A mate of mine brought over a Red Gum Chipper he bought some years ago for over $1000, he used it once on a job and thinks he used it for about 5/6 hours. Totally disappointed with it because the time it took to cut up the hedge clippings was as long as it took to trim the hedge. Never bothered using it again. My father years ago bought something similar, well made rugged machine that looks like it is built for the task but sadly the same experience, he didn't say anything but I borrowed it and I thought it was a waste of time. I have passed it on now to my grandson who thought it would be a help in his gardening business but sadly I think these machines are a complete waste of garage space. Now what to do with my mates one, it has a Honda motor on it that is as near new and I think is the only thing worth salvaging off it, the rest might as well go to scrap metal. These things seem to be a complete waste of money and it isn't my money that has been wasted on them but just giving a heads up to anybody thinking of buying one of these domestic chipper/mulchers
