DESCRIPTION

Transform your mini excavator into an elite land clearing powerhouse with the FA FAXDM Series Excavator Disc Mulcher an American-made, high-performance attachment engineered to deliver exceptional clearing efficiency in the most challenging and hard-to-reach locations. Designed specifically for mini excavator operators including land clearing contractors, forestry professionals, utility maintenance crews, municipalities, and property owners, this advanced disc mulcher combines the precision reach of excavator operation with the aggressive material processing capability of professional mulching technology.

The FAXDM Series represents a breakthrough in compact land clearing efficiency, utilizing high-speed disc mulching technology equipped with both carbide-tipped mulching teeth and four-point hardened steel teeth to pulverize trees, brush, and woody vegetation up to 7 inches in diameter into fine, uniform mulch. Unlike traditional brush cutters that simply chop material, this disc mulcher processes vegetation into exceptionally fine debris that naturally decomposes and enriches the soil eliminating post-clearing cleanup requirements and delivering pristine, professional-quality results that impress clients and reduce project costs.

What sets excavator-mounted disc mulchers apart from ground-based equipment is the unmatched ability to access challenging terrain that would be dangerous, difficult, or impossible for conventional mulchers. Position your cutting head precisely where it's needed extending over waterways to clear stream banks, reaching down steep embankments, working upward on dangerous slopes, clearing under bridges and structures, or accessing remote areas all while operating safely from the excavator cab. This combination of reach, precision, and safety transforms how you approach vegetation management in difficult locations.

Available in two optimized configurations, the FAXDM 2800 (28-inch, 625 lbs) features 22 carbide-tipped mulching teeth plus 6 four-point hardened steel teeth, offering exceptional versatility across four hydraulic flow ranges (12-16, 16-22, 22-27, 28-35 GPM) to match compact mini excavators from 1.5 to 5 tons. The FAXDM 3600 (36-inch, 890 lbs) escalates productivity with 30 carbide-tipped mulching teeth plus 6 four-point hardened steel teeth, operating efficiently at 16-22, 22-27, or 28-35 GPM flow rates, making it ideal for 3 to 8-ton mini excavators tackling larger-scale clearing projects.

The advanced hybrid tooth configuration combines the aggressive cutting action of carbide-tipped teeth with the versatility of four-point hardened steel teeth, creating a mulching system that maintains consistent performance through diverse vegetation types, soil contact, rocky conditions, and abrasive debris. The carbide-tipped teeth provide long-lasting edge retention that dramatically reduces tooth replacement frequency, while the 2-inch four-point steel teeth deliver reliable cutting from every angle of rotation.

Built with American-made quality and professional-grade durability, each disc mulcher features a robust 1/4-inch steel deck that protects critical internal components from impact damage when working along rocky streams, concrete structures, and debris-filled environments. The precision-balanced disc design ensures smooth operation, reduced vibration, and consistent material processing that outperforms drum-style mulchers in many applications.

This excavator disc mulcher excels in applications where access and terrain present challenges for conventional equipment: utility contractors clear vegetation along buried infrastructure and right-of-ways from safe positions, forestry operations perform selective thinning and trail maintenance in steep terrain, municipalities manage parks and waterways with challenging topography, highway departments clear embankments and drainage systems without endangering workers, and property owners reclaim overgrown land, manage pond banks, and control invasive vegetation efficiently.

The compact size and lighter weight of these excavator disc mulchers make them remarkably versatile perfect for residential land clearing where larger equipment cannot access, agricultural applications including fence line clearing and drainage ditch maintenance, hunting property management for creating food plots and sight lines, and commercial site preparation where precision clearing is essential.

Experience the difference that American-made engineering, innovative disc mulching technology, and excavator versatility deliver. The FA FAXDM Series Excavator Disc Mulcher doesn't just clear land it provides professional contractors and property owners with a competitive advantage in tackling jobs that challenge conventional equipment, completing projects faster, leaving superior finished results, and operating safely in locations that would put ground crews at risk.

Key Features

• Two Professional Disc Mulcher Configurations Choose the 28-inch FAXDM 2800 with 22 carbide teeth for compact excavators, or the 36-inch FAXDM 3600 with 30 carbide teeth for mid-size machines and increased productivity
• Advanced Hybrid Tooth System Combines carbide-tipped mulching teeth with six four-point hardened steel teeth (2-inch) for superior material processing, extended tooth life, and consistent performance across diverse vegetation types
• Impressive 7-Inch Cutting Capacity Powers through trees, saplings, stumps, and woody vegetation up to 7 inches in diameter, handling substantially larger material than conventional excavator brush cutters in this weight class
• Ultra-Fine Mulch Production High-speed disc technology processes material into exceptionally fine, uniform debris that naturally decomposes to enrich soil and eliminate post-clearing cleanup, burning, or debris removal costs
• Excavator Reach Advantage Leverage your mini excavator's boom and stick to position the mulcher over water, down embankments, up slopes, under structures accessing terrain impossible for ground-based mulching equipment
• Multiple Hydraulic Flow Options FAXDM 2800 available in four flow ranges (12-16, 16-22, 22-27, 28-35 GPM); FAXDM 3600 operates at 16-22, 22-27, or 28-35 GPM—ensuring optimal compatibility with 1.5 to 8-ton mini excavators
• Carbide-Tipped Longevity Premium carbide-tipped mulching teeth maintain cutting sharpness through abrasive soil contact, rocky conditions, and tough vegetation, reducing replacement frequency and lowering long-term operating costs
• American-Made Quality Engineered and manufactured in the USA with premium materials and precision craftsmanship, delivering reliability, performance, and support that imports cannot match
• Professional 1/4-Inch Steel Deck Heavy-duty steel deck construction protects internal disc components from impact damage when working along rocky waterways, concrete infrastructure, and debris-filled right-of-ways
• Optimized Weight Distribution Carefully engineered weights of 625 lbs and 890 lbs maintain proper excavator balance during extended-reach operations, ensuring controlled, stable mulching performance on challenging terrain
