SERVICEABILITY

Large engine bay doors and open engine bay allows for access to all components without interference and provides easy access to all points of the FTX300
All filters and service points on the FTX300 can be reached from the ground, making servicing the machine simple and easy to do in the field

COOLING CAPACITY

Oversized cooling capabilities allow the FTX300 to work at full power in the harshest applications
The FTX300 cooling system keeps entire machine in optimal temperature range, prolonging life of both engine and hydraulic components
Automatic Hydraulic Reversing Fans for both coolers keep the radiators clean and running at peak efficiency, even in dusty and debris-filled applications
Reversing fan timers are adjustable to allow operators to optimize the FTX300 to the exact application they are running in

RANGE OF MOTION

Increased productivity from the increased lift and range of motion of the FTX300
Reach of 55” to tackle standing vegetation and trim tree lines
Below grade of 32” to optimize ditch work
Range of motion of the FTX300 gives the operator more finite control over the mulching head, leading to an increase in productivity

POWER MGMT

The FTX300 is equipped with Fecon Power Management System to optimize machine performance – constantly monitoring the hydraulic circuits allowing for engine horsepower to be routed to where it is needed most
The system allows for the FTX300 to mulch up hill while maintaining control over both the lift arms and track system
Fecon Power Management on the FTX300 optimize both the recovery and staying power of the mulching head.
The combination of the FTX300 and the RK8620 results in a recovery time of less than 8 seconds

stump grinders

STUMP GRINDERS

Fecon Yellow SHX12 STUMPEX

THE ULTIMATE ATTACHMENT FOR STUMP GRINDING

The Fecon Compact STUMPEX stump grinder Mounts to compact utility loaders with as little 10-20 GPM output. A threaded cone and staggered AR500 cutting blades grind out stump and root material with minimal discharge. Low maintenance costs, high production, and less clean-up make the STUMPEX excellent for stump grinding contractors in land clearing, tree care, and municipal applications.

LESS IS MORE

No carbide tools to replace
Low maintenance
Low RPM bit leads to easy clean-up and has no high speed flying debris for a safer work zone
Fraction of work time compared to conventional stumpers
Mount on compact utility loaders with 10-20 GPM / 2,000 to 3,000 PSI
Use on any species of wood
Open frame for free material flow mini QA design only

HOW IT WORKS

Durable ar500 steel blades make the stumper tough, even in rocky conditions
Safer than conventional stumpers due to slow rotation auger bit action

SAFE & DURABLE

BULL HOG ATTACHMENTS

MULCHERS

Fecon Yellow VM6020 SERIES MULCHERS

THE BEST ATTACHMENT TO CLEAR BRUSH, TREES, AND STUMPS TO GROUND LEVEL

Fecon offers a full line of hydraulic Bull Hog mulchers for your high flow skid steer, ideal for clearing brush, trees, and stumps down to ground level. Quickly mulch standing trees 4-6″ in diameter (depending on horsepower) and intermittently process 6-8″ trees.

THE DURABILITY

Industry leading severe-duty body construction.
Engineered and built to withstand all types of
mulching conditions.
Heavy steel materials and quality welding process provide strength and longevity.

THE PERFORMANCE

Variable speed motor automatically adjusts to maximize rotor-speed & torque to changing material loads.
For lighter material loads, higher RPM means more bites per second and finer material sizing. With heavier material, the Bull Hog delivers more rotor torque keeping the rotor turning when other heads may stall.
Field tested and proven to be the most productive heads available.
