BRAST Benzin Gartenhäcksler 7 PS review

A 75 kg petrol machine with 22 blades in three types, two hoppers, 10-inch wheels and a 76 mm stated capacity.

The bottom line The first machine on this shelf that is delivered by freight rather than by parcel — 75 kg, 103 × 86.5 × 135 cm, and the listing says to give a phone number for the delivery appointment. Twenty-two blades in three types, two hoppers including a 17 cm side feed, and a stated 76 mm capacity.

What the maker prints on its own page

A petrol shredder turning bulky garden waste into shredded material, with branches, shrubs, autumn leaves and woody cuttings reduced by up to 80 per cent. A four-stroke OHV engine of 208 ccm and 5.2 kW (7 PS) at 3 600 rpm, with a maximum cutting diameter of 76 mm, TÜV Rheinland tested and certified. Twenty-two blades — 2 chipping blades, 10 flail blades and 10 shredding blades — with two feed hoppers including an extra large 17 cm side hopper, both self-feeding. A massive steel housing, large 10-inch wheels (25.4 cm), overall dimensions 103 × 86.5 × 135 cm and a total weight of 75 kg. The listing covers two models, at 5.2 kW (7 PS) and 11 kW (15 PS). It also states that the machine ships by freight and that a mobile number must be given at checkout for the delivery appointment.

The line about the delivery

“It is essential to give your correct mobile number at checkout, otherwise no appointment and no delivery is possible.”

That is the sentence that marks the boundary of this shelf. Everything above it here arrives in a parcel; this arrives on a pallet, and somebody has to be in.

It is also the most practically useful thing in the listing, and it is the only one of nine that says it.

75 kg, and the dimensions

Both published, which on a machine of this size is not optional information.

103 × 86.5 × 135 cm is a substantial object to store. Seventy-five kilograms on ten-inch wheels moves across a firm surface with effort and does not go up steps.

This is a machine that lives in one corner of a property and has material brought to it, rather than one that is taken to the hedge.

Three kinds of blade

Two chipping, ten flail, ten shredding, on one rotor.

A mixed garden heap is not one material: it is a few solid branches, a great deal of springy hedge trimming and a layer of leaf. A rotor carrying three blade types deals with all three without stopping to change anything, which is what the two-hopper arrangement is also for — the side feed takes long straight branches, the main hopper takes the armfuls.

Two models in one listing

7 PS and 15 PS. The figures above are the variant the technical data block describes; a comparison built on the larger engine would describe a machine at a different price.

What is not stated

A collection bag or box. The reduction ratio. The noise — on a 208 cc petrol blade machine, which is the loudest thing on this entire site.

Availability

Around 600 €, read at the German Amazon store on the day of the survey.

Listed and unsold: the British and Spanish Amazon catalogues hold the reference with nobody behind it.

Nothing came back from the American, French and Italian Amazon stores at all; the buy button there runs a search rather than opening an empty page.

The declared figures, and the point they stop at

Strengths

  • Weight and overall dimensions both published, which on a freight-delivered machine is essential
  • Three blade types in one rotor, and two hoppers for different material
  • The listing warns about freight delivery and what it needs from the buyer

Compromises

  • The listing covers two models, at 7 PS and 15 PS, so the figures depend on the variant
  • No collection bag or box stated — the output goes on the ground
  • No reduction ratio and no noise figure

What this machine usually gets asked

What is the difference between the three blade types?

The listing names chipping blades, flail blades and shredding blades on one rotor. In broad terms: chipping blades cut solid wood, flails smash soft bushy material, and shredding blades reduce what the other two have started. A single rotor carrying all three handles a mixed heap without changing anything.

Does it collect the output?

The listing does not state a bag or a box. Petrol machines at this size usually discharge onto the ground or into a container you put there, which is fine for a mulch pile and inconvenient for a bin.

Is 75 kg movable?

On 10-inch wheels across firm ground, yes, by one person with some effort. Up a step, across a lawn in winter or into a van, no. This is a machine that lives where you put it.

Who this one is for

A large property with real woody prunings, where a 75 kg machine can be left in one place
