Greenmech cs100 comparison?

[hiluxstihl]

I was very impressed with the CS100 at APF. Is there any equal to it or any advice? I need to get rid of varying waste up to four inch. Though usually a lot smaller. I like the unit and its trailer ive seen

Superb little machines. I've owned one since earlier this year, and I'm chuffed to bits with it! I spent a long time weighing up the pros and cons of various machines, including larger tow behinds, but this came up trumps for my requirements. Reading through the various 'wee chipper' threads on here, swung it for me in the end. They're definitely worth a read if you are thinking about buying one.

I bought one around May time and have never looked back since. It chips like a good un and I probably stick through bigger stuff than I should just let it take it's time

They certainly have a big appetite! As long as the blades are sharp, and the material is properly sned out, it rips through a pile of brash. I've done a wide variety of jobs with it now, both in narrow access situations (which is obviously their main asset) and left on the trailer, chipping into the back of the truck, and there is rarely an occasion where I feel I 'need' a bigger chipper. Superb value for money, very versatile, and it certainly earns it's keep!

Not so bad, the Greenmech is tidy and has a trailer to transport it, about E5000 all in, its not cheap but I was impressed with it... no one has a bad word about them really. Ill keep saving and reading, M Large is the dealer for here, may have a chat

I can vouch for the jo beau. I own the larger m500 and it's an animal for its size plus the engineering on the machines is second to none

Bandit 490XP. It's about 3 miles long IIRC however.

I got my CS100 last week, called it Lewis, and am loving it to bits. It takes 4" + pieces but where gloves, especially with dead stuff.

[rgeparker]

Lewis?! Brilliant! I've yet to name mine yet. But I'll second the wearing gloves tip. Holding on to anything that is just plain wood can be... An experience! Much better when there are small branch tips to hold on to, as they absorb the vibrations.
