Auger Torque Variable Mulchers

VM1000 & VM1500

 

Suitable for excavators and skid steer loaders, the Auger Torque Variable Mulchers provide a working width of up to 1.5m. Both the VM1000 & VM1500 have the unique feature of being able to change the drum on-site, adapting quickly between parent machines for maximum versatility & flexibility on the job, without having to return to the yard.

 

The ability to attach a skid steer frame and excavator hitch at the same time, along with a removable pressure gauge & push bar allows for easy adaptation between parent machines when out on site. The fixed tungsten teeth drum gives a robust blunt cutting edge for grinding through thick timber, hedges and branches. The swinging hammer teeth drum gives a cleaner, more precise cut for dense bushes, smaller trees & even slashing grass.

TEETH OPTIONS

SWINGING HAMMER TEETH

 

The swinging hammer teeth drum features spade like steel teeth with a long horizontal cutting edge. This edge gives a cleaner cutting performance on soft materials like hedges, resulting in a more level surface finish after cutting. The more bladed cutting edge is especially useful for tough but stringy materials like brambles.

 

The swinging mount allows the teeth to pivot backwards when they do impact a particularly solid object. This reduces the shock to the tooth and to the drum.
Paddles are also better suited when working close to the ground in rocky environments as they can bounce back if they strike a rock or hard surface. For lighter duty work where clean cutting of soft vegetation is required, e.g. reshaping dense hedgerows or processing hedge and branch trimmings into mulch the hammer tooth is an ideal choice.

FIXED TUNGSTEN TEETH

 

The fixed solid steel teeth feature tungsten tips with a robust blunt cutting edge. The tungsten teeth are the toughest and most versatile option, grinding through the thickest solid timber up to several inches thick, but will also function on smaller lighter material like hedges and tree branches.
For the heaviest duty jobs requiring completely clearing trees from an area or for mulching felled timber into chippings the fixed tooth is the best option.
