The 2ft diameter drum gives unprecedented cutting power over its 4ft length. Using chipping teeth rather than the more traditional flail or mulcher type tooth the Drum makes short work of trees, shrubs, gorse and scrub. Like the Tree Shredder the Drum reduces the tree (up to 2ft diameter) to fist sized chips that are spread in a smaller area and is ideal for amenity woodlands and public Rights of Way. As such the Risk Zone of the Drum is greatly reduced. Also the Drum can maintain the ground vegetation, such as heathers, grasses etc, that already exists and because the chips are spread over a wide area they do not stifle growth. This is ideal for situations such as whole tree clearance where existing heathers and vegetation are to be retained.
