Looking for a chipper/shredder. Need to cope with at least 40mm. Any makes to steer clear of?

TIA, Ian.

all - the ones i've seen aren't that good.

I got a cheap one and its not really worth it, i've talked to others and they've said the same. One person did say changing the blade (which cost a fortune compared to a new shredder) made a huge amount of difference.

That will be one serious chipper to do that size. I borrowed a small B&D one once but found it was too slow for serious qty's. It was quite small tho and at a guess would struggle over 15 - 20mm.

Can you hire a big one?

if you weren't in dorset, i know of one you could borrow, with a 6hp petrol engine.

more power! grrruhhuhhuhhhuhh

In my shredder, it's really easy to remove the blades and sharpen them on the grinder.

Alko, I think it is...

Always liked the Bosch ones that crush the cuttings between two large cogs. When blocked they simply reverse themselves and try again.

Very good equipment IMHO.

Cheers
