smallish chipper?

[GTS]

Hi chaps,

what would you go for if you worked on small stuff, domestic garden scrub, leylandii and fruit tree branches. I am fed up with smashing it up in the trailer with my bigger saw to mulch it down. My budget isnt big £2-3k. CS-100 or a 125 timberwolf. I van the trailer around and dont have a 4x4 or similar as yet.

 

Thanks v much

Nathan

Cs100 take it in the trailer and chip into the trailer, if you get a bigger chipper what you going to chip into?

[GTS]

Thankyou, will take your advice up, Its hard work trying to work it all out from the start.....

The other thing with this set up is you can ask the punter if you csn leave the chip on site and get the machine next too where your working, then no dragging..

The Jo Beau M300 is 35kg lighter than the CS100. I have no intention of starting a slanging match as I haven't seen the CS100 perform but 77lbs weight difference may mean something to you. To me it's the difference between being able to drag the chipper onto the pickup bed and not being able to, so I have the Jo Beau.

I have a jo beau m500 which is amazing but a little out of budget I think. The cs100 would do you well and if you have the money and get in quick there's one on ebay at the moment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251301209563?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Failing that, maybe have a look at the gtm pro? http://www.abbeygardensales.co.uk/subprod/commercial-chippers-0000510.aspx

I have no experience with these so cannot vouch for them and will also probably get slated for suggesting them but personally I don't think they look bad for the money

£4.5 + VAT give or take.

The weight difference is actually bigger than I thought: I was quoting for the M300 INT, which I have, and that's 145kg.

The INT is no longer available; the straight M300 is 130kg.

And my original maths was wrong; should have said 45kg difference, not 35kg.

 

So.. CS100; 190kg

M300; 130kg

 

I'm sure weight isn't everything though.
