A roller is quiet and slow; blades are fast and loud · review
A flail drum at 2 400 rpm on a 9.7 kW engine, with two hoppers, pneumatic tyres and a towing bar.
The bottom line A machine with a towing bar, which says what it is: 389 ccm, 9.7 kW, 89 mm stated capacity, a flail drum turning at 2 400 rpm, pneumatic tyres and a drawbar so it can be pulled to where the work is rather than carried.
A garden shredder with a strong 9.7 kW / 13 PS engine and 389 ccm displacement, reducing garden waste, shrubs and branches up to 89 mm diameter. It is fitted with a flail drum carrying shredding blades, which the maker states makes it particularly strong and effective, and the blades work at 2 400 rpm. Two feed hoppers: a large one for bushy cuttings and a side one for safely feeding long branches and twigs. A stable chassis with two pneumatic tyres, a transport handle and a drawbar allows quick relocation.
A machine with a towing eye is not a machine you carry to the hedge. It is a machine you tow to the pile, start, and feed for an afternoon.
That is the top end of this shelf, and it is a different ownership proposition from the parcel-delivered electric machines above: it lives outdoors or in an outbuilding, it needs fuel managed between seasons, and it is worth the price only if there is a genuine quantity of woody material every year.
Hinged blades on a rotating cylinder, swinging out under centrifugal force.
They smash rather than cut. That makes the machine extremely tolerant of mixed material — a heap that is half leaf and half branch goes through without thought — and it makes the output coarser than a chipper’s clean chip.
It also makes it the loudest arrangement on the loudest shelf on this site, and the listing publishes no figure.
The drum speed, published. Only one other machine on this shelf gives one, and it is the number that describes what the cutting system is actually doing.
The safety feature that does not look like one.
Feeding a three-metre branch into a top hopper means holding it upright above a machine that is pulling. A side chute takes it horizontally, end-on, with the operator standing beside rather than over the drum.
Two machines on this shelf have one and both are petrol.
The weight. On a machine with pneumatic tyres and a drawbar, that is the figure that tells a buyer whether they can move it at all, and it is nowhere in the listing.
Around 899 €, read at the German Amazon store on the day of the survey.
Listed and unsold: the French Amazon catalogue holds the reference with nobody behind it.
Nothing came back from the American, British, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores at all; the buy button there runs a search rather than opening an empty page.

A rotating cylinder carrying hinged blades that swing out under centrifugal force and fold back when they meet something they cannot cut. It smashes rather than slices, it is very tolerant of mixed material, and it is loud.
Because bushy hedge trimmings and long straight branches are fed differently. A wide top hopper takes armfuls; a narrow side chute takes a branch end-on and pulls it through, with your hands well away from the drum.
Not necessarily — it means the machine can be pulled rather than lifted, which on a heavy shredder is the practical difference. A ride-on, a quad or two people and a level surface will all do it.
A smallholding or a large wooded garden, where the machine is towed to the heap
