Advanced Forest
There are
two model lines of the rotary disc mulcher (RDM) available from
Advanced
Forest. The EX series is designed for excavators and the SS series is
for skid steers. Both models operate using the same rotary disc
technology—a high rpm disc with sharp cutting teeth and a reduction
shroud. The philosophy behind rotary disc technology is to create a
cutting and mulching head that operates off of the existing flow and
controls of the carrier. The head must be lightweight, connect with ease
and be efficient enough to operate off of as little as 19 gpm’s. The RDM
is versatile, efficient and durable enough to endure the everyday rigors
of forestry work.

Promac
Promac Manufacturing is introducing the Model 50 HS series, drum-type
mulching
cutter.
HS 50 series units feature a balanced horizontal arbour shaft. The unit
is designed to work on the 25 to 45 metric tonne class excavator. Promac
HS 50 mulchers require a pressure compensated minimum flow of 50 gpm up
to a maximum pressure of 4500 psi. The cutter can be supplied with drive
motors requiring up to 70 gpm for use on larger excavators.

Blount
Manufactured by Blount Inc, the Hydro-Ax 721E (225 hp) and 421E (185 hp)
are
equipped
with a hydrostatic drive and a hydrostatic-powered attachment. Up to 165
hp can be routed to the attachment, an important consideration when
clearing for oil and gas pipelines, roadside right-of-way or brush
abatement for power lines or fire breaks. Floatation tires are available
to reduce ground disturbance in sensitive areas. The deluxe cab is ROPS,
FOPS, OPS rated with air conditioning, knee action seat and
tilt/telescoping steering. For daily maintenance, large hood panels
provide easy access, and a hydraulic tilt cab exposes the drive
components. An optional hydraulic quick-hitch is available to quickly
change attachments to a high-speed saw, stump grinder, tree spade or
snow blade.

Loftness
The Loftness/US Attachments Timber Ax is an all-new
design for selectively
cutting
and mulching unwanted trees or brush. What makes the Timber Ax unique is
the rotor design. It uses reverse rotation—knives rotate upward on the
front side of the rotor, utilizing rigid, sharpened blades in
combination with an adjustable shear bar. This lifts materials off the
ground, improving cutting action, reducing hp requirements and
minimizing knife wear. The revolutionary new rotor design with rigid,
replaceable, sharpened blades maximizes the use of hydraulic hp, greatly
reducing their angle of attack. The Timber Ax leaves a clean job site by
mowing grass and weeds while mulching brush and trees finer than
conventional rotary cutters or competitive shredders, the company says.
The Timber Ax allows operators to cut up to 6” trees, with reserve
capacity to handle larger trees when needed, with as little as 38
hydraulic hp.

Hakmet
Hakmet offers the MERI crushers, ideal for crushing
slash, clearing track and
preparing
fire safety lanes. It features extra hard carbide teeth, and has a low
power demand compared to its crushing capacity. The crusher is able to
crush up to 25 cm (10”) below ground level depending on the model. The
design of the crusher is module-based so purchasers can choose the right
equipment for their specific needs. The MERI crusher is equipped with a
built-in safety clutch that protects the transmission components from
too high torque peaks. All models can be equipped with double
transmission (DT) so they can be used on tractors up to 280 hp. The
crusher can be used both for down-cutting or counter milling. Strong
construction enables the use of both small and big tractors, and the
pressure operated safety clutch saves time, repair costs and the cost of
oversized power transfer components.

Marden
Industries
Marden’s
precision-engineered cutters are tough, easy to operate and offer low
maintenance. Only abrasive resistant steel is used on the machines and
Marden
offers
the largest, most diverse model section available, says the company.
Machines are available from a 4’ to 10’ drum and from 1,000 to 60,000
lbs.
Marden’s Hi-Lo reversible blade design is efficient and effective,
resulting in greater cutting power and pulverizing action, and longer
blade life. The alloy steel bolt-on stub axles and bearing carriers,
along with Timkin tapered roller bearings, are a Marden exclusive. They
are used on all their cutters and are easily replaceable without welding
or cutting. The Marden machines cut vegetation above ground and scarify
the soil to retard run-off, conserve ground level moisture and
accelerate decomposition. Options include spare tire mount, aircraft
tires, welded cylinders, Rome style disc gangs, and more.

Slashbuster
The patented
Slashbuster extreme service brushcutter shreds up to 18” diameter
trees
with ease. Its integrated material handler can be used to move boulders
and logs, rake, pile and load debris. The machine adapts to any 10
to 20 ton excavator, requires no auxiliary engine, and a bucket can be
swapped in minutes. It has variable chip size, for fast chunking or
park-like effect, and is available with a patented third boom that more
than doubles the reach. And it’s also economical—teeth cost less than
one dollar per hour of operation. The company’s web site contains
some interesting video; check out the automobile shredding video. In
less than seven minutes, an entire car (including engine block) was
obliterated, yet the Slashbuster brushcutter showed no significant
damage or wear.

Rayco
Whether the property is comprised of standing trees, scrub brush, or
debris
left from forest harvesting, the Rayco FM7260 reduces even large
vegetation
to mulch.
The
extra heavy-duty construction of the 8000 lb (3628.67kg) mower meets
the rigorous demands of large-scale forestry mowing and provides
longevity
and lower operating costs. Dual drivelines power the 93” (236 cm) long
and 26” (66 cm) diameter rotor. The forward rotation of the cutting
tools distributes the processed material downward, while the pushbar
directs fallen trees in front of the mower to be mulched with the
forward progress of the prime mover.
Rayco also offers four brush chippers, the RC 6D, RC 12, RC 12D and the
RC 20XP. They range from 25 hp and a 6” diameter chipping capacity to
the RC 20XP’s 225 hp and 20” diameter chipping capacity.
