2025 Loftness Battle Ax® – 20 Series 31BX20

2025 Loftness Battle Ax® – 20 Series 31BX20

The 20 Series Battle Ax is optimized for use on excavators ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 pounds. It features the popular depth gauge design and Loftness® exclusive two-stage cutting chamber. This maximizes performance and gives you the ability to create some of the smallest particle sizes in the industry. And it’s all backed by Loftness’ superior customer support and large dealer network.

The Battle Ax comes standard with a 2-year warranty. Simply purchase an 20 Series, and you’ll be automatically enrolled in a warranty that’s twice as long as most others are willing to offer.

Our exclusive two-stage cutting chamber provides the ability to cut material twice, which is why Loftness machines are known to process material more thoroughly than competitive units. Material is first cut against the primary shear bar, which is adjustable, so the clearance can be narrowed or widened depending upon the desired material size and production rate. From there, the partially reduced material passes smoothly to the secondary cutting chamber behind the front bumper, where it’s processed further before being discharged toward the ground.

The 20 Series Battle Ax features a 45cc high-pressure gear motor for excavators with hydraulic systems ranging from 15 to 35.9 gallons per minute and up to 4,100 PSI (20 to 70 hydraulic horsepower). This reliable motor turns the rotor from 1,700 to 2,300 RPM.

It doesn’t get any easier to reverse or replace teeth. All you need to do is remove one hex bolt.

A specialized staggered/spiral tooth pattern ensures single-tooth contact with the work surface at all times while maintaining optimal rotor balance.

Nobody likes removing vines or other debris that’s wrapped around the rotor bearings. Our specialized anti-wrap rings keep this to a minimum.

Features may include:

• The Battle Ax rotor design uses built-in depth gauges to control cutting depth, like raker teeth on a chainsaw.

• Two shear bars allow the Battle Ax to produce a finer mulch with fewer passes. The primary shear bar is adjustable for controlling particle sizes.

• The cutting teeth are mounted to the rotor with a single bolt. They can be easily reversed, replaced or removed on the jobsite using a common hex socket.

• Choose from 4-point beaver teeth, Quadco reversible planer teeth or Double Carbide Teeth.

• The 20 Series Battle Ax features a 45cc high-pressure gear motor for excavators with hydraulic systems ranging from 15 to 35.9 gallons per minute and up to 4,100 PSI (20 to 70 hydraulic horsepower). This reliable motor turns the rotor from 1,700 to 2,300 RPM.

• A three-groove banded belt system efficiently transfers power to the rotor.

• Rotor ends are machine turned to mate with close tolerance, machined anti-wrap rings, which minimize debris in the bearing chamber.

• The Battle Ax is constructed of high-strength steel to withstand some of the toughest operating conditions.

• Running the entire length of the mulching attachment, steel deflector chains improve safety by reducing flying debris.
