Werk-Brau has introduced the FX26 Forestry Mulcher, a rugged and durable forestry mulcher for excavators from 8,000 to 16,000 lbs. This stout mulcher has a direct coupled motor which provides power during use.
A heavy wall 14-in. rotor is fitted with 21 fixed knives to shred brush, limbs and standing trees to 6 in. in diameter. The bite-limiting tooth design maintains drum speed and prevents stalling. Material is passed through two breaker bars to create fine mulch. The FX26 weighs 785 lbs. and requires 15-35 gpm of hydraulic flow to power the gear motor but features a 26-in. working width for production. With two grease points and no additional drive components, this simple design can be maintained on jobsites.
The lightweight yet durable construction, coupled with low hydraulic flow requirements allow the FX26 to be paired with various excavator models down to 8,000 lbs. It serves as an entry-level tool for contractors expanding into brush clearing, land management, urban fire defense clearing, right-of-way clearing and more.
A universal bolt-on mount is included with each mulcher (Tag or WainRoy mounts excluded but available at additional cost). Each FX26 includes 100 in. of hydraulic lines and ¾-in. flat faced couplers. A case drain is not required.
Werk-Brau partnered with Valley Tool Manufacturing to provide Werk-Brau branded BrushHound mulchers, brush shredders and flail mowers and RockHound landscape rakes through Werk-Brau’s nationwide dealer network. Each FX26 mulcher is manufactured by Valley Tool but serviced through the Werk-Brau network.
