Product Description
Baumalight Fixed Tooth Mulcher | Model MX548R | Rotor Width 48" | Carbide Tipped Bolt In Cutting | Weight 2167 Lbs | For Excavators
DESCRIPTION
As with the standard MX548, the MX548R is a brush mulcher for excavators, designed to maintain and clear fence lines and entry level contractor work. The difference is aggressive root rake ripper teeth build into the frame to rip out rocks and move logs and has a heavier duty body built with AR400 steel that is the same weight but much stronger than mild steel. All 500 series Baumalight brush mulchers are offered with two different type of cutting teeth. The Planer style teeth take small bites and provide the most efficient mulching and cutting. The Ripper style teeth have more of a shredding mulching action. Their v-shaped design makes them less susceptible to impacts with hard objects like stones, making them the better choice when mulching below grade and in fence lines. See our brush cutting size chart to see what brush size this excavator mounted forestry mulcher can handle.
Key Features
-
Aggressive Root Rake Ripper Teeth: Built into the frame to rip out rocks and move logs.
-
Heavier Duty Body: Constructed with AR400 steel, which is the same weight but much stronger than mild steel.
-
Two Types of Cutting Teeth:
-
Planer Style Teeth: Take small bites and provide the most efficient mulching and cutting.
-
Ripper Style Teeth: Have a shredding mulching action and a v-shaped design, making them less susceptible to impacts with hard objects like stones. Ideal for mulching below grade and in fence lines.
-
INTEGRATED SKID SHOES
These durable skid shoes help the Brush Fire to better float over the ground for optimal mulching action.
V-Notch
The force and impact of mulching bends the teeth. Our V-Notch teeth and hardened holders won’t let that happen. Held firmly in place to absorb impacts from multiple directions the V-Notch keeps the teeth chewing up the toughest brush.
Hardened Teeth Holders
Designed to handle the punishment, these heavy-duty teeth holders resist bending and keep you on the path of destruction longer.
6 FREE TEETH
All MX548R Brush Mulchers come with a free set of 6 replacement teeth. These replacement teeth are conveniently shipped in a robust enclosed compartment on top of the frame.
Optional 500 Series Ripper Teeth
The 500 Series teeth come in two carbide tipped styles; Planer and Ripper. The Planer style teeth take small bites and provide the most efficient mulching and cutting. The Ripper style teeth have more of a shredding mulching action. Their v-shaped design makes them less susceptible to impacts with hard objects like stones, making them the better choice when mulching below grade and in fence lines. Both styles are Bolt-on replaceable for quick and easy servicing and replacement even in the field.
All units shipped with Standard P5000 Series Planer Teeth only and ripper teeth can be installed as the planer teeth need replacing. Units can be operated with a mix of Planer and Ripper teeth.
Spiral Tooth Pattern
For smoother mulching, the spiral tool pattern allows one tooth to engage at a time.
Root rake teeth
The MX548R are equipped with a root rake for pushing fallen logs or other debris out of the way. These are replaceable bucket-style scrapper teeth.
Overtorque Protection - Relief Valve
The relief valve protects the motor and the hydraulic system from pressure spikes. When an obstacle is hit the relief valves open and relieves the pressure.
REINFORCED BELT
A heavy duty reinforced belt delivers the force from the gear box to the rotor. Not only does this belt refuse to back down in the face of dense brush, it also offers protection from the shocks inherent in mulching.
Wire Protection Kit
Protective steel cover that prevents damage from wire fencing.
Chain Curtain
The rear of the unit is guarded by a chain curtain so standing brush enters and mulched debris exits.
Heavy duty frame
Heavy duty frame with T1 alloy tool steel sheet metal for all the main areas. Powder coated frame with multiple anti-slip pads to give you secure footing for ease of entry and exit from your cab.
Powdered Coated
Our powder coat finish is much tougher than conventional paint to stand up to the rigors of mulching and helps prevent rusting.
BENT AXIS PISTON MOTOR
Our industry leading bent axis piston motors make the most use of your hydraulic flow and pressure for your brush clearing needs.
VIEW OUR HELPFUL COUPLER SIZING CHART
Couplers must be ordered separately as we do not supply hydraulic couplers with product due to the variety carrier specifications.
Hydraulic Flow & Pressure Database
For your convenience Baumalight has Developed a PSI Flow and Pressure database with over 1000 different carrier models to help you decide the best Baumalight model for your machine.
overHung Load Adapter (bearing support)
The Brushfire uses an overhung load adapter which is designed with tapered roller bearings to stand up to the rigors of heavy mulching.
