifugal clutch.

However it has developed a crank shaft seal leak which is a simple and cheap fix for my mechanical groundy.

Value for money, can't beat it if you can live with the D'merits and use it only occasionally but otherwise CS100 is the machine of choice.

Needs a swivel chute and a chute extension as options though...

I'd be interested to work a CS100 for a bit, my JoBeau has 50cm wide infeed which does mean a lot of Y shapes you just bend and shove until it's eaten the join.

I saw this video and almost passed out thinking of the fatigue of feeding that machine.
