Loftness Battle Ax Mulching Attachment

March 9, 2018

Battle Ax mulching attachment for 7- to 15-ton excavators features a new rotor, a two-stage cutting chamber, and a direct-drive variable displacement piston motor.

It is designed for vegetation management, including right-of-way maintenance, land clearing, and forestry applications, and available with 41-, 51- and 61-inch cutting widths. A 17-inch-diameter rotor has built-in depth gauges, which function similarly to raker teeth on chainsaws to prevent the attachment from engaging too much material at one time. The variable displacement piston motor is directly mounted to the rotor with an anti-vibration coupler to eliminate drive belts and reduce overall maintenance concerns for the mulching attachment.
