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.

    Pretty cheap but surprisingly solid
    Color: Black
    This thing comfortably fits my 16” MacBook Pro. It does tilt a bit probably due to me screwing it to the underside of my wooden desk which probably isn’t the exact use for it, but it holds really strong and isn’t going anywhere. Combining this with a small USB-C hub for some USB As and and extra HDMI and a little bit of Velcro, this holder makes for a pretty solid option to hide you laptop away if you a surprisingly clean desktop-like experience, even if you’re on a budget and can’t afford a desktop. A proper thunderbolt docking station would go a long way with this as well.
