I'm looking for an electric chipper. I've got a small yard (50 x 100 lot) and mostly need to turn trimmings from about 150 linear feet of hedges into compostable material. Most of the woody stuff is under 1/2" diameter, and I'm not too worried if I won't be able to handle anything much bigger than that. The model I'm looking at is...
I know most people say the gas powered ones are the way to go, but I'd really rather have electric.
The other unit I see advertised a lot is
All the motors on the electric ones I see seem to be designed to work on a 20A 120V circuit, and that limits the power to about 1.5 HP. I've got
240V available outside, but nobody seems to make an electric unit that takes advantage of that. It seems like if I want more power, I need to get one of the gas powered ones.
