Fuel Chip Attachment FCA

Designed for use with Vermeer HG6000 or HG6000TX horizontal grinders equipped with the Series II Duplex Drum, the fuel chip attachment changes the action of the cutting drum from ripping and shredding to a chipping action — offering the ability to produce a more uniformly sized end product.
