The little electric one is a Mantis Chip Mate 2. Came with a pallet of stuff at the farm auction where I was mostly interested in something else on the pallet. I plugged it in and dropped a stick into it, Dang! Feisty!
The big one is a Bolens MC2500 that I got at a yard sale for $20 since it had a bad motor. I bolted one of those Predator 5hp from Harbor Freight onto it and it runs great, just seems way too slow and ineffective for bigger sticks. But as was mentioned above, I may need to figure out how to take it apart and sharpen things up.
Either are great for making mulch, and I'd recommend doing it. Just don't envision the County guys on the side of the road with the big machine... it's disappointing!
