Morbark LLC, Wooster, Ohio, announced the release of its Rayco T415 Forestry Machine. The Rayco T415 Forestry Machine allows customers to change between a Predator forestry mower/mulcher head and a Hydra Stumper stump cutter attachment for increased versatility. The machine is ideal for land-clearing companies, construction companies, pipeline contractors, electric utility contractors, and real estate developers, the company says. “The T415 Forestry Machine is designed for large-scale land-clearing contractors,” J.R. Bowling, mulcher specialist at Rayco Manufacturing, says. “It’s a lot of cutting power in a very nimble package.” Powered by a 415-horsepower CAT C9.3B Diesel Tier 4 Final engine, the T415 boasts a closed-loop hydrostatic system to power the mulcher or cutter head, sending 140 gallons per minute to the attachment’s drive motor. The hydraulic output is power-optimized to match the engine’s power curve, keeping the mulcher/stumper RPM constant even under load for a finer mulched product with fewer passes, the company says. As the engine RPM pulls down under load, pump displacement increases to maintain the 140 gpm flow. For mowing/mulching applications, the Predator mulcher head has a 91.25 inch cutting width and is powered by a pair of variable displacement drive motors. The Predator mulcher head is equipped with 49 single-bolt teeth, including end teeth with extra carbide. The mulching head also has a synchronous drive belt for low maintenance and long wear life, as well as slotted mounting lugs to follow terrain with minimal machine stress. A manually adjustable tree catcher and hydraulic debris flap is standard equipment. The Hydra Stumper head muscles through stumps with its 48-inch-diameter by 3-inch-thick cutter wheel equipped with 56 Monster Tooth cutter tools. The cutting range is 9 feet wide, approximately 9 feet high and 46 inches deep.“The T415 packs a great deal of power and versatility to efficiently clear vegetation,” Bowling says. “Our customers are going to be impressed by how efficiently this machine mulches even tough plant species in a one-pass mowing situation.”Rayco’s patented elevated cooling design places engine radiators in both the rear of the engine compartment and in the limb riser for maximum cooling, including in areas with high ambient temperatures and a considerable amount of airborne debris. Debris screens trap airborne chaff before it can plug radiator fins. These screens are easily removable without tools for cleaning. Reversing fans also clear debris screens on-command, extending service intervals. Other features include Rayco’s exclusive track tensioning system with monitor, which alerts the operator to over-tension situations and provides easier access to track tension grease fittings; hydraulic tilt cab to access pumps and other components easily; and the heavy-duty 35,000 lbs hydraulic rear winch.
