Werk-Brau has introduced the FHX66 Defender Forestry Mulcher, a mulcher for standard flow skid steers and track loaders. Engineered to perform, this rugged mulcher eradicates materials to 10-in. in diameter with 17 gpm of hydraulic flow and 3,350 psi.
A 12-¾-in. diameter cutting drum is ¾-in. thick and fitted with 36 Quadco Quad Tooth cutter knives. Constructed of alloy steel, these one-piece 2-in. knives are rotatable with four positions (cutting edges). An abrasion resistant liner offers wear resistance and strength. High strength, cogged carbon chain timing belt provides power and torque. An electronically balanced cutter drum with serviceable hubs promotes straight shafts for reliable, vibration-free operation.
With a wide cutting width, the FHX series maximizes production with each pass. The stout FHX66 features a 54-in. working width for property maintenance, right-of-way clearing, creating and maintaining defensible spaces in wildfire zones and more.
An adjustable brush/tree bumper pushes debris into the cutting path. The FHX66 can shred material to 10 in. in diameter intermittently and 6 in. in diameter continuously. The Power unit must be equipped with ½-in. Lexan glass (or equal) and falling object protection.
Werk-Brau recently 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. For larger projects, the FHX86 is available, with a cut width of 78 in. Each FHX series mulcher is manufactured by Valley Tool but serviced through the Werk-Brau network.
