Hi, I am struggling to understand how you use this? What do use as an anchor point for lowering the chipper out of the trailer / hoisting? I have a CS100 and can't get it off and on the trailer alone.. Any advice greatfully received

Thanks for the reply..

Is there a recommended engine oil for the CS100?

Thanks

Thanks for the advice guys.. Really appreciate the responses.

CS 100 question

I'm about to purchase the CS100 (a big deal for me, can't afford to get this wrong). I've read the wee chipper threads.

I'm working as a small scale Arborist and trying not to take on big jobs anymore.

My question is about capacity (not diameter of wood). How will the chipper cope with a medium size tree e.g. Ash, Sycamore, Beach etc. Will it cope with the volume and capacity and how much longer will I spend on a job? Let's say the job would normally be 1 day (2 people)...

Thanks very much

Just about to purchase an Ifor Williams P6E (6x4) with extended mesh sides and was wondering how I would secure the CS100 in the trailer during transport. It doesn't look like it will be secure from falling over?

Thanks

Hi Tim, I'm in the process of buying a CS100 and was looking at loading in and out of my van. Was worried about the weight and loading. Could you tell me which winch you bought please and how it's mounted. Obviously your post is a little old so any changes in your views on the CS 100? Thanks very much.

Thanks for the help folks - some food for thought and a bit more deliberation..

Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply. How do you find that size chipper? Does it work for most jobs? Diameter of brash is about 4' I think?

Looking for a solution to a problem with vehicles (as I drive a box van for a different business).. Does anyone tow a trailer with a chipper (combined) then chip into the trailer? If so what size trailer & chipper / problems?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Ultra Os on order..

Thanks for the reply. I'll check which ovals I'm using as they may be too big. Getting a biner through the rubber part of the zig zag is also mega tight (although it's never cross loaded). Cheers

What are people using as I've had a couple of occaions when my oval cross loaded on the zig zag (harness attachement hole).

I'm looking to get back into tree work after a 9 year ish break. (been doing other stuff). I'm reasonably well qualified and have a few years experience. Are there any "refresher" type courses that would get me back up to speed in most aspects of the industry?

Climbing seems to have moved more to SRT than DRT but the work does not seem to have changed much (scientifically).

I live and work in North Cornwall.

Advice gratefully received.
