Cheers John. This is a concern for me with the cheaper models is that you can't just seem to throw the waste in and let it do it's thing, there always seems to be some fiddling to get the branches in or unblocking the chutes, which takes up too much time. That being said, when I've hired in the big chippers, it's a nice respite to take a few minutes 'break' and throw some green stuff in the chippers.
I want to convince more of my clients to compost a lot of their waste so we can mulch the beds and hedges and with some well chipped product it doesn't take a lot of time to break down if done properly. I'm looking to be prepared for the autumn and winter in keeping a steady flow of work coming in too. Leaf collection that normally ends up stuffed in recyling bins can be shredded and thrown into the compost as well as the dead wood that falls into the gardens, and then during the winter making sure the compost is looked after properly, and if needed mulching beds to keep conditions optimal over the winter.
It might be a bit of a faff to some people but I have some clients on board who'd be keen on this.
