    Chipper : PERUZZO TB 100 LOW HOURS : 40.1 hours from new. Fully serviced. 10 cm chipping diameter, 2 hardened reversible chipping blades. Infeed chute with drum design to pull material into the chipper. Chipper driven by a 18 hp, 12v battery electric key start Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 4 Stroke engine, with pull cord back-up. Direction adjustable detachable discharge chute. Chipper drum driven by twin drive belts with a centrifugal clutch to protect the engine from stress. This is a very powerful machine, if you forget to aim the output chute at your trailer, expect to be sweeping up chip from 30 feet away! Mounted on a highly manoeuvrable and steerable, self-propelled narrow tracked base 64 cm wide) for easy loading/unloading and moving over rough and steep ground (your back will thank you). 3 belt driven forward gears and one reverse gear – no hydraulics to go wrong. Tracked base is powered by a separate Briggs and Stratton 4 stroke pull start engine and gearbox. The main chipper unit is detachable from the main tracked part of the unit by four bolts. A Tipper body unit (**NOT INCLUDED**) with/without a hydraulic ram is available from the UK importers, and can carry up to 350 kg. The blades are easily changed – NOT by removing the output chute and sticking your hands into the drum housing(!!) – instead, the whole drum assembly easily slides out (I will explain to the buyer how this works). Comes with blade set up shims, spacers and a large bag of new blade bolts. Ideal for small/one person landscaping/gardening. The narrow access means it can pass through most side/garden gates and you can chip directly back in-situ if the customer wants to keep the chip. Prior to this I had a Greenmech CS100 - which is an identical machine, but not on tracks. I bought this just before covid for my part time domestic tree/gardening business but I’m retiring from tree work now. It has had very little use and is in perfect working order. Any viewings will be at my home address. I will need to see verifiable proof of identity/business before any visit - verified fb page, business web site, VAT registration or photo ID. Mine is a bona fide VAT registered business and I will provide my VAT number to any potential purchaser as part of due diligence. Payment will be by invoice and bank transfer. I'd prefer not to take cash, but will if requested to do so. I will issue a VAT receipt and transfer of ownership note to the purchaser. If you wish to buy sight unseen, I will warrant that the description I have provided is accurate to the best of my belief and I will accept a 10% deposit to secure (via invoice) with the balance to be paid before collection and within 7 days. The deposit is non-refundable if you withdraw, or fail to pay the balance on time, for any reason other than a materially significant fault or error in the description. I will take any purchaser through a detailed briefing on maintenance and usage of both chipper and trailer. The engines have their own printed instructions. The chipper unit instructions are on line (https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1724988/Peruzzo-Tb100.html#manual) Any questions or to arrange a viewing please contact me via email in the first instance: [email protected], or via messenger. Price Includes VAT @ 20% Location: South Tyneside

  2. I think the difference is with windblown they don't go through the public consultation or site visit phases - it's just a desk assessment.
  3. We have had a TB100 for 3 years. Powerful, goes anywhere, uphill and down dale, eats anything. Can detach the chipper body and attach a barrow - although we have a custom made welded log cradle. Will self power up ramps into the trailer. The height of the hopper has never been an issue, it's gravity fed so needs to be designed for safety so you can't reach the blades by hand to clear blockages. The self powered tracks mean more jobs can be done single handed. Touch narrower than our old CS100. We wouldn't part with it. If it exploded tomorrow I'd have bought another by the end of the day.
  4. Just an update. We spoke to the local conservator, who was very helpful. They have their hands full at the minute, and are fast tracking windblow applications. We just needed to agree restocking policy and submit the Permission request. They turned it round in 24 hours and we are good to go. 3 years to clear the windblow and replant. Thanks for the input.👍
  5. Yes. The attached letter in this link shows how seriously SF take it these days. It's worth getting right. SF Letter
  6. Thanks for the insight guys, I will of course be checking with SF. Scotland does have its own rules, and the 5 cube is per owner, not per site. We are only looking at 40-50 Sitka out of several thousand on a 4 Ha site. Seems daft to have to apply for permission for such a small number of trees. But the guidance says 'clearance of wind-blow requires felling permission' but then also 'Five cubic metres per quarter exemption maintained'. Thinking about it, it is an exception to needing permission, of course. I could clear the 15 to 20 cube by hand over a year or so, if I wanted to hire in a small harvester operator and get it done in a day then I suppose I would need to apply for permission - which doesn't bother me, but the inevitable restock clause would be a pain 🙄 Daft really.
  7. One for my Scottish colleagues. In April 2019 the Scottish Forestry rules changed so that wind-throw was no longer exempt from needing a felling licence. "• Dead trees are exempt but clearance of windblow requires felling permission" However, the 5 cubic metre per quarter exemption from needing a felling licence also still applies - but which takes precedence? If something is wind-throw is it no longer exempt from needing a licence, even if it is less than 5 cubic metres? Or can you still remove wind-throw as long as you stay within the five cubic metres per quarter exemption? Thanks.
  8. You can remove the chipper body leaving the tracked section. I made a log cradle for mine so now we have a tracked barrow as well.
  9. Great pics - very atmospheric with the snow! Wouldn't get a cs100 in there!
  10. I've had a close look at that thread it's a great idea and one I have considered. I think the bottom structure of the cs100 would make it too high and top heavy on a tracked Barrow arrangement. The peruzzo is a different chipper design than the cs100 although they look similar at first glance. I think it has been designed so that the centre of gravity sits very low.
  11. Can I ask any of you guys with a peruzzo - how has the engine which powers the tracks been? Any starting or reliability issues? and is there a facility to put it into neutral and move it by hand/winch as a back-up? I have a CS100 and seriously thinking of changing it. Doing much more rough ground and less domestic work now but still need something small. Cheers.
  12. Any ideas? Got me stumped, thought willow at first? Thanks.
  13. I'm resurrecting this thread to ask how everyone got on? It's nearly a year and I haven't smoked since. I didn't use any vaping or other replacement therapies. Fair to say it was hard and very unpleasant indeed for quite a long time but they are well and truly out of my system and my mind now. Can't ever see me going back. How did others do?
  14. As above. When it's been stood for a week or so on starting at low revs it hunts and surges, and is a bit smokey. This goes away once it warms up. Only got 30-40 hours under it's belt. Any ideas? Was going to ask the Greenmech guys about it at the APF. Cheers.
