15HP Petrol Chipper Shredder

I have had a Titan Pro 15HP for 3 years and have had to replace the flail hammers twice as they have sheared off. Replacing them is a nightmare! However Titan Pro are superb with videos showing you how to do repairs. The replacing of belt was as easy as it looks on YouTube. The engine is extremely powerful and chips/ mulches most things apart from weeping willow thin branches. The feeder handles large and lush conifer branches which the hammers pull in and chip to a compoostable size, however some parts of the branch do not get chipped and get stuck in the outlet guard. The guard protector also causes a build up of material which need constant clearing. A high mounted output shoot is the better option but that is different design. Overall I have been satisfied but certainnly would not recommend to someone with lots of trees to be pruned and chipped. Another thing is the electric start is flimsily welded to frame in an awkward position when undertaking servicing. It has snapped off. Poor design.

I bought mine second-hand...………..Excellent chipper - it reduces waste to a coarse powder with just a few ~10cm long sticks that get through the screen. I was surprised that bramble thorns are essentially un-findable in the mulch that it produces.Two "hassles", one unforgiveable. The output is very low - part and parcel of the design - it would be great set on something like a couple of pallets, but then the input chute would be that much higher too. Then there is the paint!!!! Almost not worth the bother...………………For anyone that has no experience of a chipper this big, it has one blade - on the side, for the chute that handles larger branches. The chipper proper is actually a hammer mill, so there is just the one blade, on the side, for branches, to get blunt.Need a cover - a builders' big bag is near perfect, just cover the actual top of the chipper with a water-proof sheet before covering as big bags aren't waterproof, so actually ventilate the stored kit, which reduces rust.
