Small chipper suggestions

[Hairyloon]

I've been thinking about getting a small chipper, and I am wondering if such a thing exists as I cannot find one.

 

I am looking for the biggest I can find that is man portable: ie you can wheel it through a doorway into those rear gardens that have no proper access.

The only things I can find in that sort of size are chipper/shredders: like this (random example) on eBay: NEW 13 HP PETROL GARDEN CHIPPER SHREDDER WOOD MULCHER on eBay (end time 08-Nov-09 21:18:28 GMT).

I have hired something similar and found the shredder part of it to be a waste of time.

Also, all the ones I've seen dump the chips out of the bottom, so block up as soon as anything.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

There are 3 main makes

timber wolf, Greenmech & Jo Beau

 

They all take about the same size bits Hire them and make up your own mind

SWB has one Andy has one of the others each like their own machine

 

Like most things it is a personal thing and also Back up service and distance to dealer

From what I can gather, the Greenmec is a fair bit better than the Timberwolf, and a fair bit cheaper than the Jo Beau.

 

I'm a little puzzled why they are 4-5 times the price of that thing on eBay. I can see they are 4 or 5 times better (probably more), but I don't really see 4-5 times as much engineering. :?
