SAUERBURGER ALPHA - the mulcher for clean slopes and ditch edges
The SAUERBURGER ALPHA rear and side-mounted mulcher, version GI, is particularly suitable for the maintenance of embankments and ditches. A robust parallelogram linkage on the three-point mounting frame with a wide adjustment range enables trouble-free operation both directly behind the tractor and offset to the right. Field and forest edges can be cleanly mulched and kept free from unwanted growth such as grass, hedges and other scrub. Thanks to its working range of 90° upwards and up to 70° downwards, the machine is also ideally suited for working along embankments and ditches.
The SAUERBURGER ALPHA mulcher also cuts a very good figure when chopping crop residues in arable farming, e.g. maize, straw, etc., as well as when maintaining meadows and pastures. It promotes rapid decomposition and humus formation, even grass growth, distributes cow dung and thus prevents heavy growth in certain areas. If an ALPHA version GA is used in conjunction with a SAUERBURGER WM 3000 mulcher mounted on the front hydraulics of the tractor, a total working width of up to 5.14 m can be achieved. (Siehe Schemazeichnungen für die diversen Typen). This combination of units enables enormous savings in time and costs.
The highly robust mulching head is equipped with shear bars at the intake and inside the housing. In combination with the working tools, which can be adapted to the respective operating conditions, they ensure very short and thoroughly shredded mulch or crop residue. A rear roller mounted close behind the flail rotor provides precise height control and prevents further ground contact on uneven terrain, thereby minimising wear on the working tools.
This machine shows all the experience of 50 years of SAUERBURGER mulcher construction.
Version GI
Gearbox on the inside: Enables work right up to the edge of the slope when mulching.
Version GO
