Fecon has unveiled a new line of mulchers that bring the power and performance of a traditional drum mulcher to the PTO platform, the company says. 

Created for tractors with 45-110 horsepower, the PTO Bull Hog mulchers can attach to any tractor with a three-point hitch.

The mulchers came in three working widths:

“We’re mindful of our full range of customers when we introduce a product to the market,” said Jeff Stanley, Fecon’s senior vice president of product development. â€śThe new PTO Bull Hog Mulchers give landowners the power to take land clearing, mulching, and land maintenance into their own hands without having to buy additional equipment or hire a contractor."

A distinctive feature of the new PTO Bull Hog mulchers is the split ring rotor system, which strikes a balance between Fecon’s FGT and depth control rotor technologies. 

With no depth control, the FGT rotor offers a more aggressive bite at a higher horsepower whereas the DCR features rings spanning the full diameter of its rotor that limit its bite to produce a more consistent chip size and use less horsepower from the carrier. 

The split-ring system has a depth control ring that only partially goes around the rotor to offer controlled cutting and consistent chip size with a lower weight and easy-to-maneuver attachment.
