Powerful mulcher

March 30, 2011 – The Bradco Magnum Land Clearing Mulcher by Paladin
Construction Group powers the drum at speeds up to 2,000 RPM to shred
trees, brush and ground vegetation up to eight inches in diameter.
Attaching to excavators, skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders,
it is available in widths of 36, 60 and 72 inches, depending on the
machine and application. Fixed hammers hold a variety of carbide
single-, double-, claw- and reversible-tooth configurations, so you can
pick the ideal combination to match your terrain and vegetation.

The mulcher utilizes a hydraulically driven,
self-aligning, cogged belt drive that is designed at 200 per cent of the
rated horsepower to minimize belt slippage and breakage. Its balanced,
thick wall drum has a 2.5-inch alloy steel shaft to handle rugged
vegetation without bending or breaking. Adjustable skid plates set
operating height to keep the drum out of the dirt and maximize mulching
power. The multiple-position push bar helps keep material in the drum
area for effective mulching.

The 60- and 72-inch skid steer models offer a hydraulic deflector door
to control the particle size and discharge direction. The four-inch
hydraulic pressure gauge can also be easily seen to help the operator
better monitor mulching performance. For rigorous applications, extended
use or large jobs, an optional oil cooler is available to minimize oil
heating. It is mounted on the mulcher’s hood, doesn’t require additional hydraulic
connections and includes a check valve that protects against reverse oil
flow.

The 36-inch excavator model utilizes a patent pending tree stabilization
guide. It supports standing trees while cutting from the top down. This
limits the tree deflection during the cutting process to enhance
control and increase productivity.
