OVERVIEW

Transform Your 6–10-Ton Excavator Into a Land-Clearing Machine

The Forax XD42 Extreme Duty Mulcher is purpose-built for serious land-management applications. Designed for 6–10 ton excavators, this 42-inch drum mulcher attachment offers wide coverage and high productivity in brush clearing, undergrowth management, trail maintenance and forestry operations. According to manufacturer specs, it features a 42″ cutting width and is suited for carriers in the 6–10 ton class.

With its rotor equipped with 28 rotatable cutters, the XD42 ensures smooth, efficient mulching and extended service life of cutter teeth. The drum design and heavy-duty build allow contractors and land-owners to clear tight corridors, wooded areas and overgrown parcels with fewer passes and less operator fatigue.

This model weighs approximately 750 lbs, making it weight-optimized for excavators in its class while still offering serious structural strength. It draws a hydraulic flow range of 20–35 GPM, ensuring compatibility with most standard auxiliary circuits in midsize excavators.

Whether you’re clearing fence-lines, preparing acreage for development, managing utility rights-of-way, or building recreation trails, the Forax XD42 delivers the kind of excavator mulcher attachment performance that balances size, power and cost-effectiveness.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • 42-Inch Extreme Duty Mulching Drum
    Engineered with a wide 42" cutting width to clear heavy brush, undergrowth, and small trees efficiently on 6–10 ton excavators.
  • 28 Rotatable, Hardened Cutter Teeth
    Features a rotor equipped with long-life cutter teeth that rotate for extended use, reducing downtime and boosting mulching productivity.
  • Optimized for 6–10 Ton Excavators
    Designed specifically for mid-size excavators, delivering the ideal balance of hydraulic efficiency, power, and maneuverability for forestry work.
  • High-Efficiency Hydraulic Requirement (20–35 GPM)
    Runs smoothly on standard auxiliary flow systems, making it compatible with a wide range of excavator models without costly hydraulic upgrades.
  • Reinforced Steel Housing for Harsh Terrain
    Built with a heavy-duty frame that withstands high-impact forestry conditions, rugged terrain, and continuous land-clearing operations.
  • Smooth, Balanced Drum Operation
    The precision-balanced drum reduces vibration, increases cutting efficiency, and produces finer mulch for cleaner ground finish.
  • Wide Coverage for Faster Job Completion
    The 42-inch drum clears more area in fewer passes, ideal for land-clearing contractors, forestry maintenance, and right-of-way management.
  • Compact Profile for Tight-Area Clearing
    Designed for precision in narrow corridors, wooded paths, ditches, and steep terrain where larger machines cannot operate effectively.
  • Low Maintenance, Operator-Friendly Design
    Quick-access service points and rotatable cutters reduce maintenance time and keep operators productive throughout demanding jobs.

  • Professional-Grade Forestry Performance
    Built to handle intensive brush clearing, vegetation control, and small-tree mulching for municipalities, contractors, and landowners.

With all these features, the Forax XD42 Extreme Duty Mulcher isn’t just an attachment—it’s a powerhouse upgrade that turns your 6–10 ton excavator into a high-performance land-clearing machine. It helps you cut faster, tackle heavier vegetation, and operate more efficiently on every job.

FAQs

What's better, a disc mulcher or a drum mulcher?


Disc mulchers and drum mulchers both work well, but they’re built for different applications. Disc mulchers excel at quickly cutting and felling small trees and are ideal when you need aggressive, high-speed cutting. Drum mulchers, on the other hand, provide smoother operation, finer mulch, and better performance in dense brush, undergrowth, and selective clearing.

How do you choose the right excavator attachment?

Choosing the right excavator attachment depends on your machine size, the hydraulic flow available, and the type of work you need to perform. Start by checking your excavator’s tonnage class, since each attachment is designed for a specific weight range to ensure proper balance and lifting capacity. Next, verify your auxiliary hydraulic flow (GPM) and pressure (PSI) to make sure the attachment can run safely and efficiently on your machine.

You should also consider the job requirements—such as brush clearing, grading, digging, or demolition—and select an attachment that matches the task. For forestry and vegetation control, a drum mulcher is often the best choice due to its smooth operation and finer mulch output.

How do I know which hydraulic flow rating I need?


Check your excavator’s auxiliary GPM and PSI. Each attachment lists a recommended flow range to ensure optimal operation. Running an attachment outside its flow requirements can reduce performance or cause unnecessary wear.
