The Fecon FTX150-2 mulching tractor with fire package wows firefighters and land management pros with its power and precision in creating firebreaks.

In the rugged hills of Tonner Canyon, Fecon brought the heat to showcase how our FTX150-2 mulching tractor with the fire package is a game-changer for battling California’s wildfires. Led by West Coast Regional Sales Manager Marc Rivas, the hands-on event drew pros from LA County Fire Department, Moreno Fire Department, Cal Fire, USDA, and Wildlife Fish and Game, all eager to get dirty and see this beast in action.

We kicked things off with a solid safety huddle, covering gear, controls, and safe spacing around the machine. Then, it was up the canyon to chew through vegetation, carving out firebreak lines and clearing rights-of-way. Attendees jumped in the seat, feeling the raw power of the 155HP Cummins engine and the Fecon Power Management system that delivers lightning-fast recovery times even in rocky terrain where our durable carbides held strong without skipping a beat.

The FTX150-2’s fire package shines with features like the TriMax Fire Suppression System, severe-duty air pre-cleaners for engine and HVAC, and a positive air shut-off to keep things safe in high-risk zones. Add in the 60 GPM hydraulics at 5,000 PSI, 20-inch steel tracks with 21-inch ground clearance, and loader arms for precise control, and you’ve got a mulcher built to create defensible spaces, remove underbrush, and slash wildfire fuel loads without the mess of traditional methods.

“You can check out videos and specs online, but nothing beats grinding through the brush yourself,” Rivas shared. “Everyone raved about the power and how it tackles tough jobs head-on.”

After the morning grind, we fueled up with lunch, walked around more units, and chatted options like leasing, rental-purchase, and buying straight up. It was all about real talk for fire departments and land agencies looking to gear up against the next blaze.
