Virnig’s X30 Mini Excavator Rotary Brush Cutter offers a range of motor options to ideally match compatibility with your equipment.
Here at Virnig Manufacturing, we continually strive to offer the most versatile, high-performance attachments that match a wide range of machines. That's why our X30 Mini Excavator Rotary Brush Cutter comes with two or four motor options that allow you to tailor the cutter to your machine's specifications. With our newly released 48" model, there are four motor options to choose from. The 42" model now offers two motor options.
48" MODEL MOTOR OPTIONS (Gallons per Minute)
15-22 GPM | 22-28 GPM | 28-35 GPM | 35-38 GPM
42" MODEL MOTOR OPTIONS (Gallons per Minute)
15-25 GPM | 22-28 GPM
But what happens if your excavator's auxiliary flow rate falls in the 22-25 GPM range and is compatible with BOTH motor options for the 42" model? How do you decide which motor is best for your needs? Here's a closer look at how each motor performs, and what that means for different types of tasks.
CHOOSING BETWEEN MOTOR OPTIONS FOR THE 42" MODEL
If your machine is within that "sweet spot" of 22-25 GPM, you have the flexibility to choose between the XBC42-25 (15-25 GPM) and XBC42-28 (22-28 GPM) models. While both are compatible, they offer distinct advantages based on the type of work you tackle.
XBC42-25: OPTIMIZED FOR SPEED
The XBC42-25 delivers 40% higher blade tip speed, making it ideal for handling fine vegetation and grasses. This cutter is perfect for applications where a clean, fast cut is required. If you are focusing on maintenance tasks like trimming grass and small brush or need a more refined finish, this motor will get the job done efficiently. Its faster blade tip speed allows for more precise cuts, keeping your job site clean and polished.
XBC42-28: OPTIMIZED FOR POWER
On the other hand, the XBC42-28 provides 40% more torque, which translates to higher cutting power. If your work often involves tackling thicker brush, trees, and heavy vegetation, this motor is the right choice. The added torque ensures the cutter can power through tough material without stalling, making it the go-to option for demanding tasks where cutting power takes priority over speed.
MATCHING THE TOOL TO THE TASK
Whether you need speed for light vegetation or power for dense underbrush, the X30 Mini Excavator Rotary Brush Cutter can be customized to meet your needs. It starts with choosing the right motor to ensure your equipment operates at peak efficiency. Additional options like side curtains and carbide teeth only make your job easier, faster, and more effective.
