Earthquake CS6V Petrol Chipper-Shredder (Second Hand)

Earthquake CS6V Petrol Chipper-Shredder (Second Hand) £499.00
The U.S.-built Earthquake CS6V features dedicated chipper and shredder mechanisms, and so provides the ideal all-in-one solution to the problem of large-scale garden-waste management. The chipper system comprises two chipping-knives that will turn even large-diameter branches (up to 50mm) into woodchips that can be spread around the base of plants for winter frost-protection. The unique design of the chipper-intake ensures branches are literally pulled into the cone, so you can be ready with the next one as quickly as possible. The shredding mechanism (for softer green waste) employs a series of free-swinging triangular hammers which ensure power is focused at the point of impact for outstanding mulching performance (the reduction ratio is an impressive 20:1). The hammers are reversible, so it will be a long time before they need to be sharpened. The Earthquake CS6V Petrol Chipper-Shredder is driven a very high-performance 6hp Viper engine, power from which is transferred via a perfectly balanced direct-drive rotor for less vibration and therefore reduced wear. It comes with a capacious 70-litre collection-bag, so you’ll be able to process plenty of material between each trip to the compost-pile; and it sits on a pair of large wheels that work with its low centre-of-gravity to make it stable, both when stationary, and when being towed. This already versatile machine can be made even more so with the purchase of the optional vac-kit.
