Loftness lightweight Battle Ax mulching head for compact excavators

Loftness has expanded its line of Battle Ax mulching heads with the new 10 Series. Featuring a lightweight yet heavy-duty design, it can be used on smaller excavators ranging from 7,000 to 10,000 pounds. Like other products in the Battle Ax line, the 10 Series rotor has an innovative depth-gauge design. The depth gauges, which function like raker teeth on a chain saw, optimize the amount of material being fed into the drum at one time, resulting in easier operation, faster production and more desirable particle sizes. Additionally, the 10 Series includes the exclusive Loftness two-stage cutting chamber, which is designed to use two shear bars to help process material more thoroughly than competitive mulching heads. The 10 Series Battle Ax is powered by a 45cc fixed- displacement gear motor, which requires 20 to 70 hydraulic horsepower and 15 to 35.9 GPM hydraulic flow to operate.
