Key Features of the RDM38EX Excavator Forestry Disc Mulcher

• Fits 10–15 Ton Excavators – The RDM38EX excavator forestry disc mulcher is built to fit 10–15 ton excavators and work with your existing thumb attachments or quick couplers. That means less setup trouble and a better fit for the machine you already run.
• Unique Digging Spade Feature – Found only on the RDM Series, the Digging Spade Feature gives operators a practical edge in the field. You can dig, clear overgrown roads, and transfer logs without switching attachments. More work gets done with less downtime.
• Durable Steel Mounting System – This mounting system is built for real forestry equipment work. It is strong enough to lift and reposition your excavator when needed.
• Simplified Rotary Disc Mulching System – The RDM38EX features a 38-inch rotary disc mulcher with a direct-drive system and a reduction shroud that feeds trees, brush, and vegetation into the fixed cutting teeth. The result is fast, steady mulching with fewer passes and less wasted motion.
• 38 Diameter High-Strength Forestry Disc – The 38-inch forestry disc is built from Weldox 700 and T-1 steel and measures 1¼ inches thick. It can go through dense brush, heavy growth, and trees up to 8 inches in diameter without clogging.
• Reduction Shroud for Maximum Production – The reduction shroud vacuums vegetation into the mulching disc and cutting teeth for finer mulch, cleaner results, and more production in less time.
• Direct Drive Power Transfer – The RDM38EX disc mulcher uses a direct-drive system that delivers power directly to the cutting disc via a heavy-duty bearing box. Fewer complications. Stronger transfer. Reliable mulching performance where it counts.
• Heavy-Duty Bearing Box – Every AFE disc mulcher comes with a fully-tested, custom-built bearing box.
• Rexroth Bent Axis Piston Hydraulic Motor – This hydraulic motor sends power from the excavator directly to the forestry disc. It delivers consistent torque and dependable cutting performance without the need for extra hydraulic systems or added support equipment.
• Variety of Cutting Tooth Options – Contractors can choose from multiple cutting tooth options, including beaver teeth, carbide thumbnail teeth, and carbide bullet teeth. Advanced Forest Equipment has dedicated nearly 37 years to the land-clearing business to develop a product line that continually outperforms other mulcher designs under the same harsh working conditions. With an RDM44EX Excavator Forestry Disc Mulcher, you can take on the harshest work, day in and day out.
