Product Specification
EXCAVATOR MULCHER
Designed for versatility and power, the Shearex Excavator Mulcher - VM Series - is perfect for land clearing operations. It mounts easily on your excavator and transforms it into a high-efficiency mulching machine, capable of handling the toughest jobs.
CONVEX DX™ PROTECTION SYSTEM
Our unique Convex DX system uses a double-ring to force the material towards the center of the rotor, effectively reducing the amount of material being cut per pass and alleviating strain on the blade holder.
BLADE ANGLE OPTIMISED FOR A PERFECT CUT
Our blade mount design allows for greater durability and cutting power. The rotor on our excavator mulchers maintains its power throughout the blades’ lives.
ROADSIDE MAINTENANCE
Whether it’s to clear the sides of hunting lanes, trails, roads or highways, the power and speed of our mulcher heads are unparallel to anything else on the market.
FOREST FIRE PREVENTION WITH OUR FORESTRY MULCHERS
Cutting firebreaks can be a safe and efficient way to limit the spread of forest fires.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Excavator mulchers can easily manage new roads to maintain a right of way under electrical lines or over pipelines.
LAND MANAGEMENT
Mulching heads are the most efficient tool to cut underbrush and keep your private property accessible.
