Buy a bearcat 70554. It chips and shreds and works with my 16hp Kubota B7100 even with the one speed blower using some power. Look closly, several companies buy and house label the Bearcat. Examples are: Woods, Walker-Schork and at least one other that I have seen. Woods dealers want $500 more for the same machine that I bought. The blower is great to put the chips where you want them, but be sure that it is downwind of you. Lots of fine dust from rotting wood, bark, and leaves.

I just bought a 70554 with the one speed blower. I got it on trial to see if it would work with my Kubota B7100 tractor. It does. The blower lifts the chips and spewes them out at about 6'. Unless you grossly overloaded the shredder bin, I don't see how it would be possable to clog the blower. Unless you have a much larger tractor, you can't chip faster than you can grind and blow the chips. Nothing gets to the blower until it has passed the screen. You could possably clog the screen with small yard waste but you would have to shovel it in very fast. I just finished cleaning up where I had split logs, including many partially rotten ones. Lots of hard and soft stuff. No sign of engine slowdown as I shoveled it in. I know nothing about the 2 speed blower.
