Small chippers

[Tree monkey 1682]

Ive the old entec tree busta, based on a wheelbarrow layout, 24" wide , proper flywheel shared with its relatives ,18hp koler engine .doesn't go out much  when it goes it will eat 4"  wipes the floor with anything above

One of those was my first chipper.  Heavy by today's standards but what a machine - brilliant.

no doubt good, but the M500 is also mentioned above

When I got the house in France I bought a chinesium version of the Greenmech CS100 (Geotec Pro) to get the orchard back into production. 
I have used it far more than I thought I would, it has worked out great for narrow access/long drag work, or when the customer is happy to keep the chip, it has chipped trees far larger than you would think without dropping a beat.

It has paid for itself ten times over. When I move it on I will replace it with a similar size JoBeau to run alongside the 6” road tow. 
Drum instead of disk all day in my opinion, minimum of 14hp.

But not -always- expensive:

the Hyundai/Chinesium ones are about £20- each, reversible.

Although £120- each, for the Cheese biscuit blades(?) on muggin's Forest Master Chineseium chipper (Epic fail -see Small chipper thread).

I bought the same machine from Agri-Euro for €1372 inc. tax and delivery.

Originally for a 3 day zero parking and nightmare access garden thrash in a medieval town.

It saved our business thousands in hire costs during my Vanguard Efi woes in the dark days of COVID.

It's not as smooth to feed compared to a CS100 being narrower and the infeed having a ledge and protruding bolt ends.

I lent it to a colleague who has now bought a Jansen wee chippette of similar design.

Better finish and paint he reports but over a grand more.
