Founded in 1993, GreenMech has a history of good ideas. The EcoCombi must be regarded as one of the best. It was one of the first machines from the Warwickshire-based company and it is as good today as it has always been. Being road-towable and easy to manoeuvre, the EcoCombi is ideal for mobile crews...
Having seen a big Bear Cat chipper in action, I was looking forward to testing this chipper/shredder. But nothing could have prepared us for the noise as it winds itself up ready for work. It is not excessively loud or particularly shrill, but the word "uncomfortable" comes to mind. Thankfully, it does...
We understand it is a popular brand and a much-liked machine on the continent and we reckon we should soon be seeing more over here. The Super Prem is powerful, efficient, simple to use and we love the price. Originally built by French firm Saelen as a multi-vegetation processor, the 30DR is now branded...
Although it can chip wood up to about 55mm, the Eliet Major is predominantly a shredder. We take it to the compost site, where a pile of prunings and old herbaceous plants awaits. This is an entry-level professional machine, compact for transport and easy to manoeuvre. What makes the Major different...
Inventor Jozef Beauprez - that is where the name "Jo Beau" comes from - built his first woodchipper in 1999. It was mounted onto a Walker ride-on mower. It worked so well that the 13hp M300 and 24hp M500 soon followed off the drawing board. Now the company exports throughout Europe and to the USA, Australia...
Clever twin-chamber technology gives this heavy-duty petrol-engined multi-shredder the capacity to tackle a wide variety of garden waste, making it suitable for the larger garden and maintenance contractors working from a small van. It could not be simpler to use. This unit is powered by a Briggs...
If you are looking for a lightweight, compact and easily-towed chipper, the Hardmet Landforce HL100/27 could be worth a second look.
Part of the Wood Concept range from TS Industrie, the TS Industrie 150 M 15.2cm (6in) machine is similar to its smaller brother, the TS Industrie GM 10M/80.
Power for the GM 10M/80 comes from a 14hp Kohler petrol engine. It has got a surprising amount of grunt.
The Pellenc Airion handheld professional blower weighs in at just 2.6kg and the battery is worn on the operator's back.
