As a chipper, the Wichita can reduce 3" limbs into a pile of evenly sized wood chips at the rate of 96 bites per second. The Wichita is built with a heavy duty, 20" shredder cylinder and 24 re- versible fixed carbon steel hammers. The chipper flywheel is 1/2" -thick structural steel with two heat-treated, tool -steel blades. The cast iron main- frame adds to the machine's stability. Other features include: an 8 hp Briggs & Stratton (IC engine optional), centrifugal clutch, four big pneumatic tires, and an easy -grip "T" handle. Loose organic matter such as leaves and brush can be fed through the large bushel -sized hopper and the rotating hammers will shred, break, tear, and grind the matter instantly.

Pr88 is a combination of glycerine and beeswax applied before you begin work. It's non-toxic, non -allergenic, even safe to ingest. It's also water sol- uble, and does not wear off, transfer, or wipe away in the course of work. It prevents dirt and substances such as solvents, paints, varnishes, grease, oil, gasoline, glues, fibreglass, epoxies, and cement from bonding with the skin. Only warm or cold water is required to remove pr88 and all clinging dirt from the skin, usually in 20 seconds or less.
