Effortlessly powered by the 196cc Loncin engine, the chipper and flail blade system quickly break down branches into a fine mulch that's perfect for composting. Masport Chipper Shredders are built strong with a heavy steel frame and large safe chute. The drive system is run by a V-Belt rather than a direct drive system. This design is more tolerant to impact and unnecessary overload on the drive system and engine.
