MX548R Fixed Tooth Mulcher for Excavator, 8-20 Ton

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.

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.

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.

Double brush size for “stop and chew” cutting for skidsteer models ONLY
NOTICE: Max GPM value must NEVER be exceeded on roller-vane motors or failure will occur, Piston motors run much faster before failure will occur
NOTICE: Above GPM values are under load flow estimates
