My last post was my first of 2026 and a rant, so here's something more positive:
Here's my new tool.
Bought second-hand.

~4 horsepowers
No more piles of sticks, no more burning.
This year, I'll try cleaning up the hedge around the whole property.
Last time, I've done this is 20+ years ago.
Inbetween, I take recreational breaks target shooting:

I had to bent over really arkwardly to get this picture.
Please appreciate it.
Congrats with this new helper! Honestly looking on something similar for my garden, but not sure that can buy it due to the growing prices 😞 but maybe I can found something for second hands
I've been looking for one for years.
If you have access to electric power (I don't), use an electric one.
They are much cheaper.
I'm afraid that electric not suitable for me. And it's not powerful enough. So I'll try to catch something that suits for me🤞🤞🤞
I only use it for small sticks, because I want it to last a long time.
The big stuff is good enough for bbq :)
I'm afraid that it can be to many sticks in my case last autumn after cutting old trees, vines and other
Great to know you got this amazing machine and no need to burn like you side. But I still hope the grinded sticks can be used as fertilizer. I'm curious to know what you make use of it.
Congratulations on your new tool buddy. Best of luck with your garden journey.
Awesome. It looks like medium size and mobile machine use in peeling rice over here.
