The Yardvark is a combination chipper/shredder/leaf vacuum and is powered by a Briggs & Stratton motor. It has a large vacuum hose that sucks the leaves up and into the bag, when useing the chipper it puts the chipped wood into the bag. My Grandfather purchased it several years ago and never used it once, my Dad inherited it and he maybe used it 6 or 8 times before his health declined. It was winterized and stored away in the fall of 2007, I don't know much about this it is piece of equipment other than it is in outstanding condition and looks like new. Item would need to be picked locally. Location: Jeffersonville IN it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests kentucky
