Eliet maestro


L200

Recommended Posts

I would like to ask your opinion..

 

I run a small garden maintenance business and I think eliet maestro would be a good choice for me.

I don't like high chute position but that's the only downside to it in my opinion.

I would shred small shrubs, bundles of ivy, smallish branches and anything bigger would go to my friend to burn in a fireplace.

 

There is one available in my area.

Apparently someone got it new in 2007 and are selling now with 9h on it :-I

Apparently no commercial use.

 

Is there a meter on that shredder so that I can confirm it ?

5 years with just 9h I don't like that..

I think engines deteriorate quicker if not in use than when used regularly.

What do you guys think ?

If I go to check it over what do I look for?

What would it be worth to you?

 

Regards

Paul

Hi

I have the big daddy, the super pro 2000. Eliet are superb pieces of kit. I recently got a very rude bargain. 2004 machine that did 10hoursand sat in a barn ever since, with the custom road going trailer. Paid 4k for it and sold my old machine for 2.5k

the engine will not deteriorate, but check stale fuel has not ruined the carb.

the great thing about these machines is the knife setup. You can easily sharpen them in situ with an angle grinder if needed, but changjng them can be a long job.

they also dont mind the odd foreign object. I once had a blade snap and go round the shredding chamber, smashing the edges off the other blades, and it still continued to shred and got the job finished before a workshop repair was in order.

what is the asking price of the machine?

Thanks for that.

Asking for 550 ( what do you think? )

 

How do I open it up to get to blades ?

What tools do I need ?

They are around 1200 new, so thats a good price.

At the end of the shredding chamber, there is a screen that everything passes through. It is held in with a pin and rclip. Remove the rclip, slide out the bar and the screen should hinge. There may be a lever to release it too, there is on mine. No tools needed

The main crank of the engine is directly connected to the rotor and the plastic bearing is more of a bush than a bearing. It's on the opposite side to the engine consealed by a small metal plate with 3 or 4 small bolts can put a parts picture up when I'm in work 2moz to show you.
