  1. Hey up folks, i thought this is worth a share. Ive always found it difficult to secure loads within the trailer, without butting up against the headboard or ladder rack. Particularly with an IW LM106 @6ft 6 If theres no gap under the dropside it gets a bit tricky and at best it’s a juggling act. My old ifor eurolight was great as your could close the dropside with a strap hook under the edge of the bed. That annoying lip on Ifors is a serious pain. Got an IforWill TIpper105 as my ‘forever trailer’😀so been thinking about this for while, a beam or bracket which locks in to the shape of the bed without any adjustment which would affect resale value. I also wanted something which speeded up loading as strapping the cs100 can be a nightmare with no load loops and its a crying shame if the powder coat gets scratched. I only do a few jobs so chipper cant stay loaded. Options were either a bracket the chipper rolls/slots into or a custom set of hold downs for a single strap. Finally got a bit of time to make this beam and its mostly geared towards a wee chipper in my case Greenmech CS100. So basic principle is fitting the beam ends into the dropside midway posts. Channel section i used is 2mm folded from an industrial greenhouse scrap i picked up years ago. Then an 8mm hole though the trailer post drilled through to retain the beam against the floor so it doesn’t skip out over the 50x30 section which goes into the bed pocket. Took off galvanising with distilled vinegar from tesco 29p a pint, took two days. Welding galv is terrible and harmful so well worth this step on thin sections to avoid grinding and losing material. Using material which has enough depth to act as a solid wheel chock then a single strap holds it rock solid against the chock and tyres take up the tightening straps nicely. Only area i’ll have to watch is the belt cover which the strap rides against. May think about domething to deflect that? Your probably be best using 50/50box as 50mm is the dimension of the trailer post so easy to pick up with side plates welded or bolted to make an easier task for DIY, I used channel as i needed access to back of it and before adding the flatbar the 50/50 option seemed like over kill. I struggled for a while to come up with the tie down points method as this channel is 80mm wide but floor cargo loops don't fit. In the end i drilled some 4mm thick by 40mm flat bar with 12mm holes to accept M12 eye bolts and picked these up against the channel after transfering pilot holes. Eventually i’ll weld on nuts to the mild steel bar but not sure its finalised yet and worried about holes if i galvanise it. Currently just fixed in with M12 nuts which works but adjustment is a little awkward. This beam will also be a future anchor point for a load/chip partition able to be adjusted so i put a load of holes in to allow different sizes which will match a bar i add to the ladder rack if i go that far. Future points will be a winch as tipper bed is quite high and 8ft ramps is a struggle pushing, so i can use shorter homemade ramps as current ones are an absolute ton (60-65 kg each). Getting hollow plank extended sides sorted as money comes in😮‍💨 Btw, cost so far is zero bought as had all this kicking round but eye bolts are literally a couple of quid if you’ve got steel kicking round its a cheap build. And with 50 box it’d probably be fine with tech screws if you’ve no welder. this is a great forum so more than happy to share and pointers and thoughts welcome. ciao for now Mikey
  2. FullSizeRender.MOV IMG_0244.MOV Hi folks a while ago my CS100 was getting bogged down and cutting out, so changed the filter below the tank as fuel wasn’t free flowing. At it again but its hunting now at higher throttle. Im sure i heard that these sometimes do that but most guidance says the governor should hold it steady even under load. Any thoughts I’m thinking this is just a carb strip clean out jets to sort this? Any pointers gratefully appreciated. cheers God Save the King!
  3. Evening all, My little cs100 is suffering from a real lack of power (even compared to normal) It was out on a job 2 days ago and performed admirably. Now it has very little power and blocks/stalls on branches that would normally pose little problem. Fuel is the same as before so Im sure thats OK. Anvil gap is a touch on the large side but has been for a while. It starts up fine. Air filter seems ok. Any ideas where to start trouble shooting? @Jase hutch
  4. Hi Im looking getting a small chipper. I mostly do garden work and some tree work but don't want to get a tow behind chipper so made up my mind that i want one of these two. I was set on getting the cs100 until i found the bandit 490. Iv not used ether of the machines and was wondering if there was any one around 1hr of frome in somerset that would take me on for a cheap days groundie work where i could have a go with one of them. Or would be willing to let me have a go with one on a weekend. Thanks Tim
  5. Hi, I've been looking at the small greenmech 4" chippers for a while now, as I can't justify the cost of a bigger unit (I'm scrapping a business along on a Scottish island, mixing tree work with gardening and anything else that comes my way). Does anyone have any experience of these machines, if so, are they ok for what they are? On Youtube, the best video I've found looks fiddly but ok, but then it's chipping lime, which is about as soft as you get! It's worth bearing in mind that I'm really after the chip for use on gardens, and hopefully a better option for getting rid of brash than loading a farmers trailer and brashing it down with a saw for him to do whatever he does with it.
  6. I am trying to get hold of a Jo beau m300. I have a previous thread saying I am also looking out for the greenmech cs100. Wondered if anyone had either for sale. Wanna be in the wee chipper club. Think I am leaning toward the Jo beau. Sorry stevie have read all of you posts on Gloria!!! And there are a few Cash waiting any distance as long as the machine is in good working order Thanks guys
  7. Hi I have recently been finding my own work on weekends, great. But as I have no chipper I have to hire one from chippertech in old Newton suffolfk. Daniel there does me a great deal but I just can't put this cost on to a little local job where a chipper is needed. The customer will not pay the sort of money I need to charge. And as we all know they will not wait till I can string a few small ones together One solution is to buy a hydrolic chipper, but my budget will not cater for a half decent one. The other my favoured option is to get a cs100 and when a big job comes in hire one from Daniel@chipper tech Thoughts and offers of cs100's please.
