  • What's the difference between a chipper and a shredder? Which one do you need? In this video, we answer that very question.
    Hansa
    Established in 1981, Hansa Products are specialists in the design and manufacture of high quality chipping and shredding equipment. We are always looking for new ways to create a better chipping experience and our goal is to produce products that help you to ‘hansform’ your landscape like us - working faster, better and safer than ever before.

    GTM
    The GTM Professional range of compact and powerful wood chippers are designed to offer a portable option to chipping branches and crops - perfect for tree care, landscaping, forestry and garden maintenance.
    Efficient, effective and safe to operate due to their chipping system - a rotor with 2 blades, one counter blade and ejection through a large discharge. The system pulls branches up to 12cm thick into the machine, chips them and ejects clean cut wood chips time after time. The chipped material is ideal to use as mulch or compost.

    Eliet Machines
    An Eliet Shredder can almost be regarded as the generic name for garden and green waste shredders as Eliet are innovators in the concept of mobile garden shredders. Taking the shredder into the garden and working with the natural weakness of the wood means Eliet shredders require less power than conventional chipper type machines and are also easily transportable.

    Great to see proper testing of these type of machines. I only have an electrical domestic shredder, but it takes care of my hedge trimmings, which i put back under the hedges the cuttings came from to long term release and feed. Full circle, no recycling of garden rubbish into trash bin here. It all goes into the shredder then under the hedge or into the compost bin.

    I've got the Eliet, positives are like you said it's great for compost and will handle green wet material so good for gardeners, negatives are it's very top heavy and can be difficult to get on a trailer or van, it can't really handle old hard wood and you still need to push feed the load in, sharpening the 20 blades is a big pain.

Since I use a lot of bark chipping in my garden I wondered if it was more cost effective to get a chipper than take it to the green waste and buy chipping in. The one that keeps stalling would drive me mad so this was a fab test. Thanks.

    I've got the hansa C13 chipper, and it's a beast for around the property, the trade off is it's 185kg/400lb. I have only stalled it once on a hard 80mm/3 1/4" diameter tree that was 4.0m/13' long, the Hansa self feeds very well, but with very long, thick trees it takes the momentum out of the flywheel, best practice is to cut thick branches to about 1500mm/5ft long.

    I'm from the USA and I enjoy watching your videos, we just get hit with a really bad ice storm here in Texas and I lost about 2 acres worth the trees, there are no chippers available for several months so I am back looking for another residential/entry level commercial chipper for my property. I've owned and operated a few chippers in the past and I made review videos on them, unfortunately even $5000 USD chippers are no more than paper weights as soon as a knife comes loose or a pulley brakes , lots of bad welding and other manufacturing defects prevent me from purchasing another chipper. I would love to do a real world review if I can find a chipper that will live up to my standards, then I would proudly represent it and maybe even sell them but as for now it looks like I'm going to have to rent a Vermeer to get the job done. Any chipper manufacturers reading this that want to reach out to me you're more than welcome but be warned, I tell it like it is lol.

  • @jed2055
    @jed2055 Рік тому +3

    Good comparison if only to show me how different chippers handle different woods. Well I guess that was the brief but what I mean is the Hansa is a grabber but too long branches will slow down the flywheel and it loses power/stalls. Two of the others reduce chance of stalling by not being so greedy but then you have to force feed them a bit more. I thought the Chinese cheapy held its ground but I like the Hansa as it seemed the most trouble-free throughout the demonstration. That's a happy coincidence as I bought a Hansa C7 today on impulse. It weighs in at 93Kg and was a struggle for my son and I to lift out of the vehicle. Haven't tried it yet as was too late but by watching your video (and others) I now know to feed shorter pieces into it to help keep the flywheel revs and less stress all round. Bogging down any motor as a regular occurrence is not wise so thank you for showing me what NOT to do 🙂

    • @adamthompson6619
      @adamthompson6619 2 місяці тому

      Yeah one thing that wasn't really paid too much explicit attention to is the self feed. To my mind the Hansa has the best self feed by a fair amount, at the risk of, as you say, being greedy. The chinese unit has poor self feed, the drum unit so-so. If you are feeding appropriately sized loads in, a good self feed makes bigger jobs a lot less painful. I find it pretty tiring having to stuff the load into the chute into a chipper that tends to bounce the material back at you.

    I own a Hansa C3E, and with some care and control feeding I've managed to feed whole palm trees with up to 100mm trunks through it. Even on this tiny electric entry model chipper that I've subjected to torture testing levels of abuse, it still chips like the day I bought it. This demo and my own experience lets me know upgrading to another Hansa is the right move.

    • @peterr7530
      @peterr7530 4 місяці тому

      Hi. How does your chipper go with fibrous stuff like Palm logs and fronds or Yakka stems and branches? Got quite a few of those around my block which need continuous cleaning up and most chippers don't do well with the fibrous stuff.

    • @Simlatio
      @Simlatio 4 місяці тому +1

      ​@@peterr7530 In all honesty I don't think any chipper does very well with the fibrous, stringy stuff. Having said that though, I primarily mince palm logs and fronds, and I find a helpful technique prevents the blade seizing most of the time. The trick is to mince only green palm logs, but I find dry and green palm fronds aren't any trouble. I crush down the palm frond ends with my feet so they will fit into the narrowest part of the chute near the blade and I always push them down with the part that contacts the tree first, as this is the toughest part and allows a back and forth motion to allow you to not overload the blade and prevent stringing. With green palm logs I feed it with the fronds still attached, this is important for me to be able to mince the stringy log fully with something to hold onto. I feed the base closest to the ground in and I gently tough the blade with a bouncing and rapid, but not too forceful in and out motion to slowly chip at the palm log. After a couple of seconds you will inevitably develop a sloping diagonal cut on the base of the palm log, you then rotate the whole palm tree 90 - 180 degrees and repeat, with your goal to chip the log down slowly, only letting the small electric engine bite as much as it can handle, while keeping the area being cut as small as possible which is achieved by the rotation of the log. Stringy branches are only a problem if the string is long enough to wrapped around the spindle the blade spins on, if you had a piece of string and cut it into 1/4 inch pieces, it would never bind the spindle and it's what you are trying to emulate here as you feed and rotate the palm logs. The machine is only rated to 40mm green branches, but with care and admittedly some physical strength, you can gently feed a 100mm palm log through. Almost 100% of my jams occur when I attempt to feed the dried, left over bases of the fruiting portions of the palms. I saw the flowers off when they start to appear to prevent bats from feeding on my palms, I simply don't like creatures that carry lyssavirus and hendra virus to want be above the living space of where we sit at night during gatherings, which leads to a dried arm length portion of the fruiting body to fall off the palm tree. With these I simply do the dangerous thing and feed it by hand, pushing it as far in as I safety can using the same in and out chipping motion to prevent stringing and I cut my losses and turf the piece left of that I am still holding onto. Sometimes I lose my grip when I get greedy and hold it by my finger tips to reach as far in the machine as I can to chip it as much as possible, dropping it into the machine and this is where it can shred to rope and wrap around the spindle, where you will need to take two bolts off to remove the chute to access the blade and unwind the rope in the opposite direction and using a pair of pliers to tear it out. I am unfamiliar with yucca and if it's leaves behave like the stalks of palms you might be in trouble. I would say trying to feed it in like you would a palm tree, base of the plan first so the most tender part is at the top might allow you to get away with it, but as I said the plant is not native or common in my part of the world, so I have no experience with it. Besides this, I rarely have any problems and for what the product is it has ground me piles of compost from an annoying waste product it's not designed for, well beyond it's specifications and price range. You have to be happy for getting more than what you paid for with any product. Don't leave it in the rain though, my father is a small engines mechanic and he is baffled how many people leave these things outside to rust in the rain and wonder why they don't work after a year of buying one. Give it the basic respectful treatment, feed dry palm fronds in last to dry it out before putting away, give it a hit with inox mx3 around the business parts and it's almost unbreakable. Haven't had to repair mine yet. I hope this helps mate. 👍

    I have used a Eliet on a conifer tree and you have to go very slow feeding it or it will stall, and if you feed a big branch through it it will get pulled in and stall so you have to hold the branch to slowly feed it which vibrates your hands badly, the bigger Eliet machines are probably better.

    Gravity fed drum chippers don't deal with dead branches very well. If you drop in some fresh branching after they'll help keep the dead ones against the drum so they won't bounce around in the chute all day. Same is true for 'sticks' ie. stuff with no bounciness to them.

There are even very handy automotive plugs used in the wiring to aid in this process. Mine runs like a dream, don't overfeed it and don't try to chop touch dry wood, it'll block on that, but you can easily fold open the feed shoot, and underneath move a massive section of steel blade to unclog the drum, no need to actually take anything apart, the outfeed is more of a pain, especially if you have some muscles in your forearm, its 4 bolts and you gotta lift the whole thing off, tbh that is my only complaint of this model, otherwise i think it outperforms pretty much all of the competition. Owh and to deal with the kicking heavy branches up and down, just follow a piece like that with a branch with decent amount of foliage and feed that foliage one in reverse, leaves first, it'll hold down the piece that wants to go flying and the chipper will just eat both of them.

    Very good comparison there 👍
    I looked for comparison videos last year as needed a chipper, this would've been the perfect video!
    I ended up getting a Chinese machine similar to the GTM but scaled down abit, only bought for 1 job with poor access and it paid for itself on that job really.
    Might give it a bigger engine soon as think it will improve it further and comes in really handy.

    By adjustment of the red bar stop device, do you mean take it off. LOL. My shredder (earthquake?) has been adjusted like that. Yes I can't sell it because it'll take the hand off a less competent person but I know what it'll shred and what it'll chip. Had it for 20yrs and apart a bit of welding it's great at what it does. I do look at new shredders and think, mmmmm. Great vid of different machines and their capabilities.

    I have a Hansa C13. I noticed you blocked the unit the same way I did when I first used mine. The unit can’t expel material fast enough when you point the chute nozzle downwards, as it occludes the path too much. Once opened up it never blocks.
    I’m in Australia and mine processed hard eucalyptus Timbers. Hasn’t skipped a beat.

      Hi. How does your chipper go with fibrous stuff like Palm logs and fronds or Yakka stems and branches? Got quite a few of those around my block which need continuous cleaning up and most chippers don't do well with the fibrous stuff.

    • @ianshand6094
      @ianshand6094 2 місяці тому

      ​@@peterr7530Hey Peter. The Hansa chippers are designed to handle fibrous material like Yakkas, Cabbage Tree, Palm, Flax etc, and typically have no problem with it.
      It would've been interesting to see how each of these chippers handled fibrous material, as many chippers get bogged down with it.

    Unless you have very long arms , the Hansa blades can't be reached from the normal standing position. I don't know about the other machines on test, but I wouldn't buy one that allowed my hand anywhere near the blades when feeding the branches. I've had an early model C7 for over 10 years and only had a few minor issues with it. Best to cut the long stuff over 35-40mm into shorter pieces as it tends to bog down when the edge goes off the blades. Overall a sturdy robust machine. Replacement blades in Australia are $160 and you can usually get about 3 sharpens out of them if there not too knocked around.

    In the last few years I had more then 20 garden shredder machines. Two was died yesterday and before yesterday. This shredder i was buy in LIDL, one in OBI, two or three in METRO. They are hobby category. Usuly I can use its two and half month. After they go aut of order. I think its not so economical. I bougt one petrol engin HECHT. Half industrial . It was shooting his knife to me and the parts of machine day by day was feel down from the construction. The service sad I was in mistake, becouse no good wood I wanted catting and shredder. But not. Manuals of HECHT wrote: 10 cm wood can cut and shredder the machine. I try only unde then 2,5cm , bicouse the bigger I need to fireplace ( kasan). What kinde shradder or chippper can I buy, becouse in This video more of them shredder has similar matery, Then HECHT. I think this thin iron is not so trustable. Do You know some product what is enough hard to backyards and long life with some low price?
