THE highest HP mulcher currently running

[Robbie Hegwood]

We'll my mulching fans, I have been introduced to the highest HP mulching platform currently running. She is a beast at only 700 HP Caterpillar power (C18). Have a look below, and yes, she is for sale!

Isn't there an 800hp tracked machine on YouTube?


What kind of teeth does it use? Quadco?

Is this a Nokamic? I know I just butchered the spelling ha also I thought Prinoth had an 800hp mulcher out?

This is the 800hp carrier I was referring to.

Hey Green, yes it is. Check your facts boys, a clever play on words and numbering by Prinoth. The Raptor 800 is actually 630 hp. Close but no cigar, but still a beast itself. They had one a Conexpo in Vegas and it looked like a house sitting there. The C18 in 700 hp form makes 2349 torgue @ 1400 rpm. I bet it makes 1000 foot pounds at idle!! The other one (plaisance) is high hp but not here in the US. They tried Quadco's but were able to make there own with better results. You can change from multiple carbides options to blades. There are some video's under Nokamic on you tube.

So same motor that's in the Iron Wolf 700B. Wonder how the two compare against each other.

An interesting rig. Looks like it was built on a Forwarder chassis. It must have been repowered? Originally it should have had a 275hp Deere? Is Nokamic still in business? NOKAMIC/Products/NSS-2900/Descriptions

Hp wise, what about the large Bron, Also 700hp C-18 powered.

Nokamic was officially purchased by Foremost Canada. I had forgotten about the Bron. I only know of one Bron ever built and lets just say it is for sale, never went to work. They are trying to re-coop some of the million dollar price tag!!!!!! In looking around a little there seems to be a few 700 hp-ish options but seems the torque numbers really vary. Usual rule of thumb is whatever hp rating double for torque. But on the Deere engine is 3x more plus. Which would come in handy when the pumps load up. I believe it was built on a forwarder concept but still a custom build. If I recall correctly they had 3 sizes, 275hp, 440hp, and the 700hp shown. The 440hp was the popular one.

So I should forget saving up for an Iron Wolf?
I don't think I could afford the diesel on that beast.
