Earthquake CS6B Petrol Chipper-Shredder (Ex Demo 2 Hours Use)

Earthquake CS6B Petrol Chipper-Shredder (Ex Demo 2 Hours Use) £729.00
This high-end domestic-use chipper/shredder, from American brand Earthquake, has been equipped with numerous premium-grade features and will make short work of turning both green and woody waste into a mulch that will prove highly useful around the garden (the reduction-ratio is 20:1). When chipping branches (up to 5cm in diameter), it employs a unique design, which comprises optimised knife-angles and a heavy-duty flywheel that combine to ensure material is automatically pulled through. This means you can be ready with another branch the minute the previous one has been processed. When shredding softer debris, like hedge-clippings, leaves and wind-fallen fruit, material is subjected to the action of a series of free-swinging hammers, which thoroughly pulverise it, leaving you with a very finely chopped mulch that will rot-down in quick-time. All processed material is delivered to a large-capacity collection-bag (70-litre). Power from the beefy 6hp Briggs & Stratton engine on the Earthquake CS6B Petrol Chipper-Shredder is delivered to the mechanism through Ardisam’s unique direct-drive motor, which works to minimise vibration, in turn reducing wear and extending the life of crucial components. Thanks to its low stance and large-diameter wheels, this model is stable during operation, and can be towed safely across undulating terrain. Should you wish to further enhance the versatility of your purchase, you might want to take a look at the optional vacuum-kit.
