Hi Pete, just seen your message.

Ok, i went timberwolf 13g. Its Friggin great for staight and straightish branches at a great price, with loads of em second hand, cant fault it. It says 3" but i abuse the living daylights out of it, and it will take up to approx 5 though 3 is about right for hardwood, 5 is about the diameter of the hole, albeit you have to pull it back a bit.

I rented out a jo beau m300 and was really disappointed in the diameter. When that says 3" it really does mean it because it doesnt have a flywheel to speak of, and when it got jammed up it was a bitch to sort out. Have to say it was very beaten up when i got it though.

If i was going to get another better one id check out the greenmech and m500 if i wanted it to do branches, or an eliet prof with optional feed roller (I havent seen one in action mind) if it was for hedge trimmings. guys at timberwolf factory were speaking highly of jo beau so i could have had an internally damaged one.
