The C40E is designed to process compatible tree branches and limbs up to approximately 4 inches in diameter.

Its large 15.9-inch flywheel helps maintain momentum as material enters the cutting chamber, while the longer cutting blades provide the cutting surface needed for larger branches.

Actual performance will vary with wood species, moisture content, branch shape, and material hardness.
