Recommend me a BCS two-wheel tractor chipper/shredder

Hello everyone.

I have a BCS 780 two wheel tractor which is an amazing machine capable of powering so many attachments. Couple of months ago I bought a petrol powered shredder (Jansen 2000 pro) but barely used it 2 or 3 times due to its weight and the incapability of moving it around easily, so I thought - why not use the engine of the BCS and buy a shredder as an attachment to it. It will be a lot easier to move and while I may sacrifice some power I would use it more often. And at the end, one engine powering many machines sounds more reliable than having a different engine for each task.

So after some time spend researching I’ve reduced the list down to two models - the Caravaggi BIO 90, which is capable of shredding things up to 7cm and the FBC CIP.8 (some other Italian company) which is good for up to 8cm.

Now here is the thing: The Caravaggi is the company that produces the BCS shredder you can buy with them directly, they are well known for being of good quality and being quite reliable (from what I’ve read on some BCS forums).
FBC - I’ve never heard of them. Can someone here help me with any information on that company or their shredders?! Does anybody have any experience with them ?

I personally like the FBC better because of the bigger diameter of material capable of shredding, pure looks and lower price - I could get this one for about 1000 euro less than the Caravaggi. The problem is that I’ve never heard anything about this company and unfortunately they don’t have a dealer in Bulgaria where I live (so if anything happens with this shredder - I’m on my own). Caravaggi has an official dealer here and 2 years warranty.

Any help will be much appreciated!

P.S. If some of you have any other suggestion for a machine that I could use on my BCS - please throw a name in here!

All the best,
Delcho
