The Bradco MM421 Mulcher, by Paladin, available in both standard and hi-flow hydraulic options, shreds up to 12” diameter hardwood trees with a cutting width of 42″ using a patented reversible tooth design. Each tooth has a cross bar the full width of the tooth to help keep proper cutting alignment during operation. The fixed hammers with reversible and replaceable carbide and claw teeth can be easily interchanged without needing to rebalancing the rotor. The synchronous belt drive system eliminates belt and drive sprocket slippage and the heavy duty bent axis variable displacement piston motor offers better performance and optimization. This allows mulcher to be switched easily to other prime movers without having to change out hydraulic motors, belts, or belt drive sprockets/pulleys.
