FX26 Defender Forestry Drum Mulcher for Excavators

The FX26 Defender Forestry Drum Mulcher for Excavators is a compact, powerful mulching attachment engineered to deliver exceptional performance on 8,000–16,000 lb compact and mini excavators. Weighing only 785 lbs, the FX26 combines rugged durability with efficient cutting capability, making it ideal for demanding vegetation management and land clearing applications.

Designed to operate on standard thumb circuits with hydraulic flows as low as 15–17 GPM, the FX26 provides professional mulching performance without requiring machine modifications. Its direct-drive system and high-momentum flywheel-style cutter drum store energy for consistent cutting power, allowing the attachment to efficiently shred brush, vines, grasses, and trees up to 6 inches in diameter.

Equipped with Quadco QUAD TOOTH® cutter knives, the FX26 offers long-lasting durability and easy maintenance. Each 1⅝” steel alloy knife features four usable cutting edges, maximizing tool life and minimizing downtime. The optimized drum design prevents vines from wrapping while maintaining consistent torque for smoother mulching performance.

Built with contractors and land managers in mind, the FX26 Defender is a reliable year-round tool for property maintenance, right-of-way clearing, view restoration, and wildfire defensible space management.

    Great quality, so soft, love this brand!
    These do run big so order the size your child is currently in or a size down, it runs bigger than a lot of his other shirts in this size. The fabric is very soft and well made. I love the way they feel. I washed and dried them and they still look brand new like they did when they came out of the package and no noticeable shrinkage. No wrinkles either. These aren't lightweight, so they're great for spring and fall and even winter. This is one of my favorite kid brands now because the quality is always on par for the price.

    Toddler tops!
    Size: 3T, Color: Dusty Rose/Pink Text Print/White Rugby Stripe
    These are great quality, my daughter is too but she is tall so we needed long fitting shirts. These tops fit well and appearance is long on her tall torso. The thickness of this shirt perfect for in between spring and summer. It is very comfortable and cute without being ugly! She is able to perform all her toddler shenanigans in these shirts too!
