This heavy-duty petrol chipper/shredder from Apache features a twin-cutting mechanism, with its 10 flywheel-mounted flail-blades reducing soft material to a fine, compostable mulch; & its two hardened-steel chipper blades turning branches (up to 50mm in diameter) & woody debris into chips that are ideal for shrubbery protection. It’s driven by a premium-grade Briggs & Stratton Intek engine; a 6.5hp Industrial/ Commercial unit that employs the latest overhead-valve technology for enhanced performance; fewer exhaust emissions; & a reduction in fuel-consumption. Splash-type lubrication works with a cast-iron cylinder-sleeve & a dual-element air-filter to ensure season-after-season of maintenance-light service; while B & S’s Magnetron® Electronic Ignition System means starting the engine is fast & stress-free. The Apache BIO555 Petrol Chipper/ Shredder is constructed entirely from heavy-gauge steel, so it’s more than capable of withstanding the inevitable bumps & scrapes it will encounter during its working-life. Other st&-out features include an extra-large chute-opening, which makes it possible to feed-in bushy branches without pre-stripping them; & an adjustable exit-grate, which means that you can control the coarseness/fineness of your woodchips.
