Wortex Drake D420/120L - Petrol garden shredder - 15Hp Loncin G420F engine

The Wortex Drake D420/120L petrol-driven garden shredder has a 420 cc Loncin G420F engine capable of delivering a rated power of 15 HP.

The rotor can be easily inspected by simply removing the two fastening nuts on the hopper and then opening it. Any control and/or maintenance operations must be carried out with the machine switched off.

Thanks to the wheels, it is extremely easy to move and transport the machine, and they allow reducing the effort for the user while manually moving the shredder. This garden shredder is not approved for the road trip.

This chipper model allows cutting weeds and twigs with a maximum diameter of 90 mm, reducing them into small-sized pieces that are easy to handle and ideal for composting.

This garden shredder is equipped with a double safety system, one at the base of the hopper and the other placed immediately above. The first does not allow the rotation of the rotor unless the hopper is perfectly closed; by contrast, the second safety system is equipped with a button that, when pressed, immediately blocks the machine in case of emergency. It is built following the logic of large shredders, resulting in the highest performance in terms of cutting, speed and reliability. Thus, it complies with the CE regulations on safety at work.

Warning: Like all wood chippers and garden shredders, it is not suited for shredding grass, leaves, pine needles, etc. (it is intended to shred branches, but it can also grind leaves, needles and others)

Shredders intended use:
- The shredder must grind only green branches and not dried ones (which would limit its shredding capacity and lead to rapid 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 hardwoods and can reduce the cutting capacity of the wood chipper)

This is the only machine of its 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 hit or kickback.

Higher durability over time compared to the standard system of all the manufacturers of petrol-powered machineries, the transmission is directly connected to the shredding cutting system.

UNIFIED: considerably simplifies and speeds up the work.

The hopper is fully examinable thanks to the possibility of opening.

The single hopper considerably simplifies and speeds up the work. It eliminates the operation of separating (before grinding) the material between the major and woody sections and smaller and green sections, each of which is inserted in its special hopper (operation instead requested from all the classic wood chipper equipped with 2 hoppers)

SAFETY DEVICE : It is possible to use the device placed around the hopper. In an emergency it is possible to press the red button to immediately block the function of the wood chipper.

SECOND SAFETY SYSTEM: There is also an additional safety device at the base of the hopper that shuts down the machine or does not allow it to start if the hopper if it is not closed properly.

Hopper base dimensions: 30x15 cm

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 in a manner inclined with respect to the frame and to the direction of rotation of the rotor to increase the cutting capacity of the machine and have 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 "centrifuging" 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.

Provided with 360° rotating discharge chute.

Some examples:

• Position 1
• Position 2
• Position 3

You will just need to simply release the lever and rotate it in the desired position.

The discharge angle is also adjustable.

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

• Position 1
• Position 2
• Position 3

Adjustable discharge chute, located at 1.5 m from the ground, equipped with adjustable-tilting deflector .

It allows vegetable waste to be discharged into a box.

Front support

In the rear part of the hopper there is a comfortablecompartment to always have at hand the instruction manual

The wood chipper also has large pneumatic wheels 16x8.0-7 that allow easy transport.

It features a comfortable and practical tow hitch.

The car is not approved for road transport.
