Portable Mulching and Shredding Power!*
Chipper/Shredders use a powerful internal mechanism to perform two separate functions;
not surprisingly, these are "Chipping" and "Shredding".
Chipping
The first function allows chipping tree limbs into pieces that are
approximately 3/16" in size. As a limb of up to three inches in diameter
is inserted into the side chute of the Chipper, it encounters a high carbon
steel chipping blade fastened to a 37 pound flywheel that is rotating at an
unstoppable 3500 revolutions per minute. As it passes to within 3/16" of
a heavy steel anvil, this blade shears off a chip of wood once for every
revolution. The power of this compact, but powerful chipping action has to be
seen to be believed. The output is a uniform chipped wood product suitable
for ground covering, or mulch.
Shredding
The shredder works from a hopper that is mounted on the top of the attachment
into which leaves, stalks, and garden waste may be dropped into the shredding
mechanism. The shredding chamber is a mayhem of 28 "flails" or
"hammers" also swinging at 3500 RPMs - that's 98,000 flail strikes
every minute! The shredded material falls down an out put chute onto the
ground when they are small enough to pass through a filter screen at the
bottom of the shredding chamber. Three different size screens from 3/8"
to 1-1/8" are available to control the fineness of the shredded material
so that it can be used for different mulching and composting applications.
The shredder can process limbs up to 1" in diameter.
The PTO chipper/shredder attachment will fit on any BCS tractor with 7hp or
larger engine. This chipper shredder is made with a very heavy gauge steel
body that will stand up to years of punishing jobs. One of the great benefits
of the PTO chipper/shredder is easy transport. Since it connects to a BCS
tractor, transporting the PTO chipper/shredder into rough areas is easy because
the tractor's drive does all the work.
