This tough unit has been designed to cope with every type of garden waste from 2" branches to conifer, brambles, hedge cuttings and leaves. In using the machine the side chute is for chipping whilst the top chute is for putting in green waste that is pulversied by the 27 hammers. Tilting the machine onto its wheels makes it very light to move around and the side chute folds up to reduce its width for storage.
