I am very satisfied, I bought a powerful shredder for my country house. Which "one left" cuts bushes and tree branches into chips. The diameter is "the thickness of an adult's hand." And this is about 40 mm.
The need for this apparatus arose due to the presence of many branches from two felled apple trees and bushes. And also, after cutting the willow.
The simplest thing is to buy a store sample, but you need to understand. That a beautiful shell does not mean that it will cope with large branches. The joy of buying such a device will quickly fade away. In the photo you see a sample for 15,000 rubles. If you read the reviews for such devices, then mostly disappointments.
If there are many branches on your site, then you can hire specials. technique. An hour of work of a tractor with a chopper from 1,500 rubles, we have. But after seeing how they cleared the site for a long time, I figured that it would take 4 hours for my mountain of branches, and this is already 6,000 rubles. Not bad. At the same time, the chips are very large. Neither is it suitable for scattering around the site.
Therefore, this technique was prescribed for me, a trial produced at a local enterprise.
Construction of wood chip cutter, garden shredder.
Its motor is 2.2 kW. That's enough to spin a heavy two-knife flywheel and keep the rpm. In addition, this power allows you not to overload the network with a voltage of 220 volts. The factory-made start and stop button is conveniently located above the engine.
The most important thing in this apparatus is safety. Receiving neck with a diameter of 57 mm. That does not allow to tighten the brush of an adult man. With careless handling.
How much do you think this unit costs with its weight of 35 - 40 kg. Perhaps, after the completion of the work, I will sell it. But I like him so much that I already doubt it. And here is a video about his work:
