Camon c250 chipper info

[deezyboy]

Hi all,

Looking at buying my first chipper, a camon c250 and although people on here will probably tell me to steer away from it, for the price I think it is perfect for me and my business.

Question:

How easily are parts available?

How easy are blades to come across?

 

Thanks, Ben

Is it the one on eBay in Exeter?

Can't help you with the parts info . Although as a first chipper it will be spot on . Bear in mind you will need to put a bit more effort into snedding branches before chipping

Parts are easily available from TrackMaster in Burgess Hill,Blades are kept on stock and weren't too exorbitant last time i bought some - I'd imagine that TrackMaster do a pretty good parts delivery if you don't have anyone closer.

Lots of careful snedding and go gentle with the wet connie!

Cheers

Steve

my first chipper was one of these and a great break from loading brash onto my trailer and burning it,,,

A great affordable first chipper and like most say, sned everything up,keep the blades sharp and it will chip wrist size stuff all day and to be honest you should be logging anything bigger anyway!yes its not a gravely/jenson/vemeer, but its a good start!

very good firm i used to get my rotavator blades from them and normaly next day delivery. as for chipper the one i had was on my rotavator was ok for chipping but went on floor. and i asume it has had mods as mine was fed in from top for brash and sticks in the side.

Yes I'm hoping to look at the one from Exeter.

 

Thanks for all the info, pays to do your research now than when you've exchanged your money!

Cheers

we've got the diesel version and they are good chippers we have had a few problems but they wouldnt put me off. blades come from saturn the bottom roller seizes up because of the cover underneath take the cover off and fling it the stress control is a good unit but poorly situated where it gets hit with water the bottom roller shaft breaks thru the circlip groove and the bearing fit on the shaft was poor resulting in sloppy bearings

I had one for years, they can block if the blades are not sharp especially on wet conifer, I shortened the spout and that helped a lot, then I welded a pipe on the spout to attach the blower to push the wet chips out, never had a block again.

Honda engine is bullet proof, bearings are greaseable nice and light to push around yourself. Only problem I had was the plastic fuel tank burst but I got an alloy one fabricated. Great first chipper

I had one once. I bought it new and it was a big mistake.

It's not strong enough.

The first one went back under warranty.

So did the second.

I sold the third as soon as I got it and never looked back.

 

If you're trying to minimise your spend call Charles at Arbrep Services and go and look at his chipper. 6x12 inch indeed! Powerful, strong. Well priced.
