DISC MULCHER Features
FECON STANDS ABOVE THE REST
VERSATILE, MULTI-DIRECTIONAL OPERATION
- TOP-DOWN FEEDING utilizing the bottom of the disc to mulch standing trees or come down of brush piles
- BOTTOM-UP FEEDING using the intake feed and the body structure cut through trees, and then let gravity feed tree down into discs
- SNIPPING: Cut top of tree with left side of disc, snip into standing tree by lowering the arm and then swinging right to left, repeat process until at ground level
- LEFT & RIGHT SWEEPING: Fell standing trees with the left side of the disc, sweep left and right to mulch vegetation on the ground
HINGED RIGHT SIDE DOOR
- HINGED OPEN: Versatile for processing standing and felled material using the left and right swing
- HINGED CLOSED: Closing the cutting chamber leads to improved finished material and limits debris dispersion
- DOOR REMOVED: Optimum for open areas where productivity is key
ROBUST, DEPENDABLE, INNOVATIVE
- Robust bearing carrier houses a heavy-duty bearing with an oversized shaft
- Elastomeric coupler to protect hydraulic motor
- Integrated pusher pad with rake style teeth for moving felled material or brush piles

Frequently Asked Questions
The VDX is a disc mulcher for excavators, built for jobs where speed and efficiency matter more than a fine finished product. The hinged door allows bidirectional feeding and snipping, so an operator can fell, process and sweep material without repositioning the machine as often.
Two. The VDX36 has a 36 inch cutting width and weighs 2,965 lbs, and the VDX52 has a 52 inch cutting width and weighs 3,675 lbs. The VDX36 is rated for 15 ton and larger excavators, while the VDX52 is rated for 18 ton and larger machines.
The VDX36 needs a minimum of 32 GPM and the VDX52 needs a minimum of 42 GPM. Both models call for at least 4,000 PSI. The VDX36 runs an 80cc bent axis Rexroth motor and the VDX52 runs a 107cc bent axis Rexroth motor.
It gives you three working modes. Hinged open is versatile for processing standing and felled material using left and right swing. Hinged closed contains the cutting chamber, which improves finished material and limits debris dispersion. Removing the door entirely is best in open areas where raw production is the priority.
The VDX36 carries 10 top knives, 8 edge knives and 8 single point carbides on the bottom. The VDX52 carries 16 top knives, 12 edge knives and 12 single point carbides. Replacement knives, carbides, bushings and bolt kits are all stocked as wear parts.
Four main ones. Top down feeding uses the bottom of the disc on standing trees or brush piles. Bottom up feeding cuts through the stem and lets gravity feed it into the disc. Snipping works down a tree from the top in stages. Left and right sweeping fells stems, then mulches ground vegetation.
The VDX uses an elastomeric coupler between the disc and the hydraulic motor to absorb shock loads, plus a robust bearing carrier housing a heavy duty bearing on an oversized shaft. An integrated pusher pad with rake style teeth also lets you move felled material and brush piles without swapping attachments.
