Frequently Asked Questions
The CEM36 is rated for 8 to 15 ton excavators. Fecon calls it the Compact Equipment Mulcher because it balances weight against durability for carriers that have less power and lifting capacity than a full size excavator.
The CEM36 works across a flow range of 17 to 40 GPM at a maximum pressure of 6,000 PSI. It uses a variable displacement 55cc hydraulic motor, and the hydraulics are adjustable to match your specific carrier’s flow and pressure.
It mulches material up to 6 inches with ease. Working width is 36 inches and overall width is 47 inches, which keeps the head compact enough for tight corridors while still covering useful ground on each pass.
1,450 lbs, or 658 kg. That relatively light weight is what makes it suitable for smaller excavators, since a heavier head would eat into lift capacity and stability at full reach.
Reach. Mounted on an excavator, a Bull Hog can clear trees and brush along roadsides, ravines, creeks and riverbanks, and other places a loader cannot get to safely. The boom also lets you work above and below grade from a single machine position.
It uses a Fecon Grinding Technology rotor with Double Carbide tools. The standard rotor carries 18 tools and the DCR rotor carries 14. Rotor diameter is 20 inches, turning at 2,000 RPM on an ST65 bearing.
Two rotor systems with several cutting tool choices: Double Carbide, High Abrasion, Stone Tool, Viking Sword and Viking Axe. Which one suits you depends on how abrasive your soil is and how much ground contact the operator expects.
The CEM36. Fecon builds Bull Hog excavator mulching heads in four weight classes, and the CEM36 is the one rated for 8 to 15 ton excavators. Under 8 tons, the FMX28 and FMX36 cover 3.5 to 10 ton machines. From 12 tons up, the BH47EXC and BH62EXC heads cover 12 to 20 ton carriers, and the Severe Duty heads cover 15 to 45 tons. Where your machine sits in an overlap, choose by lift capacity at full reach and by your auxiliary flow.
No. Both have a 36 inch working width, but they are built for different machines. The FMX36 is a 5 to 10 ton head: 850 lbs, 12 to 40 GPM, 4,000 PSI maximum and a 15 inch split ring rotor. The CEM36 is built for 8 to 15 ton excavators: 1,450 lbs, 17 to 40 GPM, 6,000 PSI maximum and a 20 inch FGT rotor. If your excavator is under 8 tons, the FMX36 is the better fit. From 8 tons up, the CEM36 gives you a heavier rotor and body.
Fecon sells the CEM36 through its dealer network, and the price depends on how the head is set up for your machine: the mount, the rotor (FGT or DCR), the tooling and any options. Send your dealer your excavator make and model, its auxiliary flow and pressure, and your coupler or pin size, and they will quote the complete setup.
