Fecon Introduces The New Bull Hog Mulching Attachment

The BH230HXD-3 Bull Hog is designed to be attached to CTL’s and skid steers.

The new design has several features that will please mulcher customers. It has a severe duty body, bolt on skid shoes, stronger push bar, and improved mulching chamber. The top of the body has been made smooth to avoid debris and water build up that can occur in the trough. The new CTL Bull Hog is still offered with Fecon’s smooth drum FGT rotor, paddle style HDT rotor and the DCR (depth control rotor). Therefore, customers can still configure their Bull Hog for the job they are carrying out. Fecon has also made the hose sling standard, created improved sealing of the body and made trap door and pressure gauge options easier to add on.

The BH230HXD-3 Bull Hog® mulching attachment is suited to tractors with up to 257 kW (350 hp) and 230 to 450 litres (50-100 gal) /min hydraulic flow.  It has a 254 cm (100 in) cut and an overall width of 300 cm (117 in).  The mulcher has greater production capacity with its expanded cut while providing more complete coverage of forestry prime movers and especially rubber tyre models that are often 2.7 to 2.9 m (9 - 9.5 ft) wide.

For now, the head is offered with Fecon’s smooth drum FGT rotor and all 4 FGT tool options including the Double Carbide, Samurai Knife, Severe Duty and Stone Tool. This enables contractors to quickly configure their mulcher to the various conditions of the job at hand.  Fecon’s DCR and HDT rotor options may be added in the future. The BH230HXD-3 is available with a hydraulic tilting push bar and incorporates the same severe-duty elements of Fecon’s narrower BH200HXD-3.  These include a large 55 cm (21.8 in) diameter rotor, 90mm (3.5 in) rotor bearings, and Fecon’s severe-duty body construction.  The BH230HXD-3 has an operating weight of 3,000 kg (6,750 lbs).
