Mini-Excavator Brush Cutter

Paladin is expanding its offerings for mini-excavators with a new line of brush cutters, the MX Series. The MX Series is compatible with 3mT - 10mT mini-excavators, and facilitates a variety of applications, including over-fence brush management, embankment and ditch management, and rail right-of-way management.

With a solid formed T-1 steel deck and reversible AR400 cutting blades, the MX series can efficiently process brush and trees up to 6” in diameter. Equipped with Paladin’s bolt-on mounting system, it offers a seamless configuration to a variety of coupling systems; if coupling requirements change, units can be quickly and easily reconfigured without welding or grinding, even in the field.

Prime Mover: Mini-Excavator

• Heavy-duty hinged debris shield retracts when the head is engaged with trees and brush, exposing the blades and allowing for aggressive cuts at maximum blade engagement
• Fore and aft curtain shielding dampens debris projection and gives operators more control, making it easier to operate in areas where debris projection is a concern
• Automatic hydraulic braking stops blade rotation 10-15 seconds after the machine is turned off, making it faster for operators to get out of the cab
• Direct-drive hydraulic motor with heavy-duty bearing housing, ensuring long hydraulic life
• All models operate without a case drain, for maximum versatility across machines
• Large cutting size, up to 6", for clearing large areas and trees more efficiently
• Powder coat finish, for maximum rust and erosion protection

PART 1: CUTTER SELECTION 

• STEP 1: Select machine ton range. (Metric Tons) = (Weight in LBS) / (2,200).
• STEP 2: Select machine lifting capacity.
• STEP 3: Select auxiliary hydraulic flow*. If not specified, use 65% of total machine flow in GPM. • NOTE: Cutter must always be operated in bidirectional mode, never in hammer/breaker mode.
• STEP 4: Select desired cut width (multiple options may not always be available) 
• Larger = More productive / Can be used on larger, more powerful machines. 
• Smaller = Less expensive / Will likely fit a broader population of machines.
• STEP 5:  Select correct mounting for your machine.
