Features

DEPTH GAUGES


The Battle Ax rotor includes built-in depth gauges, which function similarly to raker teeth on chain saws to prevent the attachment from engaging too much material at one time. This unique design is more ideal for managing the amount of material being fed into the attachment than competitive ring-style rotors, which many operators find to be overly limiting. It has also proven to perform better with both Quadco blades and carbide cutting teeth.

TWO-STAGE CUTTING CHAMBER


The Loftness exclusive two-stage cutting chamber is capable of processing material more thoroughly than competitive units by cutting material twice. Not only does this allow faster decomposition, but it also results in a nicer looking end product. The primary shear bar is adjustable, so the clearance can be narrowed or widened depending upon the desired material size and production rate. From here, the partially reduced material passes smoothly to the secondary cutting chamber behind the front bumper, where it’s processed further before being discharged toward the ground.

V-DRIVE VARIABLE-DISPLACEMENT PISTON MOTOR


The V-Drive uses a variable-displacement piston motor, which automatically shifts the rotor RPM from the highest speed to a lower range for increased torque, as needed. The result is less stalling and a shorter recovery time, helping operators to concentrate on the job instead of power settings and continuous head repositioning. This motor provides a more effective use of power as the head RPM increases under lighter loads, allowing operators to quickly slice through smaller or more flexible growth, as well as when back-dragging material on the ground. As larger trees, trunks and stumps are engaged, the motor increases the drive displacement to increase torque. It is designed for skid steers delivering 33-62.9 GPM at up to 6,000 PSI. (Rated up to 150 hydraulic horsepower.)

SPECIALIZED BODY SHAPE AND HITCH ANGLE


Unlike competitive horizontal drum mulchers that use hydraulic doors to help reduce material, the Battle Ax is engineered to process material more completely without a door. Its distinguishing body shape and hitch angle allow the Battle Ax to be rolled back to expose the knives when cutting trees. Tilting the head forward while backing up pulls downed material against the shear bar for more efficient cutting, which produces finer particle sizes. A second recutter bar at the discharge reduces material further and directs it to the ground.

TOOTH MOUNTING


The Quadco knives or carbide cutting teeth are mounted to the rotor with a single bolt. They can be easily reversed or replaced on the jobsite using a common hex socket.

STAGGERED/SPIRAL TOOTH PATTERN


This exclusive tooth arrangement ensures single-tooth contact with the work surface at all times while maintaining optimal rotor balance.

ADJUSTABLE SKID SHOES


To achieve below grade mulching, the skid shoes can be adjusted from 0.5 inches to minus 1.5 inches.

MACHINED ANTI-WRAP BEARING PROTECTOR


Rotor ends are machine turned to mate with close tolerance, machined anti-wrap rings, which minimize debris in the bearing chamber.

SYNCHRONOUS BELT DRIVE


The positive drive, cog belt and sprocket design maximizes efficiency and requires less maintenance than other drive types.

CUSTOM HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVE


A high-pressure relief valve protects the Battle Ax from pressure spikes at the source. It also includes an anti-cavitation shutdown circuit.

PERFORMANCE MONITORING


An integrated PSI gauge that monitors the hydraulic load is positioned for easy viewing from the skid steer cab. Keeping the Battle Ax at the optimum hydraulic load allows for peak performance throughout an application.

PREMIUM STRENGTH STEEL HOUSING


All body components are laser cut from premium strength steel. Also, abrasion resistant steel is used in high-wear areas.

STEEL DEFLECTOR CHAINS


Running the entire length of the attachment, steel deflector chains improve safety by reducing flying debris.
