When you compare different makes of machines, be careful, as some manufacturers rate their capacity by the size of the opening, which is misleading. Through a 75mm opening you can practically feed only a 50mm branch
If you own a larger property of one to ten acres with lots of trees, flowers and vegetable garden, you will find the average type shredder on the market in the 2 to 5 HP range is simply not satisfactory for processing all your prunings, trimmings and clean up material into compost or mulch. They cannot cope with the volume of materials to be processed. They are too slow, the inlets are often too small so that the material has to be precut before you feed it into the machine, or they are too lightly built.
No precutting is necessary and branches flow into the machine by themselves . The cutting blades shear the material against an adjustable hardened counterknife, or anvil. This action will work just as efficiently in 10 years' time as on the first day, provided the knives are kept sharp. The machine contains no plastic components - we have tried them and they do not last.
