Flail mower with movable hammers or fixed tines? The mulcher is a widely used and appreciated<\/strong> work tool in agricultural as well as forestry contexts<\/strong>. The care of forest soil, uncultivated or neglected areas, the cleaning of riverbeds, streams and canals, and also of areas close to railway lines, requires the use of mulchers. These are also indispensable in case of floods, disasters, landslides, to clear roads or areas, in favor of the passage of vehicles, people and emergency vehicles. <\/p>\n

As can be guessed, mobile hammer trenches for excavators<\/strong> are tools that make versatility<\/strong> their prerogative. However, there are several species of them, including those with movable hammers<\/strong> and those with fixed teeth<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Let’s anticipate that the main difference between flail mowers with movable hammers and fixed-tooth flail mowers<\/strong> lies in the type of use. To understand this is to better guide the choice of the best flail head. <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_line_height=”1.8em” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]Mobile<\/strong> mallet<\/strong> cutting is a popular genre, as these are the most widely used not only because they identify a simpler system, but also because they are indicated in most cases to handle more common and less complex jobs.<\/p>\n

Their wear and tear depends on the type of material being processed and the cutting height set, depending on the work being done. To extend their service life, it is possible to opt for movable mallet<\/strong> cutters whose cutting area is coated with surface treatments<\/strong> capable of preserving the sharpness from premature wear over time.

Fixed tooth mulcher for excavator<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_line_height=”1.8em” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]The fixed-tooth flail cutter<\/strong> is used mainly in forestry<\/strong>. The fixed tine works differently from the moving mace, and given the nomenclature, it is also easy to see why. While the mace “moves,” the tine remains fixed and integral with the cylindrical rotor to which it is attached, which, as it rotates, also rotates the cutting teeth. The teeth have the job of “eating the wood,” splitting and shattering it. Excavator trenches with fixed teeth<\/strong> are recommended for heavy-duty work such as intensive reclamation, cleaning river beds and embankments<\/strong>, working in<\/strong> heavily cluttered forested areas<\/strong> where there are thick logs and branches. In fact, thicker logs are cut with this system. It goes without saying that given the field of application, the fixed tooth mulcher should be mounted on larger machines since it requires more power to operate.
