I'd hoped to get a shredder that would take leaves and by mincing them

to one year like regular compost, but even 2 years would be helpful.

I'm not sure about using a shredder for for leaves, wouldn't the inlet on
them be too small? I use a leaf blower/vacumn to reduce leaf volume which
works really well, I just drop it on the floor and feed them into it.
Useless for prunings of course.
