Strongly recommend potential purchasers to consider what exactly they want to chip/shred before purchase. The engine starts well and the assembly/operating instructions are mediocre. You then have to spend time taking the grille out and cleaning it- not something I had planned on and certainly not mentioned by Titan Pro. In order for it to work as designed, it has to have a grille in place at the outlet and if the waste is wet or fibrous then this grille tends to clog up. Without wishing to prattle on, this machine is good at processing some garden waste IF it has dried out and is not fibrous (ie like brambles etc.) or wet. At 15hp this was a big jump in power and I had hoped for a big improvement in capability to throughput large amounts of normal garden waste quickly.
I purchased this machine about a year ago to replace a 2KW electric Bosch shredder that simply wasn't up to the task of efficiently clearing the waste from a fairly large garden.

This made life so much easier but goes against 'elf and safety protocol! It's a lot of machine for not a lot of money, probably easy to sell 'second hand' if I decide to upgrade in the future.Ī Little Disappointed-15HP Petrol Garden Chipper Shredder - Manual Start I removed the safety guards from the top hopper, side chute and the discharge point. I thought the bottom outlet discharge would be a pain but I found that if you stand the foot of the machine inside a 1 tonne builders merchants bulk bag, it's a great way of collecting the clippings. The green waste for chipping was nice and dry - not sure how successful it would be if wet. Keep a long sturdy wooden stick handy for clearing out the discharge opening as it can soon become blocked with clippings.
I found the best way was to have two different piles, one for green waste with 10mm or less diameter branches (these go in the top hopper) and another pile of branches 10mm to 50mm chopped into straight'ish lengths to feed into the side chute. You do need to spend a bit of time separating and trimming branches etc. It's munched its way through a huge pile of laurel, rhododendron and various shrubs leaving a nice fine mulch for composting, very sturdily built and good value for money - the electric start is a nice feature.
I bought the 15hp Titan-Pro Garden Shredder/Chipper for general domestic use as we have a reasonable size garden and wanted to shred and compost our garden waste.
