Greenmech CS100 Advice

[wicklamulla]

it's a no brainer. Buy a CS100. I stihl run mine aswell as a bigger 6inch road towable chipper.

I have one and it's ok! Think the anvil gap needs making smaller as it bogs down quite easily, might be because I have the 14hp version though! I had the same idea of winching it into the back of my Hilux but gave up as the machine is very heavy for its size and because of the front "foot" of the machine it can't really be done on your own as the foot will be between the ramps, even if you put a ramp in the middle for the foot to ride up you still can't do it as the rubber stopper on the bottom of the foot digs in! I bought a roller trailer for mine but ended up with an ifor williams p7 to put it in as gives you more room for chip or logs etc!

I'm not trying to put you off the cs100, I'm sure it's a great wee chipper but do not over look the jo beau range of chippers. I have the m500 and it's excellent, been putting 5-6" lime through it today without a bother, flies on 4" stuff and has a wide hopper and knives so not as much sending necessary

Much dearer though!?

Stick with the Greenmech at that price! Can't be £5000 better?

Is the M500 gravity fed?, if it is i think i would rather the timberwolf 18/100 for that money

It's nowhere near that price, the extra cost is the larger opening, 24hp Honda engine, swivel discharge with quick release & the hydraulic drive system for the wheels. All in all a unique piece of kit.

M400 is the same size as the cs100 as well. The 500 is as Dean says not really like for like other than a gravity fed chipper.

So for the money they cant really be faulted... there no Vermeer BC1000XL but horses for courses... and prices!
