A new tilt hitch is available for 20- and 30-series Battle Ax excavator mulching heads from Loftness. It allows operators to hydraulically tilt the mulching head on the boom for greater versatility and enhanced productivity on the job site.
When equipped with the tilt hitch, a mulching head can be tilted up to 45 degrees to the left or right. Other advantages include a lightweight, simplistic design.
Tilting the mulching head allows an operator to fully expose the knives when cutting into trees. Additionally, trees can be held in place for faster mulching performance by tilting and positioning the head so that the shear bar rests against the tree to prevent it from wobbling. When ground mulching, the head can also be tilted in a way to keep material from ejecting out the back or to help pick material off the ground for further processing.
The 20- and 30-series Battle Ax attachments from Loftness are compatible with excavators ranging from 10,000 to 36,000 pounds.
