Add a Blower to Increase Speed
ECHO Bear Cat Chipper/Shredder/Blowers are manufactured with the same components as the Chippers and Chipper/Shredders. Adding a blower speeds up debris discharge for better placement and reduces clogging.
Four reversible chipping blades and 12 hammer flails are extremely efficient in reducing debris. With the additional blower you are able to direct the flow of chips and debris into your pickup box or a trailer.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ECHO Bear Cat chipper/shredders are designed to effectively reduce the volume of wood, leaves, and other organic material.
If you don't plan on recycling the material use the chipper. Also use the chipper if the material is green and stringy.
If you plan on using the material for compost use the shredder. Shredding is an efficient way to reduce the volume of leaves or prunings.
Depending on the type of wood, age and cleanliness, chipper blades will work well for between five and ten hours. Dry, dirty wood will dull the blades faster.
The ECHO Bear Cat 3" chipper/shredder will chip a branch or bundle of branches up to 3" in diameter. The ECHO Bear Cat 5: chipper/shredder will chip a branch or bundle of branches up to 5" in diameter.
There are 4 debris screens that are available. The 1.5" is the standard screen and the other 3 screens that are available as accessories are: .375", .75" and a wet debris screen.
The debris screens are available for all models except three. Both the SC5540B and SC5720B have five shredder settings that are regulated by an adjustable gate, which controls output. The SC2170 has the .375" and 1.5" screen available
