Hi. Maybe a timberwolf with a 13hp honda would suit. Not sure of the costings though. Or the old entec,'tree busta' often fitted with a kohler either 13 or 15hp.
I bought a Allen Mighty Mac over ten years ago new. They were red then with option of a 6hp or 9hp B&S engine. Only kept it for a year or so and part ex it towards a Honda mower. The chipper was gravity fed and painfully slow on the branches nearing 3 inches. Also any branch that was not straight would not cut and jam. The shredder side of it was a little more useful. A great machine for use in your own garden, but not for the demands of commercial work. You will be forever waiting for it. Back then I just wanted to reduce the volume of my waste not use the chip/mulch. I found it quicker to remove the waste from site in a mesh sided ifor trailer. If you are going to use it often I would definately spend the £1500 and get a machine that will get through the work.
There's been plenty on here on a similar subject. What we want is a managable chipper/shreader, that will handle small to medium stuff at speed, not drop it onto the floor for me to clear up........and all at a reasonable price. The nearest I can find is the Greenmech 100 at around £4k - lot of money.
