Transporting Greentech CS100 chipper

[morten]

I am transporting my Greenmech CA100 chipper on a trailer between jobs. Currently, I tie the chipper down on its wheels using ratchet straps. But due to the softness of the wheels, the chipper moves a little, and it doesn't feel solidly tied down. I have also added a set of front wheels to ease transportation and getting the chipper onto the trailer via a set of ramps, which doesn't add any stability.

 

And now to my question: when replacing the knives (removing the drum) the CS100 is tilted down to rest on the infeed chute. Is it ok to also tilt the chipper onto the infeed chute during transportation (up to a few hours)? It would make it easier to tie down the chipper, making certain that it does not move about

on the trailer. The manual does not stipulate any restrictions, but the question is really how happy the engine is being tilted 30 degrees.

 

Any feedback is appreciated
