- Longer rows allow faster average speeds
- flat ground allows faster speeds
- Thinner brush naturally allows for faster speeds
- Brush stacked in piles feeds into the machine faster
What Slow Down Operation?
- Short Rows with lots of turning around.
- Piles of leaves prevent feed-wheels from grabbing the brush and pulling it into the shredder head.
- The operator must stop to remove branches larger than 4" in diameter.
- The operator must stop to remove twine and rope from brush.
- Areas with mud are avoided
- Larger Brush naturally slows the shredder.
