I am looking for recommendations for a good quality shredder : brand,
suppliers, advice on what spec. It has to be mobile, so I assume that
means a petrol engine.

We have recently changed our 19 year old Alco which although noisy and slow
gave good service, we would have bought the same again but they now no
longer make them the same, most lower priced electric shredders seem to have
only one set of blades (which means they jam often) and outlets so close to
the ground that you can get nothing under for collection.
We ended up buying a bosch 2200 for around £320, best move we have ever made
(despite being double what I had hoped to pay!) it has a slow rotating drum
with teeth and you do not have to push stuff in it just takes it, anything
that will go through the 2" slot is chopped up and unlike its predecessor it
has no dislikes! plus if it jams you just reverse the direction, its quiet
and gets through the work quicker even though it looks slower.
check it out before you buy
