Designed for the Tigercat 470 mulcher, the 4054-20 provides a complete end-to-end Tigercat mulching solution for narrow swath applications and lower horsepower carriers.
The 4054-20 head has a smaller diameter drum, a two metre (79 in) mulching swath and a lighter weight, more compact design. Key applications include fire mitigation and remediation, as well as right-of-way and site preparation projects requiring a smaller, more agile machine.
The smaller size and lighter weight of the 4054-20 means it can work on carriers with less attachment power, while retaining similar recovery performance to larger heads equipped on larger carriers.
Various carbide tools and hardened steel knife tools are available to suit a range of applications. The Tigercat designed bolt-on tool system is available for both the open face rotor and the feed control rotor.
Manufactured for robustness, the 4054-20 mulching head offers durability and reliability. Carbide welding on the skis provides extra protection from wear. The robust housing with reinforced side covers adds to the heavy duty build quality and structural integrity.
The drive system efficiently transfers power with no belt slip and reduced belt tension maintenance. Large, heavy duty bearings and shafts ensure long life and high uptime. Numerous removable access covers allow easy maintenance of wear items and service points. The wear liner can be serviced in the field and does not require welding or rotor removal.
