Shearex has launched its new mini bite limiter mulcher, a compact powerhouse for land clearing and maintenance.
Part of the VL (Vertical Light‑duty) Series, the new attachment is designed to bring exceptional mulching performance into a more compact, cost‑effective package. Engineered for excavators in the 2-ton to 7-ton class, the mini bite limiter mulcher gives land clearing, invasive species removal, roadside maintenance and underbrush management a high degree of precision without sacrificing durability.
The new VL Series mulcher attaches easily with a quick coupling system and includes a complimentary startup kit with spare blades, a tube of grease, a Shearex cap, user manual and sharpening guide.
The mulcher includes a poly‑chain carbon transmission belt to efficiently transmit torque as well as an internal shell and wear plate built with Hardox 500 steel for enhanced abrasion resistance.
Another feature is a drainless piston motor rated for up to 5,800 psi in pressure and 360 psi return pressure, while oversized axles and bearings mitigate strain and extend component life.
A bolted counter blade system helps simplify maintenance. To reduce wear on the blade holders, the patented Convex DX Protection System guides material toward the centre of the cutting zone.
The VL Series mulcher combines toughness and agility, making it ideal for clients who need to transition between tight job sites, overgrown areas and roadside clearing zones.
Alain Baril of Enterprises Paysagers Baril Inc. in Quebec is using the VL Series mulcher to tackle dense brush.
“This is the first time I’ve had a tool like this. I’m really impressed by the power and how well it performs in tough conditions. It exceeds my expectations,” Baril said.
The VL Series mulcher is available in two configurations, the VL‑20SC (for 2-ton to 4-ton excavators) and the VL‑30SC (for 3-ton to 7-ton excavators). The mini bite limiter mulcher delivers cutting widths of about 54 cm and 78 cm respectively, and is optimized for material diameters of up to about 3 cm to 4 cm (7.5 to 10 cm target).
