The Wee Chipper Club

Used the rebuilt Jo-Beau M300 for the first time today. The lads were impressed by it, but I knew what it was capable of from having had the same model some years back. Taking it out later in the week when we are dismantling two good sized ash trees in a rear garden that is a bit tight for extraction. Plan is to put the smaller brash through the Jo-Beau in the rear garden as customer happy to keep chippings. Then take larger cordwood/brash out through tight access to the bigger chipper and chip into the chip box on the truck.

Does anyone know what sort of money JB250's should be used? They literally don't seem to exist for sale from what I can find. 

I guess you can ask Global a price for a new one and work from there. Looks like that is more domestic so I guess lower price - just been looking at the jobeau website and there's loads of new stuff, log splitter, scarifier, seed drills. I guess they want to start selling more stuff as they kind of have a problem selling me another chipper since still running a 20 year old one.

I've had quotes for 200 250 and 300. The price of the 250 and 300 isn't dissimilar as although I think the 250 is designed to be domestic, global don't buy them in that way. I believe they are sold in Europe woth a b&s 2100 series but global spec them with a gx390. I believe the drum, knives and working parts are the same as the 300. Its all a bit odd to me! I'm still yet to find a 250 or 300 used on ebay or marketplace! Are you running a 20 year old 300?!

Ah I saw the B&S on the website which I guess is Europe as you say. They don't come up used very often at all, I have an M500 and have seen maybe 3 others come up in the 7 years I've owned it. I think mine is around 20, main label long gone.

 

The other yardstick is the CS100, these never seem to fall below half new price as long as in reasonable condition, so if you could find a used M300 I guess it'd be somewhere between half and full price. I believe I have seen one on eBay but not often at all.

I decided to buy the gl&d titan wee chipper. I tried the eliet and jo beau but this simply out performed both of them but certainly is not built as well as either of the other two. So far ive been very impressed. You just cant beat a feed roller!

What price did that come in at?
