thanks so much for these videos. We're going to be cutting a lot of green material, sunflower and corn stocks, and we need a shredder for leaves. Not so much with the thick branches. Which shredder would you recommend for that?
Hi, thanks so much for your positive feedback. I found that these shredders do not mulch the green material well, due to the way it cuts/blade. You may be better off looking at a dedicated leave mulcher although, their are not many non commercial models available. Thanks again.
I have a similar machine for the first shred, and then they go into the first Alko shredder I had some 50 years ago, one with the spinning blades for a final chop. A better product doing it that way, although I store the chippings for the following year.
Much of the green material will go through uncut. With the fresh cut conifers, you will need to ensure the cutting wheel is tight against the plate as although it will be cut, it may still be joined by small threads of the branch.
Unconventional question... but Would a shredder like this be suitable for light plastics? Im looking for something to shred plastic drinks bottles before recycling.
Hi, I have no idea if this would work, but think this type of blade would not cut the plastic completely. Sometimes if the blade is not adjusted correctly, even the branch is processed joined up by the bark.
