Auger Torque launches mulcher range

Earthmoving attachment expert, Auger Torque, has added the VM1000 & VM1500 Variable Mulchers to its product portfolio, which the company said offer operators ultimate versatility and flexibility.

Auger Torque Global Production Manager, Matt Hencher, said the mulcher range is one of the company’s most impressive attachments to date and has been designed with input from some of its longstanding customers around the world.

“Our aim is to always give customers the versatility and flexibility they need and this mulcher was designed with this in mind,” he said.

The VM1000 & VM1500 offer working widths of 1m and 1.5m and can be mounted on either a skid steer loader or excavator. This allows the mulchers to be changed quickly and easily between each type of machine on a work site for clearing vegetation at different heights, for example.

A defining feature of this series of mulchers, which Auger Torque claims is an industry first, is its drum changeover feature which allows operators to drop and change drums quickly on site for when there are various types of vegetation to clear.

Operators can switch between two types of drums – a fixed tungsten teeth drum and a swinging hammer teeth drum.

The fixed tungsten teeth drum gives a robust blunt cutting edge for grinding through thick timber up to 250mm diameter, hedges and branches. The swinging hammer teeth drum gives a cleaner, more precise cut for dense bushes, smaller trees & even slashing grass.

Auger Torque said the VM Mulchers are made from high-grade steel and are engineered to cope with the toughest conditions in the mulching & forestry industries.

External grease points, removeable side panels and skid plates allow for easy maintenance and a triple belt drive system provides reliability, the company added.

The VM Mulcher series is now available via Auger Torque’s specialist dealer network both in Australia and around the world.
