Can you match a CS100 to a truck

[GTS]

Chaps, I bought into a CS100 chipper and its very, very good at what it does. Its not a road tow, at the moment, trailers going to cost me 1k+ to sit it in. That's not my whole problem. If I want to match this set up to a truck then what would you do?

Current options are a 110 hicap with a purpose built back and a winch to get the chipper in, with an ifor 8x5 for chip/logs, or 2, a 55 plate tranny crew cab tipper. My work is domestic at present, only been going 5 minutes. Does not having a 4x4 trailer combo reduce your flexibility?

Many thanks:001_smile:

I too have recently brought a greenmech cs100 and I found a pedestrion roller trailer on the bay for a £100 and fits on perfect . Going to try and leave chip with clients.

I drag mine around on an ifor p7. Room to stand and feed and also to put logs and stuff on as it's got half a ton payload.

fab, does it lock in so it cant be taken off the back by thieving tpots?

It's kept locked in barn next to my house when not being used. It's ratchet strapped to the trailer but could lock it on with a chain.it so easy to move on the trailer and I can take it off and on on my own.

I use a Luton van with a tail lift and wheely bins for chip, logs and sawdust.

I can fit all my kit up top above the cab, pole saw and ladders on the sides, chipper and 8 wheely bins in the back if need be.

12 if the chipper isn't in.

Or I blast into dumpy bags, I can get 3 full ones in, chipper and logs on top aswell.

Also I have a tracked wheel barrow for heavy logs and I can drive it on, lift it up, drive it in and unload.

I also can put the chipper in the barrow with the wheels off and this gives me a tracked chipper.

And it involves lifting nothing heavy:thumbup:

'trailers going to cost me 1k+ to sit it in.'

 

Also on ebay... motorcycle trailer? That's what I put my Jo Beau on. I've put castors on the back of the trailer so I can wheel it to safety through the garden gate.
