2025 Loftness Battle Ax® – Tractor BT20

Harness the performance of the Battle Ax with your existing tractor. Compatible with 540 RPM PTO tractors with 30 to 70 PTO horsepower, the Battle Ax Tractor mulching attachment uses its unique rotor design to efficiently mulch unwanted vegetation on your property. Plus, the Loftness® exclusive two-stage cutting chamber helps you process material more thoroughly and more consistently for quicker decomposition and a nicer look, if desired.

The Battle Ax comes standard with a 2-year warranty. Simply purchase a Battle Ax Tractor, 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, located on the rear bumper. Then, a secondary shear bar behind the front bumper drives material back down into the knives for further processing before it is discharged to the ground.

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

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

The Battle Ax Tractor uses a cam-type PTO kickout that protects against damage without the hassle of a clutch pack.

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 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 blades or double carbide teeth.

• This exclusive tooth arrangement ensures single-tooth contact with the work surface at all times while maintaining optimal rotor balance.

• The Battle Ax Tractor hitch is adaptable from Cat I to Cat II, free-link or quick hitch. The mulcher can be centered or positioned 16 inches offset to the right.

• A cam-type PTO kickout protects the gearbox from damage without a clutch pack.

• 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.
