Easy to Load Shredding Hopper
Patriot’s CSV-2525HE has a large hopper to allow easy loading of leaves and vegetative material into the machine for shredding. The opening at the top of the hopper is 16″ long and 14″ wide so you can easily deposit debris for processing.
See video of Patriot products in action
Just for reference, the opening at the base of the hopper narrows to 7″ long x 2″ wide. So if you were hoping to shred whole coconuts or grapefruit, this isn’t the machine for you. |

Tapered Chipping Cone
Patriot’s CSV-2525HE has a tapered chipping cone that makes it easy to feed rigid materials such as branches and sunflower or corn stalks into the chipper. The opening at the top of the cone is 7″ in diameter so you can easily deposit debris for processing without pruning them down to perfectly straight pieces with no offshoots.

The opening at the base of the cone limits the diameter of materials to be chipped to 2 ½”. |

Heavy Rotor
Now that your yard waste has safely entered our electric wood chipper leaf shredder it meets a formidable opponent, the rotor. Weighing in at just over 13 pounds and measuring roughly 12″ in diameter, this is where things happen!
In this photo you see the front of the rotor and this unit’s one chipping knife (painted blue here for ease of identification). Patriot’s chipping knives are made of high quality tool steel, selected for its toughness, and are heat treated for wear resistance. Spinning past the end of the chipping cone the chipping knife is ready, willing, and able to turn your freshly pruned branches into coin-sized chips that make great mulch. Single handedly, this knife can reduce the volume of your freshly pruned branches by as much as 20:1. To sharpen the knife, simply remove the 3 nuts that attach the chipper cone to the housing and the 2 screws that attach the knife to the rotor. Sharpen using a simple wet stone or high quality file.

It merits taking a moment here to point out that any wood chipper that uses chipping knives is designed to process FRESHLY CUT BRANCHES. The chipping knives are able to slice through this fresh material which makes for smoother, faster, easier chipping. We realize that everyone gets the occasional dead branch that falls out of a tree that needs to be chipped and the unit can handle those occasional branches. However, you will be sorely disappointed if you are intending to purchase this chipper to get rid of that mountain of nearly petrified wood that your spouse has been nagging you about for years.
While the chipper knife does its job with a touch of finesse, the y-hammers (painted blue here for ease of identification) are the bullies of the chipper shredder rotor. These six thick, heavy, hardened pieces of steel will beat and tear apart material dropped in the hopper. Dried leaves will be pulverized and slightly greener materials will be beaten to a pulp. Working together, the y-hammers provide a volume reduction of about 8:1 for leaves.

Innovative Power Source
What truly sets this machine apart is its exceptional commercial-grade power system. Experience top-tier performance with a 2.4 hp DC power unit made by Honda!

Greasable Outboard Bearing
The greasable outboard bearing is one of the key features in the success of Patriot’s direct drive chipper shredder design. The bearing supports the outer end of the rotor shaft and takes a significant amount of weight and stress off of the motor shaft. Less stress on the motor shaft translates into smoother chipping and longer motor life.
NOTE: THE OUTBOARD BEARING OF YOUR PATRIOT WOOD CHIPPER SHOULD BE LUBRICATED AFTER EVERY 20 HOURS OF OPERATION. |
|
Direct Drive
Thanks to the use of our outboard bearing, Patriot is able to attach the rotor directly to the motor shaft. Most importantly this means more power! By not transferring power between belts and pulleys we do not lose power between the motor and the rotor. This also translates into no belts to break, fewer parts, less weight, and a more compact design. |
|
Compact Size
Patriot’s chipper shredder design is very compact. At 24″ wide, 35″ long, and 37″ high, the unit requires little more space in your garage than a typical garbage can. The Patriot CSV is also small enough to fit into common vehicles such as mini vans and SUVs. |
|
Light Weight
Weighing only 128 pounds the Patriot chipper shredder is one of the lightest units available. This makes the unit much easier to maneuver around your property or load into a vehicle for transport. |
|
Side Discharge
Patriot’s chippers discharge processed material out of a side discharge on the unit. Use the convenient standard collection bag provided to collect the processed material and carry it to the location of your choice. If you prefer, the airflow through our unit will allow you to discharge the material a few feet away from the machine such as into a tree line.
Most of our competitors simply discharge the processed material into a pile on the ground at the base of the unit requiring it to be collected and moved in a separate operation. |
|
Standard Collection Bag Included
Patriot provides a standard collection bag with all of its chipper shredders. This makes cleanup a breeze and allows you to easily transport the material you’ve processed.
Most of our competitors make you purchase a collection bag as an accessory, if they even offer one. |
|
No Screens Required
Patriot’s chipper shredders turn your yard waste into fine mulch or composting material without the use of messy screens. This means no extra parts to keep track of and no screens to get clogged.

Minimal Assembly Required
Our products are designed with the average homeowner in mind. The CSV-2525HE ships via LTL Freight in four (4) boxes strapped to one (1) pallet. The pallet measures roughly 36″ long x 36″ wide x 54″ high and weighs about 240 pounds. For residential deliveries, the freight company will contact you to schedule a delivery appointment.
The first package contains the factory assembled lower mechanical portion of the unit. For shipping purposes, some items such as the shredder hopper, chipper cone, and assembly hardware bag are packaged separately in the second box. If you ordered spare-parts or accessories along with your unit, they are often also shipped in this box. The last two boxes contain the battery and battery charger. There are only a few screws and nuts to install to finish assembling your unit. Assembly is very simple and typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Detailed instructions are provided.
