Diamond Mowers Offers New Pro X Disc Mulcher

Diamond Mowers has introduced the new Disc Mulcher Belt Drive Pro X, which can go from 0 to 1,000 rpm in a matter of seconds. Engineered for high-volume use and maximum productivity, this powerful attachment features increased torque to mulch virtually anything in its path without slowing down.

The new Disc Mulcher BD Pro X couples a belt drive with a two-speed hydraulic motor to increase torque and disc speed. The disc speeds up during re-processing and back-dragging, so operators can finish a job faster. The belt drive system acts as a torque multiplier that prevents the machine from slowing down when slicing through large material and enables it to recover quickly. In addition, an AR 400 bolt-on replaceable liner helps to reduce abrasion on the shell from thrown materials.

The Disc Mulcher BD Pro X is available in a 60-inch. It can material up to 14 inches in diameter and mulch material up to 6 inches. It attaches to large frame skid-steers and compact track loaders and is paired with a 107cc variable displacement bent axis piston motor to match its hydraulic flow of 32-50 GPM.

“This game-changing attachment outpaces, outpowers, and outclasses anything else on the market,” said Dan Stachel, executive vice president of Diamond Mowers. “Because we know time is money and productivity drives profitability, we designed this machine to work as hard as the people who use it.”

DEVELON Introduces DD130 Dozer

DEVELON has introduced the DD130, the newest addition to its dozer lineup. It delivers best-in-class horsepower, plus more pushing power, superior traction, leading visibility, and advanced technologies for more productivity.

The new mid-size 145.8 hp DD130 dozer is ideal for construction, road construction, mining and forestry industries to do grading, leveling, site preparation and land clearing.

DEVELON entered the North American dozer market in 2022 with a small-size machine, the DD100; it competes in the 140-hp and under category. The DD130 is the next step up from the DD100; it has many of the same popular features but in the 140-hp and over category.

“Our dozers offer a higher horsepower than other comparable brands,” said Jacob Sherman, product and dealer marketing manager at DEVELON, and are designed with a heavy frame. “This results in more power to the ground and superior tractive effort, allowing our machines to push more material and be more productive on the job site, which helps our customers.”

The DEVELON DD130 features a 6-way power-tilt angle blade to work more efficiently and reduce the number of passes by lifting, tilting and angling the blade to move dirt or other materials precisely. Blade pitch can be adjusted from 52 to 58 degrees to control how steeply it bites into the ground.

The dozer comes standard with the oscillating serrated track system, which ensures consistent, stable ground contact for optimal grading performance and operator comfort, and a reduced-wear undercarriage link design.

A 2D grading system option is available to make precision grading easier, even for novice operators. The operator programs the needed inputs, and the machine controls blade functions — finishing the job faster and with better accuracy.

Loftness Unveils Battle Ax Mulching Attachment

Loftness has introduced the Battle Ax Extreme horizontal drum mulcher designed for prime movers up to 375 hp.

The Battle Ax Extreme has a unique rotor that features built-in depth gauges. They function similarly to raker teeth on chainsaws to prevent the attachment from engaging too much material at one time. The drum mulcher also features the Loftness exclusive two-stage cutting chamber, which is capable of processing material more thoroughly than competitive units by cutting material twice.

The Battle Ax Extreme is equipped with twin hydraulic motors. The variable-displacement piston motors automatically shift the rotor RPM from the highest speed to a lower range for increased torque as needed. The result is less stalling and shorter recovery time, helping operators to concentrate on the job instead of power settings and continuous head repositioning. Power is transferred to the rotor via dual belt drive.

The unit comes with triple carbide teeth, engineered for the most powerful prime movers. They feature an overlapping cap design that helps prevent the tooth mounts from damage if the rotor is driven into rocks. The teeth are mounted with a single bolt for easy replacement.

The Battle Ax Extreme is equipped with a hydraulically actuated door that can trap material in the cutting chamber for further processing or open up for felling trees. The hydraulic cylinder that actuates the door is shielded within the belt cover to help protect it from damage.

Other standard features include machined anti-wrap bearing protection, a tree pusher bar, premium strength steel housing, and steel deflector chains.
