Depth Gauges

The Battle Ax rotor includes built-in depth gauges, which function like 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.

  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. 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.

  Adjustable-Displacement Piston Motor

The Battle Ax is available with two adjustable-displacement piston motors for excavators with hydraulic systems ranging from 16 to 60 gallons per minute and up to 6,000 PSI (30 to 150 hydraulic horsepower). These motors are manually adjustable for fine-tuning performance on a variety of power units, and they are capable of turning the rotor between 1,900 and 2,500 RPM.

  Direct Drive

The hydraulic motor is directly mounted to the rotor to eliminate the hassle of drive belts and reduce overall maintenance concerns. It features a unique flexible isolation coupler to minimize stress on the motor.

  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.

  Anti-Wrap Bearing Protection

The rotor ends are machined to mate with close tolerance machined anti-wrap rings, resulting in minimal debris in the bearing chamber.

  Tooth Mounting

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

  Spade Hook

The standard heavy-duty spade hook is a useful tool for positioning material to be mulched.
