Werk-Brau NOX Tiltrotators Feature Compact Design
New Werk-Brau Nox tiltrotators provide 360-degrees of endless rotation with a tilt angle of 2 x 50-degrees allowing greater versatility with a wide range of attachments.
With a strong, compact design, this versatile tool transforms excavators into multi-functional carriers that work in deep trenches, under or between existing pipes and tubes, and in other confined space applications.
Ideal for use with fork tines, grabs, grippers, buckets, and more, this technology allow operators to complete projects without repositioning the carrier. This allows faster, safer, more efficient project completion, shaving up to 25 percent from the project time, according to the manufacturer.
A range of Werk-Brau NOX tiltrotators are available for excavators in various classes and categories, from 3 to 25 tons.
With integrated hydraulics and no components protruding from the compact design, the risk of damaging hydraulic cylinders, hoses or other components is very small. There are minimal wear parts, and only two fittings that require grease, so maintenance time and consumables are minimized.
A special cast housing provides stability and a long service life, even in adverse conditions. An elliptical rotary actuator provides a low overall height and a narrow width with no cylinders. The wider tilt angle allows greater flexibility. A robust, low-mainte-
nance worm drive is designed for difficult tasks. Industrial valves provide long service life. Safety is assured due to the D-Lock coupler, which locks front and rear pins and does not require a safety pin. D-Lock couplers are to ISO 13031, Australian standard AS4772-2008, European EN474 standard, and all major contractor policies. The NOXPROP+ control system provides convenient and effective control of the NOX tiltrotator, quick coupler and mounted attachments. Easily retrofittable for every excavator, the attached touchscreen allows individual assignment of functions and easy menu navigation. Integrated GPS, LTE, Bluetooth and WiFi antennas link the machine to the digital working world. When combined with SmartTag, the system can be connected to fleet management systems. A range of Werk-Brau NOX tiltrotators are available for excavators in various classes NOXPROP+ is pre-equipped for future and categories, from 3 to 25 tons. assistance functions such as dynamic scales, 2D height and depth display, BPM and fleet management or copilot systems.

Ditch Witch MT164 Brings Power, Flexibility to Job Sites
Built to help power and fiber-optic contractors easily create a clean, narrow trench in one pass, the new Ditch Witch MT164 microtrencher attachment offers maximum compact cable installation performance.
Equipped with a standard hydraulic plunge and option to offset the frame, the MT164 provides variable depth control and gives contractors the ability to cut right up next to a curb, increasing productivity. The MT164 can trench up to 2 in. wide by 16 in. deep, allowing crews to cut deep enough to get through a standard-sized curb. It also can be set up for a push or pull application depending on the job site.
The microtrencher’s compact footprint provides operators increased flexibility with minimal disruption to surrounding infrastructure in urban areas. Additionally, contractors can more easily cross-cut roads, trenching from curb to curb.
The MT164 is part of a complete microtrenching system that includes a construction-grade lineup of the Ditch Witch SK3000 stand-on skid steer and the Ditch Witch HX75 vacuum excavator.


From towering sand dunes and refreshing lakes to forested retreats and cool caverns, Oklahoma’s state parks are ready to whisk adventurers away on great outdoor experiences.
Whether lacing up a pair of hiking boots or looking for some relaxing fun in the sun, the scenic beauty of these varied ecoregions and impressive natural resources is sure to provide breathtaking moments. But how exactly do these environments remain so picturesque?
Enter Josh Baker, a forestry technician with one of the Oklahoma State Parks Department’s regional construction crews. Baker and his colleagues utilize two of Diamond Mowers’ SK Disc Mulcher Pro X attachments on their compact track loaders (CTLs) to not only shred Cedar, Cottonwood, Oak and Salt Cedar trees common in their service areas, but also clear roadways, campsites, hiking trails, fence lines, mower pathways and more.
Before purchasing their Diamond Mowers disc mulchers, Baker and his team were limited to cutting everything they encountered by hand. Then they realize Diamond attachments were ideal for use in rural environments — the versatile 60 in. attachments can cut through trees as large as 14 in. in diameter and continuously mulch material up to 6 in. in diameter.
Four-point hardened steel teeth inside the deck shell act like axe blades to slice though broken branches and trees, while their aggressive design effectively grabs and pulls in material for processing.

The Oklahoma State Parks Department’s regional construction crews utilize two of Diamond Mowers’ SK Disc Mulcher Pro X attachments on their compact track loaders (CTLs) to not only shred Cedar, Cottonwood, Oak and Salt Cedar trees common in their service areas, but also clear roadways, campsites, hiking trails, fence lines, mower pathways and more.
added Baker. “They attach to our CTLs quickly and easily, and after watching a few tutorial videos on proper operating techniques, they were a breeze to get the hang of.”
Baker noted that the difference between what the mulchers do compared to cutting everything by hand is “unmatched.” Between land clearing, site preparation, forestry management and even storm and disaster cleanup, the Disc Mulcher Pro X’s versatility has proven to be a key ally for tackling a variety of applications.
The SK Disc Mulcher Pro X is available in two sizes: a 48 in. unit optimal for smaller skid-steers operating in compact spaces, and a 60 in. unit ideal for tackling projects in open, rural areas where there’s a need to clear large areas quickly. It is available with three motor options and is compatible with both standard and high-flow hydraulic machines.
When asked about the value and cost of the disc mulchers, Baker reiterated how important they’ve been to him and his team.
“The design of the attachments and their ease of operation has allowed us to increase efficiency like never before. If I were in the market for a mulcher, I’d purchase this one and be extremely happy,” said Baker.
Diamond Mowers offers a wide range of specialized cutting attachments compatible with most tractor, skid-steer, wheel loader, and excavator brands.
