Title says it. I’m looking for a cheap, smallish unit to chop up woody stuff and soft green plants. I’d slightly prefer a corded electric. Experience from the’ Fire appreciated. Any particularly good or bad units?
Use parameters: An acre total of large garden, 8 fruit trees plus many flowering trees, shrubs, and flowers. At this point I am burning wood prunings and composting greens in a 6’x6’ x 4’ deep open bin. I chop up greens with an old lawn mower on mulch setting.
I’d like one unit to chip wood and mince greens as well. A smallish electric would be my first choice. Looks like the units on the market do one or the other but not both wood and fibrous green plants.
How bad do small electric wood chipper units jam, and how much volume will they intake without problems? Does a gas powered Troy Built wood chipper also mulch soft green plants, even corn stalks, or only do a good job on wood? (I know of a used one for sale.)
