A Serious Piece of Kit

Hansa says:
The ultimate weapon when it comes to efficiently maintaining your large garden or acreage. Pre-cutting isn’t necessary as branches simply flow through the large inlet chute. The momentum within the cantilevered cutting disk creates a strong draft to discharge high onto a stock pile or trailer. Easy and safe access to the housing or knives for servicing.

Just bought one, amazed by its ability

Lucky you! I will let Hubby know. He's always glad to get feedback.

Wow! looks like you really need that. Always good to have something to make gardening a little easier FF and with a garden the size of yours you need some mechanical help. Thanks for sharing. Warm greetings, Julie😊🧡

Hi Julie, It will pay for itself in a short time. To remove part of the pile of waste we had we were quuited between $250 and $600. Also it neans 99% (if not 100%) will stay on site and go back into the earth which means savings on fertiliser and buying in mulch. Win! Win! FF 😊

I have a C4, fantastic machines!😊

It’s great to have a piece of machinery to help. I hope everything goes well.

[@flowerfairy1950]

Thank you. We have only been here 3 months and as we are in our 70s with 2 acres (no fools like old fools) we need as much help as we can get. Best Wishes FF

I love it when a plan comes together FF! ( quoting Col Hannibal smith from the A team ). Great stuff. You are rocking now. Your own mulch maker. One things for sure you have plenty of branches to keep it going!

[@flowerfairy1950]

Certainly have Tom. Not even started!

That's an impressive piece of machinery! That makes real quick work of your yard waste. We don't have the Hansa brand here, but through selling power equipment from time to time I know a good piece of equipment when I see it. I believe it has a Honda engine on it as well if I'm seeing it correctly. Good choice! They are good runners and last a long time. Much easier to start than other engines as well. Tell hubby to be extra careful (I'm pretty sure you already have). Cool piece of "kit" as you call it!

@@flowerfairy1950 I mulch most everything back into the ground and have for years. Our lawn looks great without fertilizer. Of course the dogs do their part too. Gotta give credit where credit is due! Other yard waste, and we generally have a lot here because we basically live on the edge of a small forest, is picked up at the curb or we can drive it to a local natural dumping area where it is chopped into mulch. When I lived on the farm, we'd just burn it, but that certainly isn't an option for you there. So enjoy your new chipper! It looks like fun! Hey, when are you going to star in one of your videos??? Maybe hubby could hold the camera for a bit.

looks great, and very similar to a unit produced by FBC in Italy, called Serie CIP.6.65A, sold by Agrieuro, also in Italy. I just bought one and expect delivery tomorrow. It does not have the handle to engage/disengage shaft to cutting blade plate otherwise the spitting image. I like this design, its simple and that matters. Good luck with it and I think you made a good choice.

[@flowerfairy1950]

Thanks 👍

[@beerfarmhouse]

How does this machine cope with green fleshy waste, does it block easily?

[@flowerfairy1950]

As long as you don"t overload but if it does easy to remove. Just need to unscrew a couple of 'nuts' and cover lifts for ease of removal. Don't stuff and jamb fibrous stuff in. Mix it with sticks. Hope that helps.

[@beerfarmhouse]

@@flowerfairy1950 Many thanks.

It's too expensive. I bought similar one only 1/3 of that price. CLP WC 155

[@nickjames2594]

Looks alright. Doubt it will last as long as NZ made though🤔
