That's pretty much it. That blade in the first pic cuts up everything before it gets to the housing with the 12 hammers or flails. It's footprint is pretty much on par with a large self propelled mower. Certainly no large home here, just lots of trees, shrubs and hedges as well as that of my neighbours. If I were a rich man I would like a little Red Roo or Hansa chipper to take some bigger stuff.
