Baumalight Fixed Tooth Mulcher | Model MX548R | Rotor Width 48" | Machine Size 7 To 22 Tons | For Excavators
DESCRIPTION
When your job site throws down a challenge, the Baumalight MX548R Fixed Tooth Mulcher answers with brute strength and precise performance. Built for excavators ranging from 7 to 22 tons, this forestry mulcher doesn’t just cut it conquers thick brush, tangled fence lines, embedded rocks, and stubborn tree roots.
Engineered with a 48-inch rotor width and a heavy-duty AR400 steel body, the MX548R delivers durability without added weight. Its integrated root rake ripper teeth tear through debris and uproot obstacles, saving time and passes. Choose between planer or ripper-style carbide teeth for optimal performance across varying terrains and brush densities.
Ideal for entry-level land clearing contractors, utility workers, forestry professionals, and excavator owners, this mulcher offers a true plug-and-play solution purpose-built for below-grade mulching, fence line clearing, and tough terrain reclamation.
Backed by advanced hydraulic protection, spiral tooth patterns for smoother operation, and locally available service parts, the MX548R makes mulching faster, smarter, and more cost-effective.
