Abstract
A shredding apparatus includes a shredding drum capable of quickly and effectively clearing large tracts of land. Several cutter blocks are positioned in axial rows across the periphery of the drum and are secured to the drum by welding. The blocks in each row are evenly spaced from one another and may be offset from the axial direction of the drum by angle of between about 4°°and about 10°. Each of the blocks includes a cutter tooth. Each tooth includes a shank that is removably anchored in a hole in each block. The teeth are typically reinforced with an extension projecting back from the face. The blocks are placed around the drum to enable the teeth collectively to fully sweep the ground surface during each revolution of the drum.
