Product details
The STIHL Electric Shredder GHE 250 S is designed for anyone looking to regularly shred bulky branches or medium-sized limbs and tough hedge trimmings. It offers a balanced combination of throughput power and mobility. Its sandwich cutting system, featuring pre-shredders, tearing knives, and reversible cutting blades, can break down thicker branches up to 35 mm in diameter into fine mulch. The multi-cutting system is powered by a robust electric motor that quietly and safely pulls the material through the noise-insulated feed chute. With this garden shredder, you can also shred soft green waste and leaves, creating a nutrient-rich mix for your compost. The STIHL GHE 250 S can be easily tilted and conveniently moved on its transport wheels to its next location with just a few simple steps.
