Vegetation Manage Loftness Battle Ax Loftness is offering new models of its Battle Ax horizontal drum mulcher for skid steers and excavators. Featuring a new rotor design and exclu-sive two-stage cutting chamber, the heavy-duty Battle Ax is designed for highly efficient vegetation management. The Battle Ax rotor features built-in depth gauges, which function similarly to raker teeth on chainsaws to prevent the attachment from engaging too much material at one time. This unique design is more ideal for managing the amount of material be-ing fed into the attachment than ring-style rotors. The Battle Ax features a two-stage cutting chamber, which allows material to be cut twice by the rotor and helps produce some of the smallest particle sizes. For more info, visit loftness.com.
