An AHWI RT400 tracked mulcher recently bought by OnRoad OffRoad has had its Australian release in Adelaide’s Kuitpo Forest.
Imported by AHWI Australia, the machine was shown in full working mode mulching a 25Ha area of clearfelled forest for Forestry SA.
The mulcher can be used for clearing land, clearing seismic lines, cutting tree stumps and preparing soil for new growth.
It can also be used to eliminate highly flammable material such as dry brushwood, effectively cutting out intermediate steps in the fire ladder.
The crawler-mounted unit has a hydrostatic drive with infinitely variable transmission from 0 – 7km/h that facilitates precise working. The RT400 is fitted with a heavy-duty three-point linkage for attachments such as mulchers and stump grinders.
The machine is driven by a Deutz BF6M1015CP engine rated at 300kW, and has a maximum drive speed of 7km/h.
