Powerful & Reliable Loncin Engine
The Cobra CHIP650LE is a high-performance wood chipper designed to make light work of garden debris. At its core is a robust 6.5hp, 196cc Loncin engine, renowned for its reliability and power. A key feature is the electric start system, which eliminates the strain of pull-starting and ensures the machine is ready to go at the turn of a key, making it particularly suitable for users who value convenience and ease of use.
Efficient Chipping Performance
This machine is small and compact but powerful enough to shred branches up to a significant 80mm (3″) in diameter. The chipping mechanism utilises twin reversible blades, which are not only effective but also offer an extended service life; when one side becomes dull, they can be reversed to use a fresh cutting edge. This makes the CHIP650LE a formidable tool for homeowners with large gardens, smallholdings, or allotments looking to convert prunings and branches into valuable mulch or compost material.
Designed for Safety and Convenience
Cobra has incorporated several thoughtful features into the CHIP650LE. A unique hinged chute provides straightforward access to the blades for cleaning and maintenance, a task that can often be cumbersome on other models. For user safety, an emergency safety brake is fitted as standard. The chipper also includes an hour meter to help keep track of usage for timely servicing. To ensure you have everything needed to get started safely, the package includes ear, eye, and hand protection, as well as a protective cover for storage.
