Honestly this might be the easiest option...

Bit of volume reduction, easier to 'hoover' up the residuals, cheap to buy or sharpen a blade that hits a bit of gravel etc, and you can get it down the back garden without a drag etc.

Yeah - my only worry with the 13/75 is will it cope with forkfuls of (e.g) beech hedge clippings chucked in it? I’ve had not wonderful experiences with larger rowed chippers with this sort of stuff. A shredder with hammers isn’t going to have that problem...

Rowed? TOWED!

Dinan, technically Lanvalley down by the port. 

A long narrow garden whose access was via a slippery alleyway and half a dozen granite steps.

The budget Chinesium chippette has 2 days to chew through thuya hedging, bay laurels, blue cypress, apple watershoots and what ever else the client points her purse at.

The weird cutting out issue traced to a badly wired stop switch and the safety switch (now disabled) on the folding infeed.

The one way street has a junction to the left of the bollard and further bollards making the parking of a truck and chipper plus pile of brash without first seeking permission from the town hall a logistical nightmare as it is also a mini-bus route with larger delivery trucks passing.

 So Chinesium Chippette was the way forward. 

We put 3 hours to the tenth of an hour on it today and feel rather exhausted.

It is a Protosser accessory.

Clips in the back of the helmet and prevents merde from dropping down your neck.

Very usefull for preventing climbers scat thrown from above from hitting my neck when working with Luckyeleven.

He often rages and rants in the tree, like a rabid howler monkey especially on Fridays around 3pm.

 True that.

Quick question. We have quite a large small holding, with large volumes of material to be composted. I think that a lot of this needs shredding rather than chipping - the material is likely to be largely of the consistency of hedge clippings and the like. Anything larger than about an inch in diameter is likely to be processed as kindling or logs.

Does anyone have much experience of processing this sort of stuff? Would a chipper shredder (with hammers) of this type be any good, or actually am I going to be better with a good chipper?

For hedge clippings etc, assuming you're not in a mad rush for the compost, just compost them as they are, they will rot down in a year or two, especially if you can mix up the pile with a loader/digger and other materials.

My JoBeau is poor on hedge trimmings, it doesn't blow much but rather the momentum of the wood chips being thrown out of the drum carries the leaves with it. Material needs to be woody so bigger hedge cuttings say 10mm diameter and up will go ok.

You are maybe better with a shredder for the really green stuff. I just dump it as green waste, not tried one of those machines.

Hi
Maybe for a millions time I am considering of buying a chipper. I have looked haecksler 4 and I think that would be great for our job. But it looks almost identical to other Chinese chippers but have pricetag 3X of others. I have used one cheap chinese chipper and it was terrified but it also was rental and prety bad condition. Just thinkin is haecksler really worth of extra money because you can get example Jansen 1500 about half of that.

Hello, our Haecksler chippers are entirely built in Europe. 

 

Except for the engines that come from Honda or Briggs. The difference with the Chinese machines is, in addition to the higher price for labor, also in the highest quality parts that we mount on our machines. Also a strong frame and a precise construction is what makes these chippers work so well.  

Ps. I did not take the time yet to announce this on Arbtalk but we have launched our newly designed Haecksler 4. Here 's a picture!
