Shredder Recommendations

To shred larger material, or very large quantities, one needs a proper horticultural model. The cheap machines that claim to do the job almost invariably have a lot of problems, but the ones that don't are both very expensive and usually very large. But that is all second-hand information. I agree. When a neighbour with a chainsaw helped me take 6' off a hawthorn hedge, I hired the biggest chipper the hire shop had - it was one level down from a tree surgeon's machine, but had powered feed. I ran it flat out for 5 days and burnt about 6 gallons of petrol. However now the war has been won, I might be interested in one of the Bosch cog-crusher types for ad hoc pruning. The problem I see is the domestic devices all have very tight throats for safety reasons so sticking hawthorn in would be a non starter - or any bushy material - but long thick twigs like ash would probably work very well. |
