LOFTNESS
Battle Ax Mulching Heads
Loftness offers Battle Ax mulching heads for both low- and high-flow skid steers and compact track loaders. These models feature a unique rotor with built-in depth gauges, which function similarly to raker teeth on chainsaws to prevent the attachments from engaging too much material at one time. This design is more ideal for managing the amount of material being fed into the attachment than ring-style rotors, which many operators find to be overly limiting. Also unique to the Battle Ax is the exclusive two-stage cutting chamber, which processes material more thoroughly than competitive mulching heads, since it can process material on two separate shear bars.

WERK-BRAU
High Performance Loader Buckets
Werk-Brau’s redesigned High Performance Loader Buckets have an enhanced performance profile. Curved side walls, a beveled design, and increased roll-back angle provide better material retention, allowing these buckets to hold 5 percent more material. Engineered for strength and durability, they feature high-strength, abrasion-resistant steel in all critical components. Tapered side plates reduce wear and allow for easier dumping. An inclined bottom reduces loading forces, allowing the bucket to do more and last longer with less wear. A stout top design withstands the high digging forces exerted by today’s more powerful machines. The buckets are available in capacities from 2.0 to 9.0 cubic yards.
