Wee chipper,which one?

[geoff]

Hiya all,I,m in the market for a little chipper for those small jobs,& to get into back gardens,now I,m not very well up on them,it will want to be able to do a bit of the dreaded leylandi,but mainly general light prunings,& be manouverable by hand,what are the best & proven ones to get,and any rough idea of cost,idealy I would want one that can fire the chip out of a top funnel.

Any tips welcome from those that have one please.

Thanks in advance,& I would consider a second hand one in very good nick if its the right machine.

Don't bother, be a real man and use a real chipper, leave the wee choppers to the gardeners!! LOL

Jo Beau M300, the original and best. The GM is the young upstart, the new kid on the block many have raved about it but it was just a fad, now their enthusiasm has waned, the interest is lost, and the machines lay rusting in the corner of sheds.

the greenmech is my only chipper and i have put a LOT of material through it in my 7 months of ownership and it has never skipped a beat. Well worth the money, as is the electric start!

Quite right.

 

Build quality of the JB's is like a toyota; GM more like a Vauxhall...

 

Maybe hang on a minute tho because I've heard that TP are introducing a narrow access "wee chipper" based on the TP100. That could be totally awesome - serious chip throw etc...
