Thanks for that - from which I found the AL-KO 4000:

That actually looks like it might work...

Also in the £500 range though...

Another vote here for Al-ko; we bought their Silent Power 4000 several
years ago and it's still going strong. Will chomp through branches up to
40mm diameter or so in no time flat - you can soon get rid of enormous
piles of hedge trimmings and other prunings. It's certainly more than
earned its keep - the best bit of kit we ever bought for the garden,
afaic, and was well worth every penny. I'd definitely get another
whenever this one finally does give up the ghost.

For some time I have had, and been very pleased with, an Alko
SP5000, cog type. It has recently needed the capacitor replacing,
but that was reasonably easy and inexpensive.

I suppose the only other alternative is to burn them, does holly burn well ?

Very well but with some smoke.
