Powerful but not too huge. Mobile but heavy. Gas.
I am finally deep enough into geezer mode to buy a chipper/shredder to feed the compost pile. 2" branches, leaves, watermelons, sun dried carcasses, etc - mechanically reduce and then nicely rot. Brands? Ideas? _________________ Why does the Penguin in Batman sound like a duck? Because the eagle sounds like a hawk. |

We had a Sears 5hp model with two feed system and I would not recommend anything under 5 horsepower. It was a gutless wonder.

My tiller is 8hp, for example, Mower 25hp, something about 11-13Hp?? _________________ Why does the Penguin in Batman sound like a duck? Because the eagle sounds like a hawk. |

I would guess so...we have not purchased an upgrade chipper, so I cannot lend any advice on what it would take to gobble the rest of the bamboo in our GREEN HELL.

I can't be the only one who thought of this immediately on seeing Pablo's post?

I’ve got a John Deere that I don’t use. Don’t remember what model or hp. I’ll let you know.

Renting is always an option.
DR Power attachment for my field/brush mower is tempting. 3 point mount attachment for my tractor is an option. As much as I expect to use a chipper it's still hard to justify the cost or ownership versus renting. _________________ “The Democrats are playing you for a political chump and if you vote for them, not only are you a chump, you are a traitor to your race.”-Malcolm X |
