Shredder Chippers
More than anything else, the choice of machine is governed by the size of your property, because that usually determines how much material you will have to recycle. Do you have hedges all round? Do you have lots of large trees or shrubs? Do you want to dispose of the rootballs of potted plants or the contents of old hanging baskets? Do you want to grind up the contents of an old compost heap? If so, that will influence your choice of machine.
Make sure the engine is big enough for the job. Better to have a little extra in hand than always to be struggling for power.
A larger engine or a larger model of machine will cost a little more but will do more work in a given time, with less fatigue.
Modern engines are easier to pull-start than they ever were but battery-electric start takes all the effort out of the task. It costs a little more but, if you are elderly or of small build, it is worth having.
Don't over-economise. This is a long-term investment you are thinking about!
