10:23:17 shredder:

I need to buy a garden shredder, it has to be quiet , strong & reliable, any
recomendations would be greatfully received..... thanks


Have look at the Bosch AXT 2200W. I don't think you'll regret it.

We have been using a Viking 350 shredder for about five years now. It is
a top loading Stihl machine with rotating blades driven by a 5bhp Briggs
and Stratton petrol engine. It is very effective for the job it does,
but it tends to require a lot of attention and is something of a gas
guzzler. A large proportion of the work it does is ex-tree surgery
brushwood which is too large to be composted and too small for Rayburn
fuel. The shreddings are used for mulching, composting and path work.
The shredder also handles softer materials such as Brussels sprout and
Jerusalem artichoke stems, prunings etc., the shreddings from which can
be added to compost heaps. In a very large garden like ours with many
trees, it is an almost indispensable asset.
