   I have used a Troy-Bilt Tomahawk Jr., also 5HP. It works as well
   or slightly better than the MTD at chipping, and is somewhat better
   at shredding small branches. It'll have the same difficulties
   handling 2" wood as the MTD. For leaves, the Jr. is miserable.
   Aside from having to pick up the leaves to get them in the hopper,
   they don't feed down the narrow neck by themselves--I spent most
   of my time using a branch or stick as a plunger. It belongs to

If you are looking to get your sister a present, Troybilt now
makes a plastic plunger that does a good job of pushing
leaves and grass down the chute.  YOu can shove with abandon
because it's shape prevents it from going in far enough to
shred itself.

I got mine at the troybilt store, but sears may also carry it.
Be aware that they make different pushers for different model
shredders, so get the right one!
