If you’re maintaining a large garden that generates a substantial amount of waste material, the powerful and robustly constructed Feider FBT220 Petrol Chipper-Shredder will prove a real boon!

It’s equipped with two in-feed points: there’s a wide-aperture hopper for the fast and efficient deposition of leaves, grass-clippings and other green debris; and a smaller, cone-shaped chute designed to accept branches up to a hefty 4.9cm in diameter.

The shredding-system consists of a series of metal flails which will reduce that green waste to an easily manageable and highly compostable mulch; while the chipping-system comprises a flywheel-mounted HS steel knife that will effortlessly turn branches into woodchips perfect for pathways and frost protection.

The Feider FBT220 Petrol Chipper-Shredder features a belt drive that ensures the worst impact an overload can have is a broken belt, rather than the terminal engine-damage that can occur with a crankshaft-type drive.

A 212cc OHV-configured four-stroke engine delivers its power quietly, smoothly and efficiently; while twin transport-wheels - with sizeable pneumatic tyres - make around-the-garden movement simple.
