FAE UMM/S/EX: forestry mulcher head from the Italian manufacturer for excavators between 25 and 40 tonnes operating weight, shredding vegetation directly at the carrier

FAE is an Italian manufacturer of attachments for forestry and soil work, based in northern Italy, known chiefly for mulcher heads, rock cutters and tillers mounted on excavators, wheel loaders and tractors. The UMM/S/EX belongs to the forestry mulcher category and is listed as a head for excavators.

The register lists an excavator carrier machine for the UMM/S/EX with an operating weight between 25 and 40 tonnes. For an attachment head like this, that weight range determines the size class: the mulcher head itself is not sized by its own power output but by how much hydraulic power and attachment weight the carrier machine supplies and can carry.

Forestry mulchers such as the UMM/S/EX shred vegetation, stumps and leftover wood on the spot, instead of felling and hauling it away. Mounted on an excavator, the head can be worked precisely via the boom on slopes, in ditches and in rough terrain that a carrier with a front-mounted attachment could not reach. The quick coupler and hydraulic connections have to match the excavator's control circuit.

When buying used, the condition of the rotor shaft and its bearings matters most, since imbalance from worn or missing rotor tools quickly wrecks the bearings. Hydraulic motors and lines should be checked for leaks, the housing for cracks, and weld seams for rework, which can point to earlier damage from stones or stumps.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
