They include the Horizontal Shredder, Haulm Toppers, Vertical Axis Shredders, Wood Grinders, Wood Chippers, Flail Mowers, Hedge Mowers, Forestry Mowers and many more. The latest versions of all these farm equipment and heavy duty machines run on motors with various power classes depending on the type of work the equipment is meant for.
