I take the point about the high demands placed on chipper blades but I’m thinking that on a chipper of this ilk, they probably weren’t the best of the best to start with
-
I'll get in touch with him, thank you!
-
Unfortunately these are different……I think that they may be incorrectly listed. when I bought the machine I also bought 5 sets of spare blades thinking that these would see the machine out, so I have 5 unused sets of the above!! (My fault that I didn’t check them at the time, which was a couple of years ago). if the above blades are any use to anyone let me know😀 Thanks for the advice people
-
This sounds like a good option..... I did contact rotatech about having some blades made but the minimum order quanty pushes the price up to far more than the chipper is worth. Any reccomendations for other firms to try? many thanks
-
i had to blowtorch most the bolts to get the blades off so I think I'll have ruined the hardening on the blades, also had to grind a slot to get one of them out so overall blades are pretty knackered! I'm just waiting to hear from them. thanks for the help chaps
-
Evening all, wondering if anyone could help me source some blades for a "black tools" chipper ? I thought it was a generic Chinese chipper but the blades are a different size to any that I can find (270mmx58mmx9mm) many thanks
-
thanks for the tip stewmo (I'm going to need some since I accidentally chucked my silky through it......)
-
quite right - apologies doobin - my mistake !! (actually I think its my laptop's autocorrect, but I'll take the blame 😀) many thanks for your help on the blades

Morning All, I'm after a large quantity of chip to mulch around some whips and hedge that I'm trying to get established. Location is just outside Cockermouth (Esps Farm on the tip site directory). I'd be happy for either a large bulk delivery(obviously happy to pay) or regular drops offs many thanks, Andy
-
thanks dobbin - so spare blades are easy enough to get? can I as which dealer you get yours from please?
-
Please can an I as those of you who are running the lower budget Chinese made chippers a question? (such as Rock machinery/sinolink/crytec/lumag/hyundai machines) what do you do for spare blades? or are they a close enough copy of the CS100 to use those blades? many thanks
-
peds - thanks you for reporting back - a lot of the stuff I would need to chip is actually hawthorn, so you have done me a huge favour - is it the shape of the hawthorn that makes it such a problem or the "hardness"/texture of it? Its a shame, because we really could have done with the mulch for our veg patch! thanks again, Andy
-
Thanks for the info Peds - sounds as though you're using it in a similar way/intensity to what I'm planning - not really "commercial" scale use but I've got quite a bit of my own stuff to do and wanted to use it to mulch around the veg patch, I'm not often going to be moving it that far, so I might just give one a go thanks again, Andy
-
@peds Hi Peds, have you put any more time on you're little blue chipper yet - looks like the sort of thing that I could do with so just wondering how its going?
-
Hi Openspaceman - just seen your reply, thank you very much for your insight, I'll give it a go. Andy

Hello and happy new year to you all. Later in the year I'm hoping to remove ivy from a hedgerow that's become swamped in order to replant with hawthorn. My plan was to cut and stump treat the thickest of the ivy stalks/trunks with glyphosphate but Ive heard a few reports of the glyphosate exuding from the roots of the ivy and killing the trees that the ivy was growing on - there are quite a few field maple and ash trees in with the hedge that I don't want to kill. Am I worrying about nowt or is there a different stump treatment that I can use? many thanks chaps
-
clean wood chip please, many thanks
-
thanks to all of you for the advice and opinions. If it were my tree I'd follow Gary's advice and hope to keep the tree going for a while longer, however I think that sepia might be right. So hopefully we can do nothing! thanks again

Morning to all, I'm be grateful for some advice on this oak please. As you can see from the picture this oak is struggling a bit (quite a lot!) The farmer is thinking about removing it, I was wondering if it would be worth removing the dead wood in the hope of this improving the tree's health.....or is it time for it to go? There are several healthy trees nearby but the area around this one's trunk is often waterlogged, I think the water troughs at its base leak - I was wondering if this could be the cause Many thanks in advance for any advice
