Slasher vs Mulcher
A Slasher
is not just
a Slasher
“Since purchasing a Woods slasher we do not need to use our mulcher.
A woods slasher does not leave a windrow, distributes material evenly and allows us to work faster than when we were using mulchers.
The lower operating costs and the ease of operation for both the tractor and operator make the decision to purchase a Woods slasher an easy one.”

SAFETY FIRST
OH&S Features unique to Woods slashers
- Change blades from above the machine: no risk to operators or maintenance crews of having to get under slasher to change the blades. Slasher does not need to be on stands.
- Quick Change Blade System removes labour and material to change blades: only light hand tools required to change blades. No oxy or grinding risk.
- Will not leave a windrow: superior material discharge management as material will be spread evenly across the back of the slasher limiting risk to plant and personnel.
- 38mm blade pin: is 4x stronger than the standard 3/4” bolt on standard slasher. A 3/4” bolt is more likely to wear through and throw blades.
- Tip Speed is not excessive: Woods tip speed is efficient for design of slasher. Excessive tip speed is not tolerant to hitting objects increasing chances of breaking/throwing blades.
A SLASHER is not just a slasher
EFFICIENCY
Operating and R&M Cost Efficiency
- Full structural sub frame increases integrity of slasher making it more durable than other slashers and fitting for our Australian conditions.
- Machined gearbox hubs and tight tolerance steel shield will prevent any material affecting lower gearbox seal ensuring long life out of gearbox with no oil leaks.
- Driveline hanger will prevent dirt and water affecting shaft when removed from tractor.
- 38mm blade pin is 4x stronger than standard blade bolt so is slower wearing than others.
- Quick change blade pin system allows operators to change blades within 5 minutes with light hand tools. Can be completed roadside reducing downtime of machines.
- Greaseable blade pins ensure long life of blades and pins lowering R&M costs.
- Stump jumper allows for less shocks to gearbox and blades can spin 360° upon impact compare to a beam where large shocks emitted to gearbox and blades can become wedged in beam.
- Large deck clearance allows for large volume of material to be cut without choking and uses less HP and fuel.
