Shredder.

At last!!..the shredder to replace the one I lost in the floods has arrived.
It's supposed to be a quiet operator...anyone got this model?

 

Looks good Pal - have you used it yet and is it
a 'quiet operator'?

 

I did have a quick whizz tonight and yes,it is very quiet. It chops rather than shreds,and so takes good sized thinnings.
Tomorrow it'll have to earn it's keep....

 

is it wotrh the money pal, father in law is buying one next week so now he watching your thread for the feedback

 

Couldn't get to her yesterday,but I'm off outside now...watch this space!

 

Now that was fun She is a beauty!
Cherry and dead Golden Elm,up to 25mm thick,and she ate them with ease.

Just make sure the adjuster is set to .5mm and this is what you get..

 

looks and sounds good, whats the damage in the pocket pal, any chance of posting the make and model number and i can e mail it to the father in law. cheers

 

Power Plus Silent Shredder. POW 6455. 2500Watt.40mm max cut.
Got mine through...VARO UK.

I paid �£120. but I've seen them for �£99 since so do your homework mate.
It runs about the same noise level as an electric cement mixer and not much different as I fed in the thickest branch. I know it'll be more than able to cope with my prunings,and it's adjustable for all sorts.

 

thanks pal, he will be over the moon

 

Forgot to add...I bought it via an ad in A-Gardening two weeks ago.

 

Quiet (drum shredders) are good for branches and prunings but not so good for soft green leafy stuff - it tends to clog the cutter - so keep the branches till the end as they will clear a clogged cutter.

Also don't adjust the reaction plate too often, it the output is susaging then wind it in a little till it stops. If you see aluminium chips coming out stop adjusting.
