Does anyone know where to get a really strong Chipper from - I do lots of pruning and like to mulch the result - the green stuff gets chopped up with my mower but I want something a bit stronger for the woody stuff. To tell you the truth I'd really like one of those giant ones on the back of the council trucks that chop up tree prunings - but thats a bit over the top !!! Most of the regular ones are too flimsy.
The best advice I can give is not to buy a cheap one.
There are plenty on the market, usually electric, under $350 and claim to do everything.
A decent chipper/shredder will cost you around $700-$1,500 and have two or four stroke engines to drive them.
You best bet is to type 'Plant Shredder/Chipper' into Google, then select the 'Shopping' tab which will give you a selection including photo and prices. Its a little known feature of Google, yet very useful.
However you can also just hire them which is a good solution if you have a big project, then you can do it all in one go.
Below is a regular garden shredder from Kennards Hire.
