We have about 1/2 acre of land on the edge of woodland and containing a lot of our own trees. The sort of deceptive thing where you go to trim a small branch and realise it's 20' long and an inch and a half thick, or tidy up a bush and end up with enough branches to fill a car!
We burn some but don't have a great space to do so and there are a lot of evergreens which are bulky to pile up, so I have thought on and off about a home shredder/chipper having seen how useful the professional ones are when the arborists visit.
But I don't know much about what is out there, what level/budget is appropriate for me. My default is to buy the cheapest and find it's underspecced, which is a lesson I should have learned by now!
So, recommendations? Advice/reviews?
