Shredders

Posted by Brian's Garden Maintenance on November 30, 2020 at 7:53pm in Waste

Hi All

I looking into getting a shredder for general garden waste and hedging. One the problems I have is I got a VW caddy van so I can't go for anything too big!

I have been looking at the Eliet maestro city to the Stihl GH 460 so far! Any though on them at all? But I also note on her the Eliet Minor 4S come up a lot! But will that fit in my van?

I look forward to your thoughts :-)

          If that's your van and trailer ? Why would you waste time shredding ? A bonfire normally suffices on most jobs 

          Or just put in ton bags and take away and save time 

          I have a ryobi electric shredder for when waste has to be shredded to go through a terrace house but that's lightweight and quiet 

          petrol shredders below 4 inch seem pointless 

          please enlighten me why you would waste time in a position like your van is parked 

          hope this isn't seen as rude but I'd sooner just bag it and throw on trailer

    Hi I used to have something similar in size to that cobra, but I found it was  very slow, how does that compare?

    • Jason Stratford > Edward baker November 30, 2020 at 9:53pm

      No problem with speed I am mainly chipping branches up to 2" and it chips as quick as I can feed it
