Garden Chipper Shredder | 15HP Electric Start Mulcher | Petrol Chipper from Titan Pro

We purchased the chipper to get rid of a large leylandei hedge we were cutting down. It does the job, but does require some patience in that the feeds are very limiting and all cuttings need to be cut down to straight lengths to be able to feed through the holes. We ended up having to take the guide plate off the side feed and the lid off the top feed to be able to get even reasonably small cuttings through. also it has a tendancy to block up if you do not keep a tool handy to continually unblock the exit shoot. When it blocks up it will overheat and go on fire so until we got used to using it more efficiently, we had to keep a hose pipe alongside, if it does go on fire, you then have to leave it for a good hour to cool down before you can start it again. However that said, it works a treat otherwise and we have only had it a couple of weeks and already it has done a huge amount of work. Not the tool for age old tree and shrub clearance, but ideal for annual and regular garden pruning where the wood is not allowed to grow too thick. But beware you will need a good set of pruners at hand to cut down the wood to size before you feed it into the machine.

I bought mine second-hand...……….. Excellent chipper - it reduces waste to a coarse powder with just a few ~10cm long sticks that get through the screen. I was surprised that bramble thorns are essentially un-findable in the mulch that it produces. Two "hassles", one unforgiveable. The output is very low - part and parcel of the design - it would be great set on something like a couple of pallets, but then the input chute would be that much higher too. Then there is the paint!!!! Almost not worth the bother...……………… For anyone that has no experience of a chipper this big, it has one blade - on the side, for the chute that handles larger branches. The chipper proper is actually a hammer mill, so there is just the one blade, on the side, for branches, to get blunt. Need a cover - a builders' big bag is near perfect, just cover the actual top of the chipper with a water-proof sheet before covering as big bags aren't waterproof, so actually ventilate the stored kit, which reduces rust.
