NEW FAE SCL/EX/VT
EXCAVATOR STUMP CUTTER
The SCL/EX/VT excavator stump
cutter is designed for excavators
from 7 to 15 tons with flow rates
between 26 and 42 gpm.
A hydraulic door controls
the exit of debris, and standard
equipment includes a belt
transmission, a 110/60cc variable
torque hydraulic piston motor
at any time.
Last year Bron launched its newest
series of Mulcher Models, the 490
and 590 replacing the previous
generation 475 and 500. Both new
machines are powered by a fuel
efficient Cummins QSX15 Tier-3i 15
litre engine.
The 490 is rated at a 480 hp
peak at 1,800 rpm. The 590 is
rated at a 589 hp peak at 1,800
integrated into the frame,
screwed protection chains, and
an adjustable supporting service
stand.
Rotor diameter is 26 inches,
total width is 27 inches, and the
unit weighs 1,665 pounds.
Options include a customized
attachment bracket with fixed
thumb, and a front fixed thumb.
rpm. The increased speed rating
over the previous models provides
additional range for the engine to
operate and results in improved
efficiency by using less fuel per
horsepower.
Hydraulic power comes from
proven closed-loop pumps for
both track drives and mulching
head, providing awesome
performance and control for high
productivity. Purpose-built frames
unique between the two models
incorporate new oscillating track
frames. D4 is standard on the 490
and the D5 is optional. The 590
comes standard with D5 tracks.
These tracks are powered
by heavy-duty planetary drives
that are matched to the size
of the selected undercarriage.
Two specially designed extreme
service heat exchangers are
designed for improved cooling
in even the hottest climates.
They are optimally positioned to
draw cool/clean air in from the
rear of the tractor, then directed
alongside the engine, maximizing
air-flow efficiency, reducing wasted
horsepower and excessive noise.
The open area between the heat
exchangers also provides ample
room for service to the front of the
engine.
The new BRON 590 Mulchers has improved stability and operator comfort, longer operating between fuel filling,
and lower noise with increased heat rejection capabilities
