As you probably guessed since it uses this line, it’s strictly for leaves and will not work well for branches. 095″ string trimmer line to shred the leaves.
If you don’t want to use the traditional paper bags, you can use the provided bungee cord and attach a plastic bag to catch the debris.Īs far as the shredder, it works off the same principle as your string trimmer. I do wish the tightening of the legs was a little more sturdy. With the tripod leg system, you can shorten a leg in case you need to. Again the unit is very easy to set up, but one item I like is the legs. On the side of the unit it has an adjustment for dry leaves or wet leaves. The unit has a 12″ shredding tunnel that helps guide the leaves into the shredder with a 12:1 ratio using it’s 8000 rpm’s. If you have a large lawn, don’t worry, the machine is lightweight and easy to set up and move around. For me, I love the less aggravation of having to deal with the bags. In fact according to the company, you can use only one bag instead of 10 bags. Just rake the leaves to the machine, pick them up and let the machine shred them. What’s cool about this machine is you don’t have to move it all around your yard. The unit runs of your household power supply as it only uses 13 amps to run the motor.
Well let’s thank a company called Yard Force with their design of the YF8000 leaf shredder and mulcher. I don’t mind being more friendly to the environment, but give me something that makes my life easier, not harder. Seriously, every time I have to use these bags, I am cussing and swearing at the person who had this bright idea to go Eco friendly. We have these Eco friendly paper bags that always tear. I really don’t mind the raking, but I really hate the bagging. If you’re like me, you try and find every excuse to avoid the raking and the bagging. Yes it’s that time of year when the leaves fall and it’s time to clean the yard.
