Bull Hog 200+ HP Tractor MULCHING ATTACHMENT

These hydraulic driven Bull Hogs are configured for open loop, load sense or closed loop hydraulic systems on prime movers up to 600 horsepower. Tracked or wheeled, big or small, Fecon supplies pin on, quick attach and custom mounts to suit the carrier.

These heads mulch material up to 14 to 20 inches with ease, which puts them in the heavy land clearing class rather than general brush work. Available working widths are 86, 89 and 100 inches.

The family covers 50 to 210 GPM depending on model and motor package, all at a maximum pressure of 6,000 PSI. As an example, the RK8620-3 runs 50 to 105 GPM on two 107V motors, while the BH300HXD-5 runs 180 to 210 GPM on two 250V motors.

The RK8620 and BH120H are 86 inch heads using a 20 inch rotor at 2,000 RPM on SD65 bearings, weighing 4,400 to 4,950 lbs. The XD severe duty models step up: the BH230HXD uses a 22 inch rotor at 1,800 RPM and the BH300HXD uses a 26 inch rotor at 1,600 RPM, both on SD90 bearings.

An adjustable pin on push bar with serrated ears for directing material, curved AR400 steel skid shoes that adjust for ground engagement and reduce plowing, and a trap door that helps contain debris and achieve finer sizing. Standard pin on and quick attach mounts cover most prime movers, with custom mounts available on request.

Fecon offers FGT and DCR rotor configurations with a choice of Double Carbide, High Abrasion, Stone Tool, Viking Sword and Viking Axe teeth. Tool count runs 48 per standard rotor and 36 to 42 per DCR rotor depending on the model.Fecon’s mulcher teeth and rotor guide explains which tooth suits which material.

It automatically adjusts motor displacement so rotor speed and torque track the load. Light material gets higher RPM and finer sizing. Heavy material gets more torque and staying power, which keeps the rotor turning instead of stalling and needing time to recover.

The 150-200 HP Bull Hog is built for purpose-built forestry tractors in that horsepower range. It comes as the BH74SD and BH85SD with 61 and 72 inch working widths, runs on a single 107V or 160V motor across a 27 to 75 GPM flow range, and intermittently processes trees up to 8 to 10 inches. The 200+ HP family steps up to 86, 89 and 100 inch working widths, twin motors on every model, flow ranges from 50 to 210 GPM and material up to 14 to 20 inches. If your carrier delivers less than about 50 GPM to the head, the 150-200 HP Bull Hog is the better match.

Start with hydraulic flow, not engine horsepower, because flow is what turns the rotor. Each model comes in motor packages matched to flow: the -3 package runs on 50 to 105 GPM (80 to 105 GPM on the BH300HXD), the -4 package on 80 to 150 GPM (100 to 150 GPM on the XD models), and the BH300HXD-5 on 180 to 210 GPM, all at up to 6,000 PSI. For reference, the Fecon FTX200 mulching tractor delivers 80 GPM at 5,000 PSI to its RK8620 head and the FTX300 delivers 115 GPM at 5,400 PSI. Send your dealer your carrier’s make, model, flow, pressure and horsepower and they will match the head and motor package. Our guide on how to choose the right forestry mulcher covers the rest of the sizing checklist.

The Bull Hog is a drum mulcher. Its rotor carries fixed cutting tools, 48 on the standard rotor and 36 to 42 on the DCR rotor depending on the model, turning at 1,600 to 2,000 RPM. A drum head pulls material down into the rotor, leaves a finer, more even mulch and can grind stumps close to grade. A disc mulcher spins a heavy disc that fells standing trees quickly but leaves a coarser finish. If fast felling matters more to you than finish, Fecon also builds the VDX disc mulcher.
