  2. hi all.

     

    i am thinking of upgrading my chipper, i have a cs 100 and love it, but have been asked to do more and more chipping on a bigger scale and on site and was thinking of upgrading has anybody got any thoughts on what to get, storage and money is a bit tight.

     

    has anybody got anything for sale?

     

    cheers

  3. i bought a cs 100 2 years ago from orange plant who were very helpful on %0 interest. i do gardens and arb work. i am so pleased with it, i can get it into gardens as its small enough. it will do conifer or privite.

    it really is a top machine, i can't recommend it enough.

    give me a call if you want to have a chat about it, it was a big decision for me so i know what you are thinking.

  4. Not sure where this thread is going, there are dicks who drive, walk run or cycle, we know this, but there are also people who respect others who run, cycle walk and drive, if you are on a bike, you are very vulnerable to been knocked off and killed or seriously injured. Let's all just respect other road and pavement users. The reason a big group of cyclist ride in a big group is because if they were to ride in a long line the cars would try and overtake them and then squeeze them into the side when they realise they can't get passed.

  5. Correct method is the primary position, this is left of the center of the road this is where you are most likely to be seen, when a vehicle approaches it's advised to move to secondary position about a meter from the curb but not so that you are squeezed by the driver.

     

    I ride, I teach cycling and also drive. give cyclist room and they will be curtiouse back to you, cycling isn't as dangerous as you think.

  6. This has been great reading for me , having started up just over a year ago and finding quoting for work and getting the price right the hardest bit. I Have just finished a job that I thought would take me and a mate 1 day and ended up taking us three! It rained every day with strong winds and we had to lower a lot of it. Anyhow I put it all down to experience and I have learned a lot and hope I will know better next time.

    But I do appreciate you all sharing with me as it helps us newbies

    A big to arbtalk

  7. i chuffed about for ages with a shredder, bought a cs 100 last year, i wasn't sure if i would use it enough to justify the money. i couldn't of been further from the truth i use it two to three times a week and am now able to take jobs on that i couldn't of before. its paid for itself already. i wouldn't be without it.

    go for it if you can afford to.

    orange plant had zero% last year so i went for that. the guys were really helpful.
