Fecon released a new low-flow mulcher head for use with most standard skid-steer loaders, Avant-type wheel loaders and others carriers that are able to provide 17-27 gpm of hydraulic flow, have enclosed cabs that can be properly protected with the appropriate polycarbonate guarding and have the ability to carry the 1300-pound attachment.
The new mulcher head features 22 knife or carbide-type cutting tools and has a 50-inch working width. Operating from 2400 to 3600 rpm, it can shred brush and small trees up to 4 inches in diameter, making it useful for rental fleets as well as landscapers, arborists, farmers, ranchers, land owners/property managers, parks and recreational facilities, municipalities, Christmas tree farms and others tasked with managing brush and vegetation, according to the company.
Weighing just 1300 pounds with a mounting plate and push bar, this new mulcher head is easily handled by the carrier, yet stout enough to provide a long service life. Overall width is approximately 60 inches with a cutting width of 50 inches, and the overall height is 52 inches, with a depth of 33 inches. It’s adaptable with varying mounting plates to fit several types of carriers.
