Earthquake CS10 Petrol Chipper-Shredder £999.00
With its immensely powerful 10hp Briggs & Stratton engine; rapid throughput-rate; and rugged build-quality; this heavy-duty petrol chipper/shredder from U.S. manufacturers will make short work of both semi-professional and large-scale domestic waste processing jobs. As a shredder, it uses Earthquake’s patented free-swinging triangular hammers to pulverise leaves; hedge-clippings; grass-cuttings; and similar soft debris, reducing it at a rate of 20:1 to the sort of highly compostable mulch for which garden-centres charge a significant amount of money. As a chipper, branches up to 7.5cm in diameter are sent through two super-sharp chipping blades, leaving you with woodchips that can be used for pathway surfacing or winter bed-protection. In-feed is simple and safe. The Earthquake CS10 Petrol Chipper-Shredder features Earthquake’s unique direct-drive rotor assembly, whereby vibration-levels are minimised, which in turn lessens wear and tear, thereby extending the useful life of key parts. It comes with a capacious 70-litre collection-bag, so you won’t lose any of the precious mulch; and it sits on a pair large-diameter wheels that work with its low centre-of-gravity to ensure stability during both operation and towing. For enhanced convenience, this model can be used with the optional vac-kit.

Earthquake CS6B Petrol Chipper-Shredder £799.00
This high-end domestic-use chipper/shredder, from American brand Earthquake, has been equipped with numerous premium-grade features and will make short work of turning both green and woody waste into a mulch that will prove highly useful around the garden (the reduction-ratio is 20:1). When chipping branches (up to 5cm in diameter), it employs a unique design, which comprises optimised knife-angles and a heavy-duty flywheel that combine to ensure material is automatically pulled through. This means you can be ready with another branch the minute the previous one has been processed. When shredding softer debris, like hedge-clippings, leaves and wind-fallen fruit, material is subjected to the action of a series of free-swinging hammers, which thoroughly pulverise it, leaving you with a very finely chopped mulch that will rot-down in quick-time. All processed material is delivered to a large-capacity collection-bag (70-litre). Power from the beefy 6hp Briggs & Stratton engine on the Earthquake CS6B Petrol Chipper-Shredder is delivered to the mechanism through Ardisam’s unique direct-drive motor, which works to minimise vibration, in turn reducing wear and extending the life of crucial components. Thanks to its low stance and large-diameter wheels, this model is stable during operation, and can be towed safely across undulating terrain. Should you wish to further enhance the versatility of your purchase, you might want to take a look at the optional vacuum-kit.
