Petrol Shredders – Power Meets Precision for the Passionate Gardener

When a garden grows wild enough to demand more than a humble hedge trimmer, it’s time to call in the big guns. Radmore & Tucker’s range of petrol‑powered shredders delivers unrivalled muscle and mobility for those who refuse to compromise on performance.

Why Choose Petrol?

  • Freedom from the socket: No mains? No problem. Our machines roar to life wherever you need them – whether that’s a remote woodland clearing or a steep, treacherous slope where an electric cord would be a safety hazard.
  • Unmatched capacity: With chopping widths of up to 100 mm and engine outputs topping 10 hp, the most robust models can devour thick branches that would leave electric rivals choking for breath.
  • Speed that matters: Engineered to spin at a blistering 3,800 rpm, they turn bulky cut‑tings into fine mulch in a fraction of the time it takes a manual effort.

Built for Tough Jobs

Each petrol shredder sits on a wide, low‑centre chassis that gives it rock‑solid stability even on uneven ground. The heavy‑duty steel frame absorbs vibration, while the ergonomic handles keep fatigue at bay during long sessions.

The heart of every machine is its knife drum – a precision‑cut array of hardened steel blades that continuously shear wood into tiny fragments. Those fragments are perfect for sieving and feeding straight into your compost heap, where they break down faster and enrich soil fertility more effectively than coarse chips.

From Garden Bed to Woodland

Whether you’re clearing a summer‑storm mess of 3‑inch branches, turning old hedging into valuable mulch, or maintaining a small private woodland, our petrol shredders adapt with ease. Switch from shredding to chipping in seconds thanks to dual‑hopper designs that keep your workflow fluid and uninterrupted.

Explore the collection below and discover why seasoned horticulturists trust Radmore & Tucker for the job that demands power, portability, and polish.

Key Features & Innovations

  • Dual‑Hopper System: One hopper for shredding, another for chipping – perfect for separating fine mulch from larger wood chips.
  • Vacuum Nozzle Attachments: Keep your work area tidy by sucking up debris as you cut.
  • Feed Rollers & Adjustable Infeed: Reduce jamming and handle irregular branch sizes with confidence.
  • Low‑Noise Engine Technology: Even the 10 hp models run quieter than many electric counterparts, making them neighbour‑friendly.

Safety First – Your Protection Matters

Powerful machinery demands respect. All Radmore & Tucker petrol shredders come with safety interlocks and sturdy guarding, but personal protective equipment is essential:

  • Eye protection: Safety glasses or a full face shield.
  • Gloves: Cut‑resistant gloves to protect hands from stray debris.
  • Ear defenders: Recommended for models exceeding 8 hp, where engine roar can be substantial.

Choosing the Right Model for You

Our catalogue spans a spectrum of power and price points. If you only need occasional garden tidy‑ups, a lightweight 4‑hp unit with a compact chassis will be more than sufficient. For professional landscapers or landowners managing acres of woodland, the heavyweight 10‑hp beasts deliver the throughput required to keep projects on schedule.

All models feature easy‑start pull‑cords, low‑maintenance air‑cooled engines and robust steel housings that stand up to the elements. When you buy from Radmore & Tucker you also gain access to our after‑sales support network – genuine spare parts, routine servicing and a 2‑year guarantee for peace of mind.
