25 Aug 2023 CW Team

Virnig has launched its debut mini excavator attachment, the X30 Mini Excavator Rotary Brush Cutter. The X30, boasting a 42-inch cutting-width deck, efficiently clears brush, vegetation, and small trees up to 4 inches in diameter.

Its removable front deck, offering 270-degree blade engagement, features serrations for guiding tree falls. Optional heavy-duty side curtains manage flying debris. The cutter's flywheel integrates three 5/8-inch thick by 5-inch-wide double-sided blades, allowing it to navigate stumps and debris while cutting along the ground.

Enhancing efficiency, the attachment employs an Eaton Geroler motor, eliminating the need for a drain line, and includes a hydraulic pressure relief valve to prevent damage from hydraulic pressure spikes. Constructed from a durable ¼-inch thick Grade 50 steel plate, the deck includes motor and spindle guards.

Virnig ensures compatibility with various mini excavator types through hanger brackets and pins, while a 90-inch hydraulic hose is standard, with a 120-inch hose available for the attachment.
