The MX1160R is the top of Baumalight's excavator line and the only head in it built around mulcher rings. The rings sit between the tooth holders and limit how deep a tooth can bite, which sounds like a restriction and works as the opposite: the rotor keeps its speed instead of stalling into a heavy stem, and the holders stop absorbing the shock loads that break them.

That is what lets 31 sharpenable planer teeth take on material a larger tooth count would not reach on the same carrier. Teeth sharpen rather than being thrown away, the body is AR400 with bolt-on wear plates, and a root rake is in the frame for rock and logs.

The mount is the second decision to make, because an excavator does not have one standard attachment face the way a skid steer or a tractor does. A skid steer takes a universal quick-attach plate and a tractor takes a numbered hitch class, so the same head bolts to any machine in the class. An excavator instead carries its own coupler geometry, and Baumalight's ordering route for it is split by that geometry. Blank Weld-On Plate Only ships the supplier's own D001419 blank plate, which the supplier describes as a plate designed for you to weld on your own ear lugs for your specific excavator and rates for a 8 to 25 ton carrier; the bolt pattern on the plate is specific to Baumalight, so the head-side interface is fixed and the machine-side geometry is taken up by lugs a fabricator welds to suit the carrier. The three coupler options arrive fitted to the carrier instead: in the supplier's words, the team at Baumalight designs and builds your custom excavator adaptor for your specific excavator to ensure that the attachment is ready to go to work as soon as it arrives, with a wedge, a pin-on or pin-grabber, or a cross-pin style coupler resolved from the excavator brand and model at order time, and Excavator Weight Class sizes that mount to the carrier. Confirm the mount with the supplier for a carrier above 25 ton, which is the top of the D001419 plate's rating. Choose the coupler style and the weight class, and give the excavator brand and model when ordering.

Common Applications

• Land clearing and site reclamation on full-size excavators
• Processing large diameter material with an average carrier
• Right-of-way and utility corridor work
• Raking rock and felled logs clear of the working path

Excavator Mounting

• An excavator has no single standard attachment face, so the mount is matched to the carrier's own coupler rather than shared across a class.
• The D001419 blank weld-on plate ships blank, carries the Baumalight bolt pattern on the head side, and is welded to ear lugs cut to suit the machine.
• Wedge, pin-on or pin-grabber, and cross-pin style couplers are fitted to the buyer's excavator through Baumalight's turn-key process, chosen here in Mount Option and sized by Excavator Weight Class.

Selection Notes

• Match the mulcher to the carrier by class first: tracked excavators from 18 to 33 ton and wheeled excavators from 21 to 36 ton carry this model.
• Case drain is critical on this model. Confirm the carrier has one before ordering.
• P11000 teeth are sharpenable rather than throwaway, which changes the running cost against the double carbide heads in the same size class.
• Hydraulic couplers are ordered separately because the face varies by carrier. Confirm the face against your carrier before ordering.
• Mount Option changes what arrives, and with Excavator Weight Class it is the second real decision to make. Blank Weld-On Plate Only ships the supplier's own blank plate, D001419, which the supplier rates for a 8 to 25 ton excavator and which the buyer welds on. The three coupler options arrive fitted to the carrier instead.
• Excavator Weight Class sizes the mount to the carrier. The supplier prices and weighs its couplers by that same ton banding, at about 250 lb for a 12 to 15 ton carrier, about 275 lb for a 16 to 19 ton carrier, about 300 lb for a 20 to 22 ton carrier and 325 lb for a 23 to 29 ton carrier.
• A coupler is fitted to your specific machine, not to this model. Give the excavator brand and model when ordering.
• The D001419 plate is rated by the supplier for 8 to 25 ton excavators. Confirm the mount with the supplier for a carrier above that rating.
• The plate's mounting bolt set, D004952, is a separate supplier part number. The supplier lists it as free when the mount is ordered with the whole good. Confirm at time of order.
