Features

DEPTH GAUGES

The 21-inch-diameter Battle Ax rotor includes built-in depth gauges, which function similarly to raker teeth on chain saws to prevent the attachment from engaging too much material at one time. This unique design is more ideal for managing the amount of material being fed into the attachment than competitive ring-style rotors, which many operators find to be overly limiting.

TWO-STAGE CUTTING CHAMBER

The Battle Ax features the Loftness-exclusive two-stage cutting chamber design, which is capable of processing material more thoroughly than competitive units by cutting material twice. Not only does this allow faster decomposition, but it also results in a nicer looking end product. Material is first cut at the primary shear bar, which is adjustable, so the clearance can be narrowed or widened depending upon the desired material size and production rate. From here, the partially reduced material passes smoothly to the secondary cutting chamber behind the front bumper, where it’s processed further before being discharged toward the ground.

ADJUSTABLE-DISPLACEMENT PISTON MOTOR

The 50 Series Battle Ax features a 165cc adjustable displacement piston motor for excavators with hydraulic systems ranging from 35 to 105 gallons per minute and up to 6,000 PSI (100 to 350 hydraulic horsepower). This motor turns the rotor from 1,700 to 1,900 RPM and can be manually adjusted for fine-tuning performance on a variety of excavators.

SYNCHRONOUS BELT DRIVE

The positive drive, cog belt and sprocket design increases efficiency and requires less maintenance than other drive types.

STAGGERED/SPIRAL TOOTH PATTERN

A staggered tooth arrangement ensures single-tooth contact with the work surface at all times while maintaining optimal rotor balance.

TRIPLE CARBIDE TEETH

The triple carbide teeth are engineered specifically for the most powerful excavators. They feature an overlapping cap design that helps prevent the tooth mounts from damage if the rotor is driven into rocks.

TOOTH MOUNTING

The triple carbide teeth are mounted to the rotor with a single bolt. They can be easily reversed or replaced on the jobsite using a common hex socket.

ANTI-WRAP BEARING PROTECTION

The rotor ends mate with close tolerance machined anti-wrap rings, resulting in minimal debris in the bearing chamber.

PREMIUM STRENGTH STEEL HOUSING

The Battle Ax is constructed of high-strength steel to withstand some of the toughest operating conditions.
