The FX26 Defender Forestry Mulcher is a fixed-tooth cutter that weighs only 750 pounds. It is designed to operate on the standard thumb circuit on all 8,000 - 20,000-pound compact and mini excavators. Its quadco syle cutter knives have four positions and will make short work of trees up to 6 inches in diameter as well as vines, grasses and other material. Operating on hydraulic flows as low as 15-17 gallons per minute and 3000 psi; this means your power units do not require any modifications. Hours and hours of testing the four sided Quadco knife on large, hard, and soft woods, has proved that shredding 8" material is not a problem. Features like discharge curtain, integrated thumb saddle, bearing protection, direct drive, hoses and couplers, bolt on mount, and curb appeal are always standard on our machines. Since the FX26 Defender was conceived as a means to bring a power intensive capability to a low horsepower platform, not sacrificing the 10% was imperative and is just one of many design factors that made the FX26 Defender Forestry Cutter possible. This excavator mulcher was designed to easily cut through an environment of dense heavy brush and trees. The cutter drum provides the torque necessary to finely mulch wood or shred through vines. This engineered design minimizes wear on drive components and keeps the hydraulic system cool compared to other hydraulic intensive attachments.
