The Bear Cat
580 is a towable, petrol-powered chipper/shredder designed for homeowners and
light-duty commercial use. It is a dual-purpose machine that can chip larger
branches and shred smaller yard debris.
Here are the
key features of the Bear Cat 580:
Chipping
and Shredding Capabilities:
- Chipping Capacity: It can typically chip branches
up to around 3” in diameter, depending on the wood type.
- Shredding Capacity: The shredding mechanism is
designed for smaller material, such as leaves & twigs, often with a diameter
of up to 1 inch (2.5 cm).
- Dual In-feed: The machine has separate
in-feed chutes: a dedicated chipping chute for branches and a larger
shredding hopper for leaves and other loose materials.
Engine
and Drive:
- Engine: The 580 model is powered by a petrol
Honda GX series engine.
- Towable Design: As a towable unit, it comes
equipped with a ball hitch, wheels, and a jack stand, making it easy to
move the machine to different locations off-highway (not road towable).
