Forestry Mulcher for Skid Steers – FAE DML/SSL-175 VT

Engineering and Design: A Long-Term Investment.
This head stands out for its exceptionally rugged construction, inheriting the durability of FAE’s heavy-duty equipment. It features an “anti-dust” internal frame and body that shields mechanical components from debris, along with a motor fully integrated into the chassis to prevent impact damage in dense vegetation. The fixed blades are designed for reversible use, doubling their service life and ensuring a clean, consistent cut.

Power and Performance: Variable Torque (VT) Technology.
The heart of the DML/SSL-175 VT is its 55/38 cc variable torque hydraulic piston motor. This intelligent system automatically adjusts the motor to extract maximum performance from any hydraulic system, increasing torque when resistance is high and reducing the risk of rotor stalling. It is the ideal solution for 40–70 hp skid steers that need to optimize a working flow of 60–115 L/min.

Mulching Quality: Efficiency in Every Pass.
To ensure a fine mulch consistency, the head incorporates welded steel counter-blades that work in tandem with the fixed-tooth rotor. The hydraulic mulching hood allows the operator to manage material intake and discharge direction, while the integrated pressure gauge enables real-time monitoring of working pressure from the cab, ensuring safe and productive operation.

Fleet Compatibility:

• Recommended Base Machine: Skid steers from 40 to 70 hp.
• Hydraulic Requirements: Flow rate of 60–115 L/min and pressure of 180–350 bar.
• Connectivity: “Plug and Play” diverter valve for immediate integration with the skid steer’s hydraulic system.

Frequented Asked Questions  

1. What advantages does the VT motor offer on a skid steer? The Variable Torque system automatically adjusts the motor so the rotor doesn’t stop even if the carrier has limited hydraulic flow, optimizing performance on the fly.

2. What maintenance do the teeth require? The Type E teeth are fixed and reversible, allowing you to flip them when one side is worn, effectively doubling their service life before replacement is needed.

3. Can I work near sensitive areas? Yes, thanks to the hydraulic mulching hood and protection chains, you can control the projection of mulched material, increasing safety for the surrounding environment.

4. What training is included with the purchase? Upon delivery, we include 1 to 2 days of technical training for the operator, focusing on VT motor adjustment and preventive maintenance to maximize the machine’s lifespan.

5. What is the warranty for this equipment? The official warranty is 1,500 hours or one year for parts and labor (whichever comes first), ensuring the profitability of your professional investment.
