Weterings BIO CHOPPER Super Chopper Compact crop shredder for greenhouses

The Weterings BIO CHOPPER Super Chopper Compact is a self-propelled crop shredder specially developed for the fast and efficient removal of heavy greenhouse crops. Thanks to its powerful John Deere diesel engine and robust shredding unit, this machine is ideal for professional crop changeovers of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, aubergines, strawberries, soft fruit and other greenhouse crops. The Super Chopper Compact delivers significantly more power than the standard Bio Chopper Compact, making it particularly suitable for heavy crops and large growing areas.
