Product Description

Werk-Brau Brush Hound FX Defender Mulcher | Model FX26, FX36 & FX46 | Width 26–46" | 15–70 GPM | 4–34 Tons | For Excavator

DESCRIPTION

The Werk-Brau Brush Hound FX Defender Excavator Mulcher delivers powerful, efficient vegetation management for compact, mini, and mid-sized excavators. Engineered for forestry, land clearing, right-of-way maintenance, logging cleanup, property maintenance, and wildfire defensible-space preparation, the FX Series combines rugged construction with efficient hydraulic performance. Available in FX26, FX36, and FX46 models, cutting widths range from 26" to 46", with hydraulic flow requirements from 15–70 GPM. Depending on the model, the mulchers can process vegetation and woody material up to 6", 8", or 10" in diameter. Features including Quadco QUAD TOOTH® cutter knives, hydraulic direct drive, electronically balanced cutter drums, and heavy-duty frames provide dependable cutting performance and simplified maintenance. Built in the USA, the FX Defender Series is designed for demanding vegetation-clearing applications.

Key Features

  • Powerful Excavator Mulching Designed for compact, mini, and mid-sized excavators, the FX Defender Series provides efficient vegetation management for forestry, land clearing, right-of-way clearing, logging cleanup, and property maintenance applications.
  • Three Model Options Choose from the FX26, FX36, or FX46 to match excavator size, hydraulic flow, cutting width, and material capacity. Cutting widths range from 26" to 46", providing flexibility across different job requirements.
  • High-Capacity Brush Cutting Process demanding vegetation with cutting capacities of up to 6" on the FX26, 8" on the FX36, and 10" on the FX46, making the series suitable for heavy brush, vines, grasses, trees, and woody debris.
  • Efficient Direct Drive The hydraulic direct-drive system transfers power efficiently to the cutter drum while maximizing available torque. The design also reduces maintenance requirements compared with belt-driven mulching systems.
  • Quadco QUAD TOOTH® Knives Durable one-piece steel alloy cutter knives are designed for demanding mulching work. Depending on the model, knives can be rotated through multiple positions to help simplify service and extend usable cutting life.
  • Electronically Balanced Drum The FX Defender features an electronically balanced cutter drum designed for smooth operation and reduced vibration, supporting consistent performance during extended vegetation-clearing applications.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction A rugged single-piece frame and abrasion-resistant components are engineered to withstand demanding forestry, land-clearing, and vegetation-management environments.
  • Compact Excavator Compatibility The FX26 is engineered for compact and mini excavators in the 4–8 ton range, requiring only 15 GPM hydraulic flow for operation.
  • Mid-Sized Excavator Performance The FX36 is designed for excavators in the 8–16 ton range, with a 25–54 GPM hydraulic flow requirement and an 8" cutting capacity.
  • High-Performance FX46 The FX46 supports larger excavators from approximately 12.5–34 tons, requiring 35–70 GPM hydraulic flow and providing a cutting capacity of up to 10".
  • Extra-Strength Thumb Saddle The FX36 incorporates a serrated thumb saddle designed to work with an excavator thumb, helping operators grab, position, and remove debris or obstacles during clearing work.
  • Large Cutter Drum Design The FX36 uses a 12.75" cutter drum with 3/4" thickness, providing a robust cutting platform for demanding vegetation and woody-material applications.
  • Multiple Tooth Options The Defender platform supports multiple cutter-tooth configurations, allowing users to select equipment suited to their specific vegetation management and mulching requirements.
  • Easy Hydraulic Connection The FX36 includes 100" hydraulic hoses and flat-face couplers, providing convenient connection to compatible excavator auxiliary hydraulic systems. Case drain is required.
  • USA-Built Forestry Attachment Built in the USA, the FX Defender Series combines durable construction, efficient hydraulic power, and service-friendly design for professional vegetation management and land-clearing applications.

Customer photo review of Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.

Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.

My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now. I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on. I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.

Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!

TENT is easy to put up , material is tuff as told....only complaint is that i wish the bottom had about 3 to 4 inches overlap towards the inside so i could install a 2 x4 or something to help hold the tent down in high winds we have here in virginia thanks

Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!

Forax Ultralight Mulcher | Model HP40 | Cutting Width 40" | Carrier 2-4-Ton | For Excavators

These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs. I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again. Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
