GreenBay GB-WRC 120 HE - Professional petrol garden shredder - 13 HP Honda GX390 engine

GreenBay GB-WRC 120 HE petrol garden shredder is equipped with a large hopper and a discharge chute which is adjustable in height and direction. It manages to cut weeds and twigs with a maximum diameter of 90mm and it shreds them into pieces easy to handle and suitable for composting. The hopper allows to insert also very bulky branches and fronds, even more material at a time. The small size of the wood chips also reduces the time required to decompose.

It mounts a Honda GX390 (13HP) engine, which is powerful and reliable at the same time. This shredder is equipped with a safety system placed on the hopper, which immediately stops the machine in case of emergency.

In addition, at the base of the hopper there is another safety switch that shuts down the engine if the hopper is opened.

Thanks to the wheels, the machine is easy to transport and able to reduce the strain during manual displacement of the machine. This garden shredder has no road approval.

This petrol garden shredder has the same structure of large garden shredders, thus obtaining the best results in terms of cut, speed and reliability; it complies with CE regulations on work safety.

PRODUCT NOT HOMOLOGATED FOR ROAD USE.

Warning: like all wood chippers and garden shredders, it is not suitable for shredding grass, leaves, pine needles, etc. (it is intended to shred branches, but it can also grind leaves, needles and other vegetation attached to them)

Intended use for garden shredders:
- The shredder must grind only green branches and not dry ones (which would limit its shredding capacity and lead to rapid deterioration of the blades);
- The branches must be preferably long, smooth and not knotty (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 wood type (e.g: oak, olive, plum and peach are hard woods and can reduce the cutting capacity of garden shredders)

The garden shredder has a powerful Honda GX390 4-stroke air-cooled 389cc engine, with overhead valves and aluminium cylinder.

Main features:

The engine of this shredder is also equipped with an electric starter. This machine is equipped with battery.

Focus on the ignition keys

Nominal Power: 13 HP
The correct term would be "Commercial” Power, meaning the standard definition used until a few years ago by all well-known engine manufacturers.

*This technical feature is the one indicated in the main sales channels, even if it is higher than the real power of the engine.

Effective power: 11.7 Hp
It corresponds to the real power expressed by the engine shaft. This is the power indicated as official in the manual or in the technical data by the engine manufacturer.

*This technical feature may vary for the same engine model depending on the engine speed provided by the manufacturer.

WARNING

The engine is PROVIDED WITHOUT OIL.
Please read carefully the instruction manual before starting the unit.

The engine is started electrically by key.

This shredder, like all petrol shredders with roller rotor, must be strictly used to the maximum RPM of the engine; the grinding rotor has a very substantial mass and to give an effective result must reach the maximum rpm, thereby taking advantage of its own centrifugal force generated.

WARNING: if you use it at less than full speed, the shredder won’t be able to grind large branches and perform a high-quality grinding, as well as having several problems.
- Lowering of engine speed or switching off during use;
- rapid deterioration of drive belts between engine and rotor;
- damage to the centrifugal clutch which, if the engine is not at maximum speed, does not fully expand, leading the engine to wear out and irreparably damaging it;

This is one of the few machines of this category with intermediate double belt drive transmission

This feature gives high sturdiness to the unit, protecting both the engine and all the shredding system from every possible internal shock or kickback.

Higher durability over time compared to the standard system used by other manufacturers, with the petrol engine directly connected to the shredding system.

UNIFIED: considerably simplifies and speeds up the work.

You can easily open the hopper for checking.

The single hopper avoids separating (before grinding) the material between large and woody sections and smaller and green sections, each of which is inserted in its special hopper (operation required by all standard wood chippers equipped with 2 hoppers)

SAFETY DEVICE: it is possible to use the device placed around the hopper. In case of emergency, press the red button to immediately stop the wood chipper.

SECOND SAFETY SYSTEM: At the base of the hopper it is also present another switch that shuts down the engine in the case the hopper opens

2 cutting blades, of large dimensions and thickness are mounted on a large spinning steel plate

The double blade system is completed by the working counter-blade located on the shredding chamber.

The rotor is solid and robust, and made in steel.

Focus on the the counter-blade adjustment: this is deliberately assembled inclined with respect to the frame and the direction of rotation of the rotor to increase the cutting capacity of the machine and obtain the best performance possible.

All wood chipper with roller system like this, carry out their work better by inserting branches already leafless and cleaned (not thick and with excessive branching);
And they are ideal for branches having a bit consistency and body, and not for thin and green branches, they are better thick or in high quantities; this is because the roller system is technically very suitable to grind small or minimum diameters, or green material in general, while really give the maximum with branches which have a bigger diameter and density.
This is related to their lower "centrifuge" power compared to the classical models and disc blades, and the "greater distance between the blade and counter-blade", designed for individual branches already well thinned but consistent diameter.

The discharge chute of this garden shredder rotates 360° and it is approximately 2 meters high.

Some examples:

• Position 1
• Position 2
• Position 3

You’ll just need to simply loosen the hooks and press the lever then rotate it in the desired position.

The discharge inclination is adjustable via two hooks placed at the end of the chute

Some examples to control the distance of the discharged shredded material:

• Position 1
• Position 2
• Position 3

Really high adjustable discharge chute, placed at 1.5 m from the ground, equipped with deflector with adjustable tilt.

It allows you to discharge vegetable waste into a box.

Focus on the battery for electric start

Front support

In the rear part of the hopper there is a convenient compartment to always keep the instruction manual handy

The wood chipper also has large tractor wheels 4.10/3.50-4 that allow easy transport.

It features a convenient and practical trailer hitch.

This garden shredder has no road approval.
