This ideal eco-friendly machine takes the grunt work out of fall leaf cleanup by shredding leaves into fine mulch. The Flex-a-Line bladeless cutting line mulching system pulverizes leaves into fine mulch. The mulcher can pack 11 standard bag fulls of leaves into a single bag, shredding them at a rate of 53 gallons per minute. The 15.4 Lb. machine sets up easily with no tools. When not in use, the mulchers compact design enables it to be conveniently stored. Its large, wide-mouth, funnel-like top fastens to the motor housing, which straddles a sturdy, circular, three-legged stand. An oversized pull-and-push on/off switch is conveniently located on the motor housings rim. The mulchers 13-amp motor generates a no-load speed of 8500 rpm and provides a 13 In. cutting swath. When it comes time to replace the 0.090 In. cutting line, simply pull the old line out and slide in the new line.
