Cheap domestic chippers - avoid?

Who is paying him, you or B&S? If it’s a warranty job surely they are dealing with it?

Now THAT is an unknown.

I hope the faulty components and time are covered under warranty.

I don't know just how much time he is alloted by Briggs for diagnosing problems and if he will invoice above and beyond the repairs.

3 months in a workshop for a problem involving so few variables.

Like you wrote Mick, if I fell in a barrel of tits, I'd come up sucking my thumb.

Anyway, I had the chippette out again today. Another €200 saved in hire.

Tomorrow too.

Rest of the weeks jobs I've pushed back until I've a more capable machine.

Sorry to jump in here boys. Just wondering if anyone has or has used one of these little chippers?

My antique greenmech needs a fair bit of work and I need something for bits and pieces around the site. When I can't chip, I make piles of brash out the back of a field and let it rot down (over many years). But on occasion I need chip for paths and things so a small chipper will be handy. 

 

Someone earlier was talking about the geotech which looks like it could also be good for such stuff, but if anyone has an input on this one. Would be happy to hear it. 

 

Obviously I would much prefer a 20k chipper, that isn't going to happen this side of Christmas. Not sobbing, just saying.

Use of spell checker probably from a foreign translation. Oops [emoji51]

I'm often shocked at how often at how often machines or aspects of machines are plagiarised.  We saw tech drawings that came from GreenMech on a Chinese chipper site. Then there was the Jensen X track, the Jensen version of the Predator, that Barford chipper, Bandit and Auschip.......not to  mention a brand of chipper based on a German made unit....

Is copying not the highest form of flattery?
