The Superforst hyd is the high
performer among the Seppi
forestry mulchers for hydraulic
machines and prime movers.
The unit is ideal for highly
professional gas, pipeline and
power transmission maintenance,
for land clearing, maintaining of
power and communication lines,
clearing forests after harvesting
wood, right of way and site
preparation. It is also “perfect” for
the creation of fire-break strips.
With a new generation,
patented, aggressive rotor, and
efficient Mini Duo tungsten-
carbide-tipped hammers, the
Superforst can mulch wood and
brush to 50 cm (20 in) at working
speeds up to 5 km/h. The tools are
easily interchangeable.
The basic features are: a
strong frame, made of high tensile
steel; heavy duty belt cover; well
protected hydraulic cylinder; and
protection chains, which all assure
a long working life.
The Seppi M Superforst hyd
is equipped with a universal
interface, and is suitable for any
hydraulic mower with available
hydraulic flow between 290-720 l/
minute.
The versatile mulcher is
available with several hydraulic
motor options, the most powerful
and efficient of which is the
variable displacement M-Boost
motor, offering 40% more torque
