Gentlemen,
I'm or should that be have run out of storage space so I am going to build a shed from what I have about me but first I need to clear a patch of ground at the back of my garage so today I have been gardening with a chain saw (electric) and a shredder and boy does it feel good, its very stress relieving. One tree like bush gone and half of another left. I've even found a steerable trolley I forgot was there in amongst it all so a good day had.

We hired in a BIG shredder in August. Being combatant members of a Viking re-enactment society, we are natural risk takers, but you didn't have to explain it to a single one of us. There was no instance of hands in the hopper mouth & there was much pushing of sticks with other sticks!
It was a sobering sight to shove in a 8" birch tree & watch it come flying out of the pipe in a shower of chippings, vanishing within a few seconds. Very scarey - and we've booked it again for next year. ;o))
Regards,
Kim
my shredder is a lowly second hand one given to me by a friend who couldn't get it to work properly, sharpening the blades made all the difference and it will happily chew anything into bits up to 1.5 in.

ISTR seeing one demonstrated at a Weeting rally several years ago. IIRC the thing was driven by a large V12 turbocharged diesel engine. The machine which I saw ate a similar tree in much the same time.
