The 7 Best Gasoline Shredders for the Garden

The grinder of domestic production is characterized by high performance, ease of operation and reliability. It is suitable for crushing any plant debris up to 5 cm in diameter, which can later be used as fertilizer for the garden and vegetable garden or fuel for boilers. The chip size is adjustable from 5 to 45 mm. The gasoline engine allows you to freely move the equipment around the site and use it in any weather. The metal case reliably protects a grinder from damages. It is convenient that there are two receiving holes: 6x6 and 15x15 cm. 8 cm knives with two working sides are made of hardened steel, which is characterized by increased wear resistance. The disadvantages include the small size of the wheels, which makes it difficult to move the chopper on uneven surfaces.

The unit can shred branches up to 7.5 cm in diameter and soft plant materials (grass, leaves, etc.) and produce compost or mulch.Before loading, the garbage must be sorted - for different types there are two receiving compartments. This model is characterized by high productivity - you can get up to 5 cubic meters per hour. Recycled material can be collected in the large bag that comes with the shredder. Thanks to the steel case, it is resistant to damage and will last for many years. Equipped with three pairs of different types of knives made of high-strength steel. It does not require much space for storage - the chopper is quite compact and weighs only 55 kg. A distinctive feature is that the device is very "capricious" in terms of maintenance and fuel used - in order for it to last as long as possible, it is necessary to fill in high-quality 92 gasoline.

Shredders of this model are characterized by high power and processing speed and are suitable for soft plant debris and branches up to 5 cm thick. There are two funnels: for grinding and crushing. The cutting mechanism is flat knives and gear cutters. The collection of recycled material can be carried out in a special bag that comes with the kit. Its volume is about 85 liters. The steel case prolongs the "life" of the equipment. To make moving the chopper more convenient, the manufacturer has provided wheels and a handle in the design.For operation, 92 gasoline is poured into the engine, the oil level in the engine can be checked using a special sensor. Among the main advantages, users name ease of operation, reliability of the design, high speed of waste processing and durability of the device.

The model copes equally well with thick branches and branches (up to 7.5 cm), as well as with grass and leaves. Garbage is loaded into two funnels: the top one is designed for soft plant materials and thin twigs up to 1 cm in diameter, and the side one is for dry branches up to 7.5 cm thick. Compared to electric shredders, it works much faster and is also characterized by high productivity. Case material - durable metal. Differs in a small expense of gasoline and a convenient arrangement of a fuel tank. Before starting operation, it is necessary to fill the engine with oil, since the manufacturer does not do this. When cold, the chopper starts up well, when the engine is hot, it turns on with difficulty. The disadvantages include the high level of noise produced during operation, as well as the fact that the outlet is low enough, which is not very convenient. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the branches often get stuck, which is why the device jams.

This model, according to customer reviews, is one of the best. Its main features are a reliable cutting mechanism (it consists of two rotating and a dozen threshing knives) and a built-in protection system against excessive loads and engine overheating. The device can cope with fairly thick branches (up to 7.5 cm), dry stumps, cones and other raw materials of plant origin. Semi-professional model, can be used for both domestic and industrial purposes. There is a wide funnel for loading and a 90-liter bunker for vegetable raw materials. Previously, the garbage must be sorted - small waste and large ones are loaded into two different trays. For convenience, the trays are lowered and small debris can be raked directly from the ground. A full tank of fuel is enough for 3 hours of continuous operation. The body of the shredder is made of metal. To simplify the process of moving equipment around the site, the design provides wheels.

It is suitable exclusively for chopping branches up to 4.5 cm. A distinctive feature is the wide chassis, which makes the device very stable. When the lids are opened, a protective system is activated so that the chopper does not accidentally turn on. The cutting mechanism consists of two rotary knives and one central guide cone. One of the main advantages is the presence of automatic feeding and retraction of branches. The inclined funnel is large enough, so it is very convenient to load branches into the machine. With built-in splash protection and reduced noise levels, the device runs quieter and is safer for users. The funnel usually comes with a chopper, but it is also possible to complete it without it. Significant disadvantages include the fact that there is no grass collector, as well as a small amount of gas tank. Another feature of the model is the built-in tool. Thanks to this, it is possible to carry out almost professional maintenance of the chopper, for example, you can quickly change the knives.

Caiman brand products are the result of a collaboration between French garden equipment manufacturer Pubert and Japanese car manufacturer Subaru.The Japanese company supplies the engines, while the French company makes all the other parts of the shredders. Needless to say, the quality of products here is on top. Caiman RARO 200C is used for crushing branches up to 5 cm thick and soft vegetable raw materials, which, after processing, are used for fertilizer or garden backfill. The ejection chute is located high enough so that the recycled material can be unloaded directly into a trolley or even onto a trailer. The cutting mechanism consists of two sharp blades sharpened on both sides, made of high-strength carbon steel. They are convenient in the sense that when one side is worn out, you can turn them over and install them on the other side, thus delaying the time for their complete replacement. In addition to them, there are two more grinding knives. This results in greater productivity. The engine, which is installed on the chopper of this model, complies with the level of emission of harmful substances Euro-5. The device is equipped with a protection system against accidental activation - if the knife compartment is open, the engine cannot be started. There is also the so-called passive protection of the hopper - the design is made in such a way that the chopper operator will not be able to touch the knives.
