The Wee Chipper Club

[Stephen Blair]

order order order in the land of micros!! we have rules here and they must be obeyed, all tiny chippers are awesome, they just differ in colours, let us not fight against each other, use our extra time and strenght from zero brash dragging and use our extra energy from tea and coffee with jaffa cakes from delighted customers to stand against the timberwolf brigade.

Chipper report, Glomel, Central Bretagne.

Never mind the actual job of climbing a tree so dense with branches that you would have to be built like a weasel...

 

Garden path to steep for ANY chipper and we found the alternative access to the field blocked by a large mound of frozen snow dumped by the farmer/commune (that's council round 'ere)

So...

Parked the chipper in the clients garage which was below the surface of the garden and fired the chips through an open window back into the garden after the clients x 2 and my groundy had dragged the waste across the small garden, over the wall and into the garage.

Really a quite small and uncomplicated journey.

Funny to see the chips flying out of the window but as the machine can really throw wet conny we had to devise a screen from a ladder, tarp and branches to stop the chips in their tracks.

I am very pleased with my CS100.. more than pleased.

I just need to fit my tacho to measure blade economy.

I MAY have images very soon to post.

using the micro machines certainly wakes up the creative side of us, after years of just beasting branches around houses into the front street, we can now take our little machines almost anywhere, nice one and welcome aboard mate

Blimey! This machine is earning money! Got 5 jobs where narrow access has been solved by it; 4 of them where the chip can stay. Had two 'phone calls this morning to go and chip domestic cuttings - this is great!

Just got back from a few hours chipping beech, cherry and chestnut. Off the trailer, zoom into the garden, all done in a jiffy. Really ploughed thru the stuff too - I am well happy... will try to get a vid done...

nice one john, it makes our job so easy now, dragging is always the hassle, even chipping into bins or barrows is better, 12 armfulls = 1 wheely bin.

[burrell_]

if it conifer steve its more like 4 armfulls lol but like u say no long drag and no hassle

[Stephen Blair]

i do give the bin a bit of a jump mate, i was thinking of cherry

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

As above, this M500 seems to eat conny FAST and throw conny chip the furthest...

 

Think I might have the blade to anvil clearance a little open at the mo tho - looses power on harder wood over 3"...
