    I used to run a Jo beau M300 for getting into tight spaces and avoiding a long awkward drag of brash. I would say it was better in many ways than the Timberwolf 18/100G I started with years ago. It wont cope with a 4 inch branch like the TW would, but the wide throat at the bottom of the feed hopper makes it easier by far to push in bendy stems like Rohododendron and some Conifer. I only sold it as it was not being used enough now we run a couple of bigger chippers. I would certainly recommend the Jo Beau as a start up machine. Friend I sold it to is delighted with it as his first chipper. Also engine is legendary Honda reliabilty.

    Agreed re Trust Insurance. Never had to make a claim, but found them efficient and helpful. Also my premium has stayed the same for ages ? no claims discount, although they never actually refer to this. I have other policies with NFU, eg domestic + my commercial vehicles and machinery. I rate them highly, they can cover for arb work, but were more expensive than Trust, so I stuck with them.
