A roller is quiet and slow; blades are fast and loud · review
The largest machine on this site: 120 kg, 9 kW, 120 mm branches on two reversible blades, with electric start.
The bottom line The biggest thing on this site by every measure: 120 kg, 420 cm³, 9 kW, and a stated 120 mm branch capacity on two reversible blades at 2 530 rpm. Electric start, a 6.5-litre tank, a rotating and adjustable discharge chute, and a ball hitch for towing.
A powerful petrol blade shredder with a 9 kW / 12 PS 420 cm³ four-stroke engine for quickly reducing green waste and coarse branch material. Two robust reversible blades at 2 530 min⁻¹ process branches and green waste up to 120 mm in diameter. A stable metal construction weighing 120 kg is designed for demanding use, and the 6.5-litre tank allows long sessions without refuelling. An integrated electric start allows starting at the press of a button, and the rotating, adjustable discharge chute allows the direction of output to be set. Large pneumatic wheels, ergonomic handles, folding support feet with a quick release and a ball coupling ease transport, and a safety switch on the feed hopper adds protection.
120 kg. 420 cm³. 120 mm.
Nothing else in any of the forty-six families here approaches it. The petrol mowers weigh 35 kg; the largest towed sweeper is 27.
This is a machine that arrives on a pallet, lives in an outbuilding or under a cover, is moved on a ball hitch behind a vehicle, and is worth its price only on a property that generates real quantities of woody material — or shared between several that do not.
Two of them, each with an edge at both ends.
When the first edge dulls, the blade is unbolted, turned round and refitted. That is twice the working life before anything is ordered, and on a machine whose blades meet 120 mm of wood it is a sensible piece of design rather than a cost saving.
Adjustable discharge direction, which sounds like a convenience and is a practical necessity at this size.
A machine producing this much chip has to put it somewhere: a trailer, a heap, a bay, a barrow. Being able to point the output is the difference between one handling operation and two.
A 420 cm³ engine started by pulling a cord is a proposition. A button is not a luxury on a machine of this displacement, and it is the kind of thing that decides whether the shredder gets used for the small job as well as the big one.
It is the maker’s figure, and no standard behind this shelf defines how such a figure is obtained. One manufacturer here publishes the assumptions behind its own number and states that hardwood cuts the practical capacity substantially.
That caveat belongs on every listing on this shelf, including this one, and this page says so rather than repeating a number as if it were tested.
From 1100 € to 1500 €, that being the spread across the German and French Amazon stores on the day of the survey.
Listed and unsold: the American, Italian and Spanish Amazon catalogues hold the reference with nobody behind it.
Nothing came back from the British Amazon store at all; the buy button there runs a search rather than opening an empty page.

A blade with a cutting edge at each end, bolted so it can be turned round when the first edge dulls. It doubles the working life before anything is bought, and it is the right arrangement on a machine whose blades meet 120 mm of wood.
It is the maker’s figure and no standard defines how it is obtained. One manufacturer on this shelf publishes the conditions behind its own number and states that hardwood reduces it substantially; there is no reason to think this figure is exempt from the same physics.
For moving it, yes. The ball hitch and the folding support legs say what the maker expects: the machine is towed, not carried, and 120 kg does not go up a step.
A smallholding, a large wooded plot, or shared use between neighbours
