Depth Gauges – The Battle Ax rotor design uses built-in depth gauges to control cutting depth, like raker teeth on a chainsaw.
2-Stage Cutting Chamber – 2 shear bars allow the Battle Ax to produce a finer mulch with fewer passes. The primary shear bar is adjustable to control particle sizes. The secondary shear bar is replaceable.
Convenient Tooth Mounting – The cutting teeth are mounted to the rotor with a single bolt. They can be easily reversed, replaced, or removed on the jobsite using a common hex socket.
High-Performance Teeth Options – Choose from 3 cutting tooth options: Quadco Reversible Planer Teeth, Hard-Surfaced Quadco Reversible Planer Teeth & Double Carbide Teeth
V-Drive Variable-Displacement Piston Motor – The V-Drive uses a variable-displacement piston motor, which automatically shifts the rotor RPM from the highest speed to a lower range for increased torque, as needed. The result is less stalling and shorter recovery time, helping operators focus on the job instead of power settings and constant head repositioning. This motor uses power more effectively as head RPM increases under lighter loads, allowing operators to quickly slice through smaller or more flexible growth and back-drag material on the ground. As larger trees, trunks, and stumps are engaged, the motor increases the drive displacement to increase torque.
Synchronous Belt Drive – The position drive, cog belt, and sprocket design maximizes efficiency and requires less maintenance than other drive types.
Machined Anti-Wrap Bearing Protector – Rotor ends are machine-turned to mate with close tolerance, machined anti-wrap rings, which minimize debris in the bearing chamber.
Replaceable Skid Shoes — 17" Diameter Rotor — 1" Rotor Tube Wall — 2 1/2" Piloted Double Taper Roller Bearings
Manual or Hydraulic Push Bar – A hydraulic or manually adjustable push bar is available. Constructed with integrated, welded claw hooks, the bar helps push falling trees and brush away from the power unit while keeping them properly positioned for efficient feeding into the head.
Performance Monitoring – An integrated PSI gauge monitors the hydraulic load and is positioned for easy viewing from the cab. It helps keep the Battle Ax at the optimum hydraulic load for peak performance throughout an application.
Custom Hydraulic Valve – A high-pressure relief valve protects the Battle Ax from pressure spikes at the source. It also includes an anti-cavitation shutdown circuit.
Premium Strength Steel Housing – All body components are laser-cut from premium strength steel. Abrasion-resistant steel is used in high-wear areas.
Steel Deflector Chains – Running the entire length of the mulching attachment, steel deflector chains improve safety by reducing flying debris.
Maximum Visibility – The Battle Ax is designed for maximum visibility from the cab, which increases safety, productivity, and efficiency.
2-Year Warranty – The Battle Ax comes standard with an industry-leading 2-year warranty.
