Virnig V70 Skid Steer Drum Mulcher – Outperform Every Day!
What sets the VIRNIG Drum Mulcher apart is a combination of performance, build quality, and ease of use that few competitors can match.
Heavy-Duty Drum Mulcher Design
At the core is the drum itself. Virnig runs an 18” drum with a 1” diameter wall.
- Competitors often run a smaller drum with a thinner wall, meaning less momentum and more risk of damage.
- Virnig’s design gives you longer life and a more productive tool in the field.
High Drum Speed and Productivity
Testing showed the V70 Drum Mulcher reaching a maximum speed of 2,650 RPM — a lot faster than competitors. Combined with a variable displacement piston pump, this translates to:
- Faster spin-up
- More productive cutting
- Better performance in dense vegetation
And it doesn’t just work harder — it works smarter and saves operators serious $$. Operators saw around a 26% fuel saving compared to competitors.
Durability and Serviceability
Virnig shines in real-world use with features designed to protect your investment:
- Anti-wrap drum plates prevent debris from building around bearings
- Fully enclosed, greasable bearings with pressure vents keep components protected and easy to maintain
- AR400 wear liners and skid shoes extend life and can be replaced when worn
Hydraulic Safety
Hydraulic safety is another area most people don’t think about, but it’s critical. Virnig builds in:
- A spindle oil pressure relief vent to safeguard the seals.
- A case drain auto relief so you can visually confirm the system is working properly.
Competitors often skip these safeguards — leaving motors at risk.
Configurations and Options
Virnig lets operators tailor the mulcher to their needs:
- Cutting Widths: 60-inch (more maneuverable) or 72-inch (faster processing)
- Drum Types: Smooth drum (faster spin-up) or Bite Control (finer finish)
- Motors: Fixed or Variable Displacement (the latter automatically “delivers 30% more torque when you hit heavy material”)
- Teeth Styles:
- Steel Planer — finest mulch
- Carbide Planer — durability
- Carbide Hammer — ground engagement
All of this makes the Virnig Drum Mulcher more versatile and operator-friendly than other brands. It’s about fuel savings, reliability, and the finish you need in residential and controlled work areas.
Virnig didn’t just build another drum mulcher — they built a smarter, tougher machine that’s designed to outperform competition and lower your operating costs.
