Roy Bretton Chippers And Shredders, Roy Reviews, Special Offers

Today we are looking at the Feider FBT420 Petrol Chipper-Shredder, another budget machine that offers value for money combined with plenty of power. The chipper shredder is currently on special offer at £1399.95 and offers a saving of £198.05. Feider products offer great value for money, they seem to be able to produce quality budget machines at good prices.

Yesterday we looked at the more expensive, but a quality product, the Lawnflite Pro GTS900L Petrol Chipper-Shredder. A semiprofessional machine also designed for the keen homeowner but proven to be very popular.

Although the Feider FBT420 Petrol Chipper-Shredder is a budget machine, the manufacturer gives a standard two-year warranty and an optional five-year warranty. They obviously trust their products!

The machine has a drum type crashing system for a fast work rate which makes light work of larger branches.

10 cm (4 inch) branch capacity.
Suitable for green waste, grass clippings, hedge clippings, leaves etc.

Good Capacity

The powerful Feider FBT420 Petrol Chipper-Shredder can chip up to 10 cm (4 inches) branches with ease. The chipper shredder will help you turn garden waste into very compostable material. I like to compost everything that I take out the garden and put it back in the form of quality rotted compost. The idea of putting green waste, leaves and twigs etc through the shredder helps to make quality compost quickly and efficiently.

The large hopper enables large amounts of garden waste to be loaded into the hopper, although care needs to be taken to avoid blockages.

Engine

With a 420 cc four-stroke overhead valve engine which develops 15 horsepower, the Feider FBT420 Petrol Chipper-Shredder has plenty of power for the job in hand. Believe it or not, commercial towable chippers only start at 18 hp, so there should be plenty of power for the keen gardener.

Chipping And Shredding

The powerful 15 hp petrol engine drives a drum based shredding system that can take branches up to 10 cm (approximately 4 inches). All sorts of garden waste can be put through the shredder from grass clippings, hedge clippings, leaves and any other organic garden waste.

Transport Wheels

One of the many advantages of a petrol Chipper is the fact that you can use your machine anywhere. The Feider FBT420 Petrol Chipper-Shredder has a set of pneumatic tyres which make moving the chipper shredder, very easy indeed.

I always prefer to take the machine to the work rather than the work to the machine. In this way, it makes for easier handling and less material to move around.

Reviews

There are several good reviews on the Feider FBT420 Petrol Chipper-Shredder. However, and I have seen this many times before, some manufacturers can almost overprotective now machine with too many safety guards that can cause issues. It appears that one or two of the guards can cause blockages, some customers have removed certain guards to avoid any blockages.

I am all for operating machines safely, however, if the machine has too many guards to protect the operator, it can create problems. If you do remove the safety guards remember that you may not be covered by warranty, just try and be wise and take care.

To Conclude

Overall the Feider FBT420 Petrol Chipper-Shredder offers excellent value for money as do many Feider products. Looking at the reviews people are generally satisfied with their chipper, just a few niggles with guards which is a shame, although it looks like they have overcome the issues.

If I had a choice and money was no object I will probably go for a more expensive machine. However, life isn’t as always as simple as this, so, sometimes we have to go for a budget machine. I always tell people to buy the best machine that they can afford.

The fact that the Feider FBT420 Petrol Chipper-Shredder has a five-year warranty (with terms and conditions) is great. At least you know you have no unexpected costs for five years, which is a great plus point.

The Lawnflite Pro GTS900L Petrol Chipper-Shredder

Roy Bretton Chippers And Shredders, Roy Reviews, Special Offers

Today we are looking at the slightly more powerful and semiprofessional Lawnflite Pro GTS900L Petrol Chipper-Shredder. At the present time of writing the chipper shredder is on special offer at £2099, which offers a saving of precisely £200.

Yesterday we looked at the cheaper and less powerful Feider FBT220 Petrol Chipper-Shredder which is also on special offer. This wood chipper shredder is available at a cheaper price of £795, a £204 saving.

So let’s get back to the Lawnflite Pro GTS900L Petrol Chipper-Shredder. The petrol Chipper shredder is designed for domestic use and semiprofessional garden use. It comes with a premium grade Longin engine with a cast-iron liner and a low oil alarm that protects the engine against damage.

This product is also available for premium delivery which is a special delivery service that takes care of your new purchase. This also includes free technical support and full backup support via a service network, should you have any problems occur with your chipper.

Features

A powerful chipper shredder designed for keen gardeners and semiprofessional use.
Commercial grade engine with oil protection and cast-iron liner.
Twins stage air cleaner for maximum engine protection.
Will take branches up to 80 mm (3.1 inch).
Unique design enables automatic feed.
Safety stop switch.
Transport wheels for easy movement.
Two year warranty.
Premium delivery service available.

Powerful Commercial Grade 9 Hp Engine

The Lawnflite Pro GTS900L Petrol Chipper-Shredder is powered by a Loncin G270 overhead valve engine. The 270 cc engine develops a powerful 9 hp which utilises the overhead valve technology for smooth running and economy.

There is a dual-stage air filter that protects the engine from dust and dirt. I cannot stress the importance of keeping your air filter clean as it is a must to not let dirt or dust into the engine. Failure to do this can end in engine failure or extreme and unnecessary wear on the engine.

The commercial Loncin engine is fitted with a cast-iron engine liner for longer life. And to protect the engine, there is an oil cut out alarm that turns the engine off should the engine run low on oil.

Easy-To-Use Chipper Shredder

The Lawnflite Pro GTS900L Petrol Chipper-Shredder is a very easy-to-use garden shredder and chipper. With a powerful engine, it quickly handles garden waste.

With its 9 hp engine, the chipper shredder can handle 8 cm (3.1 inch) diameter branches. Which for the majority of people anything larger would potentially be logged for the wood burner. Due to the design of the chipper branches should automatically pull themselves into the machine to enable you to fetch the next branch to chip.

A safety switch is on hand should you need to stop the machine quickly.

Drive System

With a dual V belt system from the engine to the blades, the chipper loses minimum power to the transmission drive. Drive belts also act as a safety measure should anything jam the machine. The belts will slip rather than forcing the engine to stop abruptly, therefore protecting the engine.

Transport Wheels

One of the best things about a petrol chipper shredder is the fact that the machine can be moved around easily. The 400 mm pneumatic transport wheels allow the machine to be moved around easily. I always believe that it is much easier to take the machine to the job rather than taking the material to the job. In this way, there is much less handling and obviously, with the petrol machine, there is no electric lead to contend with.

To Conclude

Over the past few days, we’ve looked at various wood chippers and shredders. The first ones being budget, value for money models. The Lawnflite Pro GTS900L Petrol Chipper-Shredder is going slightly upmarket and approaching the semiprofessional and keen gardener range. However, there is a higher price tag. I always tell potential customers to purchase the best machine that they can afford. It’s important to have a machine that is long-lasting and give you many years of trouble-free service.

The chipper shred comes with a peace of mind two year warranty.

The Feider FBT220 Petrol Chipper-Shredder

Today we are looking at the Feider FBT220 Petrol Chipper-Shredder which at the time of writing is on special offer. The powerful wood chipper – shredder is currently selling for £795 which offers a saving of £204.

The Feider FBT220 Petrol Chipper-Shredder arrives assembled, so there are no worries regarding assembling. There is a standard two-year warranty or optional five-year warranty available to give you peace of mind.

Turn Prunings Into Compost

As I mentioned the other day, I like to be able to reuse everything that I take out the garden and put back. The Feider FBT220 Petrol Chipper-Shredder will allow you to do exactly that. Every garden generates garden waste, a chipper/shredder allows you to shred and chip or your garden waste. No more bonfires that will upset the neighbours!

Two Feed Points

The Feider FBT220 Petrol Chipper-Shredder is equipped with two feed points, one feed point that is ideal for leaves and grass clippings and similar material. The second point is a smaller chute that is designed for branches up to 4.9 cm (2.5 inches approximately) in diameter.

The chipper consists of two heavy-duty steel blades that are mounted on a flywheel. As the branches are fed through the chipper, the heavy-duty blades chip the branches into woodchip. The woodchip can then either be composted or spread on the garden. Personally, I prefer to compost my woodchip, however, there are times when woodchip can be used for pathways and mulching.

The shredding system is carried out by a series of flails that rotate at high speed on a rotor. These flails smash leaves and other garden waste into small pieces making them much easier to compost. Just remember that this machine is not a commercial machine where you can just shovel garden waste in at full speed. It does take time for the material to go through. If you’re looking for something faster we do have larger machines available.

Drive System

Power from the engine to the flails and flywheel is transmitted through a belt drive. This ensures that if the machine is overloaded, the bout will slip, which in turn can damage the engine through abrupt stoppages.

Engine

Feider uses their own engine in the Feider FBT220 Petrol Chipper-Shredder as they do in many of their machines. The machine is powered by a 212cc overhead valve engine that offers quiet and economic smooth running.

Transport Wheels

One of the many advantages of a petrol-driven chipper is the fact that you can move it around anywhere in your garden without having to worry about electric power. It’s much easier to be able to take the machine to the job rather than taking the material to the job. The twin pneumatic transport wheels enable you to do just this.

To Conclude

The Feider FBT220 Petrol Chipper-Shredder is a domestic machine that offers excellent value for money. However, please remember that does take time to chip and shred the material, you can’t just shovel material and throw branches in like the commercial machines. One of the many great features is the fact that you can dispose of all your prunings and turn them into valuable compost or chippings.

The chipper/shredder comes with a two-year warranty or an optional five-year warranty. To me, this suggests that the manufacturer believes in their machine.

The modern specification of this engine makes it very quiet and vibration-free and offers great fuel economy which is so important today.

The Chipper is ideal for large gardens, not only does it save you from burning your prunings and branches, it actually produces compostable material. Once composted for a year the chippings make an excellent mulch and feed for your garden.

Two Inputs

The Feider FBT270 Petrol Chipper-Shredder has two input points. There is a large chute for green waste, leaves and more. And a smaller tighter chute that can chip branches up to 8.3 cm diameter, this is almost a log size!

The chipping system features a heavy-duty steel knife that sits on a flywheel which helps to produce the power to chip the wooden material. The chipping system produces wood chips that can be used on pathways or for mulch. Although, my preferred way is to compost the chips and then use as a mulch.

The shredding system consists of a series of metal flails that will quickly reduce the green material into a manageable mulch that can be composted. Flails are often seen being used to cut hedges and rough areas of grass. The principle is the same, the flails smash the material into small pieces making the material compostable.

Take The Machine To The Work

One of the great features of a petrol chipper is the fact that it can be used anywhere in the garden. With the pneumatic tyres, the Feider FBT270 Petrol Chipper-Shredder can quickly be moved to different areas of the garden. It’s much easier to take the machine to the work rather than the work to the machine!

Engine

The Chipper is powered by a powerful 270cc overhead valve engine that develops 9 hp. The low emission clean burn engine ensures that you have no fuel costs and minimal noise and vibration. This is a straightforward recoil start engine.

As with all engines, make sure and keep the oil clean, the air filters and fuel filters clean. Through carrying out these simple regular tasks you can ensure a long trouble-free life for your engine.

Belt Drive

The Feider FBT270 Petrol Chipper-Shredder has a belt drive from the engine to the Chipper. The good thing with a belt drive is that if any obstacles jam the machine, the belt will slip, rather than causing damage.

To Conclude

There are many chippers and shredders on the market today, the Feider range of products seem to be becoming very popular. Feider offer value for money and an optional five-year warranty for peace of mind.

I always say to buy the best product you can afford, many machines can last many years if they looked after properly. You may like to take a look at our other chippers and shredders here.

Timberwolf has a range of chippers and shredders to suit almost everyone. The smallest Timberwolf machine and yet powerful is the Timberwolf 13/75G Chipper. Then going right up the scale to the Timberwolf 280TVGTR Chipper that can work on slopes and banks, with ease.

Timberwolf S426TFTR Tracked Shredder

So, let’s get back to the Timberwolf S426TFTR Tracked Shredder. This model is almost the same as the Timberwolf S426TDHB Shredder. The model we are looking at today has the benefit of being a go-anywhere tracked machine. So, in other words, you can drive this tracked chipper exactly to the place where you’re working, which does have many advantages.

The Timberwolf S426TFTR Tracked Shredder retails around the £50,000 mark including VAT, although I’m sure prices are negotiable. I believe one of the biggest benefits with this shredder is the rubber tracks that enable the machine to almost go anywhere. I also like the fact that the tracked machines offer a very light footprint in terms of pounds per square inch. This Timberwolf shredder can make short work of clearing sites. It becomes very effective working in scrubland and roadside sites, with maximum performance and versatility in one machine.

**Timberwolf S426TFTR Tracked Shredder Processing Pallets**

Recycling And Green Waste Reduction

If you’re looking for a machine that is effective for the reduction of green waste and recycling the Timberwolf S426TFTR Tracked Shredder, could be your answer. Designed for councils, landscapers, waste management contractors and commercial green waste contractors with a waste problem.

Most importantly, the large oversized feed funnel, allows bulky and awkward material to be quickly processed through the shredder. The large feed intake measures 426 mm x 230 mm, which is large enough to get broken pallets through and much more.

Heavy Duty Steel Hammers (Flails)

The Timberwolf S426TFTR Tracked Shredder looks like a normal wood chipper, it’s actually very different inside. Inside the shredder, there are 18 heavy-duty forged steel hammers, in other words, flails. These flails are designed to work in harsh conditions, chopping the waste into small pieces and releasing the waste through the adjustable discharge chute. The discharge chute has an air assist feature which helps to force the green waste through the discharge chute.

The green waste processing is monitored through an electric auto device, this automatically controls the speed of the material going through the machine. This enables the machine to work at maximum capacity without stalling the engine.

Engine

The Timberwolf S426TFTR Tracked Shredder is powered by a Kubota diesel engine. The Kubota engine is a four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine.

To Conclude

I like the idea of owning a machine that has been well proven. Timberwolf has achieved this by being the top seller of chippers in the UK. It’s also good to have a three-year warranty and an optional five-year warranty for peace of mind.

Timberwolf S426TDHB Shredder

Roy Bretton Chippers And Shredders, Roy Reviews

Today we are looking at the Timberwolf S426TDHB Shredder, this shredder is powered by a Kubota diesel engine. Over the past few days we have been looking at Timberwolf chippers, so today I thought would look at a Timberwolf shredder. This Timberwolf Shredder retails around £3500 including vat.

When I look at the Timberwolf shredder it looks very similar to any other wood chipper, but inside the shredder is very different.

Commercial shredders are traditionally used for the removal of green waste. They are ideal for park use, landscapers, professional waste management and professional gardeners. The Timberwolf S426TDHB Shredder is designed to meet the heavy-duty needs expected from a professional machine.

We Have A Wide Range Of Chippers And Spreaders Here

**Timberwolf S426TDHB Shredder Towable Braked Shredder**

Features

Powered by a quiet reliable Kubota diesel engine.
Large infeed capacity.
Ideal for pallets.
High-efficiency shredding.
Anti-wrap design.
Air assist discharge.
Adjustable discharge chute.
Optional five-year warranty.

How Does The Timberwolf S426TDHB Shredder work?

Traditionally commercial wood chippers have a large flywheel with two blades that chip against a hardened metal anvil. With a commercial shredder, the process is different. Instead of a flywheel with blades, there are what we call “flails” that smash the material into small pieces. You can often see flail mowers cutting the verges and hedges in fields. The great thing about flail is that it doesn’t need to be sharp like a traditional blade. The flail has more of a hammer action and beating action rather than a clean cutting action.

Bulky And Awkward Material

The Timberwolf S426TDHB Shredder disposes of bulky and awkward material with ease. Bulky material can be fed into the large feed tunnel by the oversized feed roller. The large feed area is 426 mm x 230 mm.

**Timberwolf S426TDHB Shredder Processing Pallets**

Heavy-Duty Forged Steel Hammers (Flails)

There are 18 heavy-duty forged steel hammers (flails) that are designed for harsh and heavy-duty work. The material is fed into the flails by the powerful rollers which then smash the green material into small pieces. The shredded material is then discharged through the large chute which is boosted by an air assist process.

The processing is monitored and controlled by an electronic auto fee device, similar to traditional wood chippers. This enables the material to enter the chipper at the correct speed without having to worry about the engine stalling. It also enables maximum capacity and work rate.

With a throughput of up to 3 times per hour, the Timberwolf S426TDHB Shredder quickly disposes of green waste in an efficient way.

**Timberwolf S426TDHB Shredder Processing Green Waste**

Engine

The Timberwolf S426TDHB Shredder is powered by a four-cylinder 45 hp Kubota diesel engine. My experience with Kubota engines has been extremely good. Kubota diesel engines are extremely quiet and fairly vibration-free, this is very important when you are standing next to machine all day! Kubota also has a good dealer network, which brings peace of mind.

To Conclude

Timberwolf has been making chippers for over 30 years, they are Britain’s top-selling chipper. In fact, I would say that here in East Anglia 90% of tree surgeons and arborists only Timberwolf chipper! The Timberwolf brand is very well trusted and recognised. The great thing is that Timberwolf has a very good dealer network and spare parts are readily available.

Timberwolf offers an optional five-year warranty, which to me brings great peace of mind. Apart from the normal wear and parts and servicing costs you have no added expenses. This can be worth a lot to the tree surgeon who can’t afford to have breakdowns, especially in busy periods.

Timberwolf 18/100G ES Chipper

Roy Bretton Chippers And Shredders, Roy Reviews

Today we are looking at the Timberwolf 18/100G ES Chipper, this is Timberwolf’s smallest towable machine. Yesterday we looked at the Timberwolf 13/75G Chipper, which is Timberwolf’s smallest chipper and yet has plenty of power to get the job done. Today we are moving slightly up the scale again to a larger towable gravity-fed chipper.

We Have A Large Selection Of Chipper’s And Shredders Here

Timberwolf is the number one manufacturer of wood chippers in the United Kingdom, for the past 30 years their business has grown considerably. Based in Stowmarket, Suffolk the Timberwolf brand is a very common sight, here in East Anglia. My guess would be that 90% of tree surgeons in East Anglia use a Timberwolf chipper, this suggests something good!

Timberwolf 18/100G ES Chipper

The Timberwolf 18/100G ES Chipper is a gravity-fed machine that is roadworthy, go anywhere chipper. This is a gravity-fed chipper and yet is a commercial machine that can work all day and every day for years. You can also buy with confidence knowing that the Timberwolf chipper is backed up by a national network of dealers.

If you are a tree surgeon or arborist just setting up your business for the first time, then the Timberwolf 18/100G ES Chipper could be your answer. It’s a small machine with great capabilities. For under £10,000 you could be the proud owner of a brand-new roadworthy towable chipper.

Briggs & Stratton 18 hp electric start petrol engine.

**Timberwolf 18-100G ES Chipper Safe To Operate**

Engine

Powered by a Briggs & Stratton 18 hp electric start 4 stroke, twin-cylinder engine, giving the Timberwolf 18/100G ES Chipper plenty of power. I have personally used the Briggs & Stratton 18 hp engine on mowers before, it’s an economical engine for its size. Maybe the Briggs & Stratton engines are not quite so refined as a Honda engine, but still good, I speak from experience.

However, one thing is for sure that literally millions of Briggs & Stratton engines have been sold all over the world. I have owned many Briggs & Stratton engines and over the years they have given me minimal problems. One of the great things is with Briggs & Stratton engines is the fact that parts are readily available and sensibly priced.

The 18 hp twin-cylinder engine comes with electric start and recoil start. It’s always good to have the recoil start system at the ready, just in case of emergency.

**Timberwolf 18-100G ES Chipper Compact**

Small Machine Large Capacity

Here we have a very compact machine that is capable of chipping branches up to 4 inches in diameter, that’s around 95 mm. The work rate is around 1.5 times an hour, which is slower than your traditional chipper, however fast enough for most. Most chippers that I have used with feed rollers can cope with several people loading. This machine is obviously a bit slower but a great option and something I would look at if I was just starting out in the arborist industry.

To Conclude

If you are a tree surgeon just setting up your business, I believe that the Timberwolf 18/100G ES Chipper could be your ideal solution. I have in general always purchased new machinery as I like to have peace of mind and reliability. For around £9500 you could be the proud owner of a new Timberwolf chipper and have the peace of mind of owning a new machine with a warranty.

Timberwolf 13/75G Chipper

Roy Bretton Chippers And Shredders, Roy Reviews

Today we are looking at the Timberwolf 13/75G Chipper, this is Timberwolf’s smallest chipper. However, it’s not your average small chipper! Yesterday we looked at the Timberwolf 280TVGTR Chipper, today, we are going to the other end of the scale, with a gravity feed chipper.

Reliable Honda four stroke 13 hp petrol engine.
3 inch (75 mm) cutting ability.
Positive blade feed.
Solid or pneumatic tyres.
Easy to maintain.

Timberwolf 13/75G Chipper

The Timberwolf 13/75G Chipper is a small and compact gravity-fed chipper manufactured by the largest seller of chippers in the UK. It may be small and compact, but it really is a great workhorse. You can see in the video at the foot of this page how well the Timberwolf gravity-fed chipper performs.

Although the Timberwolf 13/75G Chipper is a small and compact chipper. It is ideal for the hire market, the landscaper and the keen gardener. I have often thought about buying a chipper like this myself and hiring it out. It’s a small chipper with a commercial specification and excellent work rate.

Timberwolf claims that this gravity-fed woodchipper has a working life in excess of 10 years, even when working in the demanding hire industry. This machine is very easy to operate, it’s easy to move around with the transport wheels. It also has a great work rate in a sensible price bracket of around £4000, it really is in a class of its own.

Timberwolf 13-75G Chipper Easy To Manoeuvre

Engine

It’s always good to know that when you are purchasing a quality product that you have a quality engine. The Timberwolf 13/75G Chipper is powered by a Honda four-stroke overhead valve 13 hp engine. I know many people who prefer Honda engines over any other engine on the market.

You Can Find More Chippers And Shredders Here

I have personally owned several different machines with Honda engines, and I have always been impressed with their economy and performance. There have been many times when I have left a machine unused over the winter for a few months. In general, Honda engines will start up on the first pull even after several months of being unused.

Low Running Costs – High-Capacity

Having used Honda engines for many years, I know that the economy is excellent on these engines. I remember owning a pedestrian flail mower which was powered by a Honda engine. I believe this machine would last around three hours on one fill-up, I believe the fuel tank was around 6 L capacity. This is excellent fuel economy for an engine of this size.

With a chipping ability of 3 inches (75 mm) this gravity-fed Timberwolf chipper copes with the average homeowner’s trees and shrubs. Most people tend to log anything that’s over 3 inches in diameter.

The gravity feed works off a strong self-feed action which is produced by the “positive blade feed” that is incorporated into the feed funnel. The 7 inch fully hardened blade quickly chips wood into small chips which can either be composted or used as a mulch. Personally, I prefer to compost woodchip for a couple of years before mulching.

**Timberwolf 13-75G Chipper Chipping Branches**

To Conclude

There are many small woodchippers on the market similar to the Timberwolf 13/75G Chipper. However, I believe that the Timberwolf has the edge as Timberwolf have the experience of successfully being the number one manufacturer of woodchippers in the UK. The fact that this machine is used in the hire industry suggests that it is a well-made and designed product.

As I mentioned earlier, this is the type of machine that I would buy to hire out to people, compact enough to move around easily and yet powerful.
