- Three Model Options Choose from the FX26, FX36, or FX46 to match Mini excavator size, hydraulic flow, cutting width, and material capacity. Cutting widths range from 26" to 46", providing flexibility across different job requirements.
- High-Capacity Brush Cutting Process demanding vegetation with cutting capacities of up to 6" on the FX26, 8" on the FX36, and 10" on the FX46, making the series suitable for heavy brush, vines, grasses, trees, and woody debris.
- Efficient Direct Drive The hydraulic direct-drive system transfers power efficiently to the cutter drum while maximizing available torque. The design also reduces maintenance requirements compared with belt-driven mulching systems.

- Extra-Strength Thumb Saddle The FX36 incorporates a serrated thumb saddle designed to work with an Mini excavator thumb, helping operators grab, position, and remove debris or obstacles during clearing work.
