Seppi M. introduces the new F50 turbo forestry mulcher

This is the evolution of the Starforst, developed for professional forestry mulching applications with tractors.

The new model introduces a series of updates and technical solutions affecting the machine frame, cutting rotor, drive system, tractor connection, and wear components. With working widths from 210 to 260 cm (83 to 102 in), the F50 turbo is designed for tractors with power ratings from 200 to 360 hp (147 to 265 kW). The rotor can be equipped with 63-77 V-Lock tools, while machine weight is around 3,400 kg (7,496 lb), depending on configuration.

The F50 turbo features a frame made from S420 steel, designed to provide high strength and durability for forestry work. Internal wear components are made from AR400 wear-resistant steel; the complete shell around the rotor is bolted on and can be replaced easily when worn.

The machine is also equipped with five rows of replaceable Counter Cutters to ensure the best shredding quality. The casing has an attractive and functional design, well-sealed against the entrance of debris and dust during work, but in case of maintenance easily accessible to reach the interior. The sharp looking vent covers for the M-Turbo clutch make the Seppi M. recognizable from far.

The F50 turbo rotor comes standard with Mini Duo V-Lock tools, designed to be used in the usual land clearing application. For big diameter material, such as stumps and large-diameter wood, the machine can be equipped with the high-density rotor OPT 578 Mono Hit V-Lock tools where it develops a higher productivity.

Special lateral tools called Extreme V-Lock, in combination with the Duo Defender, protect the rotor on the extremes, where the wear conditions are always severe. One of the key features of the F50 turbo is its hydrodynamic coupling, which provides a smooth and progressive rotor start-up and decouples engine and rotor in the event of excessive power demand.

M-Turbo helps to protect the tractor from torque peaks, by absorbing impact loads caused by sudden stumps and hard material. The tractor will never stall. It is very important that Seppi M. offers this solution also with a 210 cm (83 in) working width, that stays within the 255 cm (100 in) overall width for road transportation.

The guide skids have also been redesigned. They are individually adjustable to several positions and feature a new replaceable wear sole, to minimize the cost of the wear exposed components. Source
