hi guys welcome back to our channel now today i've got the vector 4s shredder from elite
and what a beauty it is let's stop the talking and let's crack right on to it
so we always get asked what do the model numbers stand for well fundamentally 4s stands for
four seasons so this shredder is ideal for green waste composting woody waste all that
material collect throughout the year can be fed through this machine and it's fundamentally down
to the blade setup that makes this like no other shredder on the market so firstly let's have a
look at this special setup of blades we've got on this machine we've got quick easy access
just undoing the dial and that opens up the machine to show you the array of blades
so this machine is fitted with 20 serrated toothed blades
fundamentally the design principle is to drag the material in bit like a chopping principle like an
axe it will cut into the wood and drag it in as it goes but this machine also has another handy
feature up its sleeve and that is a selfie roller which we'll go through in a second
so this is the results of those blades in action as you can see nice fine compostable material
for paths or even your flower beds so this machine also has a blower spout as you can
see here it's got suction feed on this fan which will basically draw the material out the cutting
mechanism chamber and up the spout and that can be directed to anywhere you want to fire it the other
thing is worth bearing in mind that even the small domestic shredders that elite produce have the
same blade chopping principle so all you're doing is you're basically as you're going up through the
range into the more professional models you're getting more blades bigger engine bigger shoot
so the new vector shredder is a compact semi-professional shredder
that's capable up to 80 millimeters branch capacity so that's about three inches in old money
with a wheelbase of only 75 centimeters it's nice and compact to get in around driveways up paths
into back gardens and what have you and it also is fitted with a reliable 13 horsepower honda engine
the vector shredders are available in three different options you got a wheeled version a
self-propelled wheeled version and a cross-country which is a track version now this one here we've
got the self-propelled so the drive speed is altered by twisting the grip forwards
and backwards and the further you twist it the quicker you go so this machine also
has self-feeding properties so basically you put the material into the chute you leave it
once you come back the machine has already taken it in we'll show you that principle in
a moment when we start the machine up you can also alter the direction of the feed roller
so if you did get anything stuck into the machine basically you can reverse the process
pull up on that that will then reverse the feed roller when you want it to driving forward
just push down so what elite really pride their shredders on is the ability to process
material quickly and that blade set up now we're going to give it a go in a second
you'll see how quickly it coats a different variety of materials we'll put through it
right so we come back up from the garden to give our prize giveaway and i'm surrounded
here by some of the elite equipment we keep in our showroom this is the minor 4s four season shredder
and the major 4s four season shredder this is the same blade setup as the vector 4s that we
got in the video that we're doing now and this one has got 12 blades on it so 12 resist blades

in the chance to win so you've got a handy manual foot brake built in for challenging conditions
push down when you want the park brake on and when you want it back off again just pull it up
so you can adjust where you want to shoot the material and it's very simple just undo the lever
to your desired location do the lever back up and there we are ready to chip safety is always
paramount with this sort of class and machinery so you've got a very easy accessible push button
stop that will kill the engine and cut all the blades and then when you want to restart the
machine just twist the button and it will restart cool so that's enough of the specs of the machine
i've got some decent material to put through it like i said we're going to go up to about three
inches which is what this machine's capable of we've got some first of lay and eye sort of stuff
and yeah different variant sizes amount of green waste at the top as well
so enough of me waffling on let's put it through its paces
foreign
so
we've got a long bit of wood here now we'll chuck it through see how long it takes it to process it
it's probably 12 foot long
so
bit of garden waste
