CS100 Question

[Shane]

The CS100 is a great machine, and will eat 4 to 5 cubic metres of material per hour. The machine was designed and built for professional use - and has the highest productivity in its category. Go for it!

 

I assume you mean process 4-5 mtrs of brushwood per hour and not 'produce 4-5 mtrs of chips'?

Please ignore that last message - I mis-read your message.

Apologies.

Is this fact?

Close, I did well with the timberwolf 18/100 for a year as a first chipper, handled pretty much anything and i'd put that as the minimum level required but once you move up to 6 inch roller fed life is much easier

 

I just traded my 18/100 for a Greenmech CS100 and I think the CS100 processes branches faster. Certainly it's the case with forked material or more bushy stuff, as the throat of the infeed is much larger. For a similar ability level it's also much more compact which can be very handy.

 

Of course it won't keep up with a 6" roller fed machine. But then a 6" roller fed machine won't keep up with a 9" roller fed machine. Not everyone needs to haul around a machine the size of a Bandit 1990 though. I've rarely found that my little machines restrict me because they suit the sort of work that I do. Bigger is better, but only if you need it.

 

The other week we took down a 30m poplar and it took me about half an hour to process all the brush that wasn't wanted for firewood. Not that it makes good firewood, but I wasn't going to tell that to the free wood scroungers that were swarming around it like flies around a turd!

Makes my day when they start to gather around the connie logs & good for you if you can do this with a cs. Ours was great but we soon outgrew it within months so horses for courses...whatever that means.

I'm sure they're decent, thought about getting one but preferred tow behind rather than needing a trailer, plus paid 2k for it and sold it for 2.5k!

Also how many customers want the chip? Very rarely when I ask do they want any so think it would be very limited how often it would be needed to get into a back garden?

But if you tell the customer it's a bit cheaper if they keep the chip you'll be amazed how many will

[Mark Bolam]

You mean on a £300 job you tell them it's £600, but £300 if they keep the chip?😀

Maybees, but most domestic clients want it gone, chips, logs, sawdust the lot, and you as well by the end of the day.

I'd prefer charge full price, throw it through a quick chipper and be away onto the next one than charge less ?? Work longer as chipper slower and still have a chipper to pay for
