I am in the middle of designing my own chip box to fit onto the existing tub of a double cab pick up. It's just for small jobs so it doesn't need to tip I'll just unload by hand. I have some 3mm Ali checker plate for the sides and front and rear, I was thinking of making the adjustable angled roof out of mesh to let the air flow from the chipper flow through without causing loads of blow back. Are there any things to be aware of as I am sure there will be people who have built their own chip box themselves and have a few tips and pointers to share? Thank you in advanced! Andrew

Hello cs100 owners I am on the verge of buying a ex demo model as there is a bit of a wait for new ones. Please can someone do me a favour and measure the track of the wheels as I have found an old road roller trailer which might work to transport it. Cheers in advanced! Andrew - orchard

The mewp is coming over from your neck of the woods he said he has a wind meter which he uses on the top of the basket. If it's too windy no worky!!! Fine by me! Safety first! :-)

Sorry Paul, I am agonisingly waiting for the council to ok some crown reduction work. Once I get the go ahead you gonna come over for a day?

I am not a fan they make my hands all sweaty!! Up here in sunny cumbria trees are generally wet, so within 30 mins of working the gloves are the same. Nothing dries as quick as your skin!!

For me it would be a timberwolf 230, A toyota hilux tipper with integrated tool storage, an ifor tipper when we needed to chip loads and for wood/logs and a tracked mewp with its own trailer. Maybe a vw transporter 4 motion as a second towing vehicle. Probably £100k worth so not too bad!!!!
-
I agree with that, keeping the work coming in steady is the tricky bit! Hopefully the dominos will continue to drop over for you as it seems like a right good team your in with! Enjoy the walk! :-)
