Manitou Group has introduced its most powerful, heavy-duty brush mulcher, Part Number: 55067116 to its offering of attachments. The new brush mulcher features a variable two-speed Yamaha motor capable of handling 10-inch material when the attachment is operating at 40 gpm or up to 18-inch material when operating at 75 gpm — making it an excellent option for demanding brush and tree clearing jobs.
This attachment has an overall width of 75 inches with a 60-inch rotor width and weighs 2,975 pounds.
The new brush mulcher features an 18.5-inch rotor and compact angled frame constructed of T1 alloy tool steel for maximum strength. The combination provides additional rollback of the pusher bar to allow the mulching head to fell standing trees. This premium push bar with directional felling hooks also gives the operator control to move wayward trees and branches to a desired location. The rear of the unit is guarded by a 3/8-inch-thick curtain chain, so standing brush enters the attachment and mulched debris exits.
Bolt-in, replaceable internal AR400 steel wear plates come standard to increase the brush mulcher’s durability, while a wire protection kit safeguards the rotor and shaft from fencing wire. Manitou added more features to improve the brush mulcher’s durability and extend the life of the attachment, including a spring-loaded hose support with greaseable pin; armored and sleeved hoses to protect against pinching or chafing; and a reinforced, gusseted skid steer plate. The attachment is also powder coated for additional protection.
The new brush mulcher features a large pressure gauge that allows the operator to see and maintain optimal flow/performance, and the operator can easily change the adjustable belt tensioner — simply loosen the bolts, set and torque.
