The BullMach Hercules 65 B&S garden shredder or wood chipper has been specifically designed for shredding medium-diameter branches and logs, greatly reducing the volume of wood chips waste. Ideal for all those who need to maintain green spaces and quickly remove and grind biodegradable waste from the ground.
Major strengths of this machine:
- Sturdiness thanks to the system with steel rotor.
- Cutting diameter it allows easily shredding up to 65 mm diameter green branches, while standard shredders featuring the same power can cut branches up to max. 50/60 mm - However, large-diameter branches with more than 60 mm diameter have to be entered in the hopper slowly.
- Exceptional working capacity, it can carry out intense and demanding operations even when constantly grinding large diameter wood.
- High hourly output, over the standard petrol wood chippers consisting of rotor with blades and hammers (it can reach 5/8 mc/h).
Limitations: the final size of the wood chips is larger than average due to the lack of centrifugal hammers. These wood chippers are specifically intended for shredding medium and large-sized diameter branches (according to the max. cutting diameter indicated on each model). They are not suitable for small leaves and green material and small diameter branches.
Warning: Like all wood chippers and garden shredders, it is not suitable for shredding grass, leaves, pine needles, etc.… (it is designed to shred branches, but it can also grind the leaves, needles and other vegetation that may be attached to them).
Garden shredders intended use:
- The wood chipper must grind only green branches and not dried ones (which would limit its shredding capacity and lead to quick deterioration of the blades);
- The branches must be preferably long, smooth and not knobby (otherwise the cutting diameter would be reduced);
- The branch cutting diameter indicated is the maximum, so it is advised not to shred larger branches. In this case, it would be better to purchase a shredder with a larger branch cutting diameter;
- The cutting diameter can vary according to the amounts of wood (e.g: oak, olive, plum and peach are hardwood and can reduce the cutting capacity of the wood chipper);
