They are excavator mounted. I know they aren't really a chipper...just watch the videos and you'll BELIEVE! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Looks a heck of a lot less work than feeding a "normal" chipper. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
bczoom,
Oh yeah, did you see the car shredder. That's too cool!
My question is this:
You can get rid of a car fairly easily in ONE piece. So, why would anyone shred one into 50,000 pieces? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Must be for auto recyclers. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

pekabu,
Yeah, I saw THE Stirrer, I had to go back and look at it again. All this time, I'm thinking (get stuck...) in a cake /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif, or a compost pile /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif, then I remembered the "muck" tank. I was thinking about stirring the "World's Largest Cake". I must have been in <font color="magenta">Homer Simpson</font> mode. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Now, where'd I put that doughnut???

Because you CAN!!!
How many things have you done just because you have the capability to do so? I'm sure I've done my share. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Exactly (although I probably would have just taken 1 lug on and off 20 times instead, since I don't particularly care to rotate the tires /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif).
I watched the tree shredding and car destroying videos.
I also passed the link on to my friend who's having one of these brought in to do his place. He was impressed with the videos. After seeing them I think he's wondering if more of his areas should be done.
OMG, DON'T LET THE SIERRA CLUB SEE THOSE VIDEOS!!!!!!!
Now, I just have to figure how to justify the excavator so I could have something to attach one to! Would sure beat chainsaw, limbing, drying, blocking, chipping, shredding.......
The town to the south of here has an excavator equipped with one of these. It works as advertised and is quite impressive. Even more impressive is the operator who walks the machine down into drainage ditches to clean out overgrowth. I spotted a used one in some equipment ads for $20k so I won't be getting one soon. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

hazmat,
I know what you mean. Definetly on the "wish list".
Our Irrigation District has a <font color="brown">Tiger Mower</font> that they use to maintain the drainage ditches and canals. I've been pretty impressed with these too. They have it mounted on about a 70-80HP New Holland tractor. The mower is a certer-mounted boom with a rotary cutter. The tractor has a front engine-mounted hydraulic system. Seems like the Cat's Meow for maintenance. It's not got a very wide cut, but has some kind of attitude! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
