the attachment is a pic of typically what everyone is up to with conifer reduction and wouldn't mind something to handle this type of work quicker

My cs100 is working fine, I took an interest in the Jo Beau M500 at the show and thought it to be a fine, well thought out chipper. Is the M500 the next step up in productivity to the CS100, Is it indeed the biggest Wee Chipper in the class? or should I concentrating on a hydraulic feeder machine to cut out the snedding/stacking time needed when a CS is your main chipper?
-
Thanks for all the reply's chaps, the main reason for the idea did come from a mog type set up, however I have a luton type back on my hicap and wondered if I could utilise this area to "slide in slide out", connect up and fire the chip into my tipping 3.5t trailer. I run a cs100 set up and REALLY want hydraulic feeders to take the strain. If its not a realistic option then it looks like im going to have to have a vehicle change at some point and I didn't want that Heres a pic of the back but as already voiced, access and space maybe issues too far, could always unhitch?

well good advice, if It were me id go for a transit single cab tipper with a tool box with shutter doors behind the cab, tidy back box, made as light as poss and then a decent road tow 9"+ chipper. I bought a 110 for your top end and have spent a fortune after. I opened the door this afternoon (not been out in it today), my boots are soaking where the rains come through the brand new door seals. crape. Happy days
-
Cheers Markieg31, crape idea lol
-
To fit a hydraulic 6+" chipper to the front or back to a 110 landy. Is this really achievable? Or just stick one on a tractor? What does anyone think? Thanks in advance
-
I went to view one at my local dealer, I thought that the head was really bulky in comparison to the petrol variant, so I didn't invest, still wondering what to do like you, will keep an eye on this post thanks welwell

24" for my 576xpg with a 8 pin drive sprocket and a large air box fitted to try and dial out the bogginess that blights this chuffing saw. The 25" bar had noticeable slower chain speed on a normal 7 pin sprocket, so much so that I went and bought an 18" to see what the difference was... Hope this helps you
-
nice, Id like to see where my new dolly comes in a race with those two saws
-
I have a w reg landy and if I could have afforded a newer one, not been scared of buying into a shiny leak free thing then I would. All the money you spend in up keep, down time, IMO, is simply not worth it. You get to look at your business rsther than being constantly I it re sorting out knackered old parts which should be doing a job but all they do is fall off and cost you money. Old lanys an anagram for "buy newer Japanese....lol, god I wish I could

Hi Jon, you had an 880, is it better than 395 for general big stuff or would you just have an 880 for milling? All the best
-
I was in the same boat as you. Ask Shavey about the dolmar. It handles really well, nice balance and feel and rips through so well. I bought a 9010 and am well pleased. Ask him for a demo, very nice chap, he will sort you out no problem all the best
-
550xpg for warmth..... then hope the 261 is fixed now lol
-
I started off with a Stihl ms 290, great saw, bit heavy for starters I know think. Try one that feels the best in your hands, something nice and light so you will find it easier to stick it where you want to! ms 241 ms 201 rear handle, or something which maybe cheaper, one of the entry husky saws 40cc+. If I started again I wouldn't go with an all rounder as when you get more into it you start picking up saws for the specific jobs you get. Enjoy good luck

:thumbup:Thanks Andrew, fired it up just before it went dark. It has a bark and once warm its response is good, spinning up quickly. It seems light at the back sending its weight forward but balance is good and doesn't feel as nose heavy as my mates 660 with a similar bar size on. Side covers are metal, not what I am used to, gives a Tonka toy aspect to it like its going to last!!! Roll on happy days:biggrin: Big thanks again to Andrew for all you did in sorting this for me and Rob D/Lawrence for sorting the bar chain combo. I would recommend them to all here:thumbup:
-
Spud,I hope this is the best place to ask? Ive just been reading about the work done on a ms150 in another thread and the thought crossed my mind to ask you if you can do something similar to my t435? All the best Nathan
-
Hi Jon, Im sorry got no idea but griff at tyseley 4x4 will tell you if you give him a ring! cheers
-
yes your right, I can see now its light, solid rears groved and drilled:thumbup1:
-
lol no, the last owners never really changed the discs for years just pads so when Griff came to take the discs off with the hammer the disc sheared off the middle bit!!!!! They were changed as I kept on moaning that I was having to stand on the brakes to stop, especially with the trailer on at 6-7 tonne
-
Drilled and vented all round Jon:thumbup:
-
Hi Jon, Ive just had vented discs all round, Don't ask me what make they are, as wejust wanted "uprated brakes". Griff at Tyseley 4x4 in birmingham sorts my truck out as and when. Very accommodating, give him a bell on 0121 7067362. If you give him my name he will be able to let you know what he did. All the best Nathan
-
Try Ian Morgan Arb. On their website is a live diary with courses and how many are booked on it. Give them a call, they are good guys there. Good luck
-

<p>All the best </p>
