Overview
Blue Diamond's 72-inch disc mulcher uses a high-speed cutting disc to mulch brush, small trees, and overgrown vegetation on land clearing and right-of-way maintenance work. Disc mulchers are faster than drum mulchers in lighter brush but excel in woody terrain. Available through Blue Diamond's Canadian dealer network.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You're clearing brush and small trees up to 6 inches in diameter on land clearing or pipeline right-of-way work
- Disc mulchers provide aggressive cutting power for established brush with thick stems
- Your machine has the hydraulic flow capacity to power a disc-style head at full speed
⛔ Skip if…
- Material size is under 3 inches — a drum mulcher or brush cutter is simpler and costs less
- Ground contact and stumping are frequent — disc heads are more vulnerable to ground strikes than drums
🔍 Also consider…
- Drum mulcher for mixed vegetation and frequent ground contact work
- Forestry mulcher for high-volume clearing with heavier tree diameters
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid to large-frame machines (S450–S750 class) are the best fit for this width.

Care & Maintenance
- Inspect carbide hammers or teeth before every use — missing or broken hammers unbalance the rotor and can cause catastrophic motor damage at high RPM
- Replace worn teeth in matched sets across the rotor — even one missing hammer creates vibration destructive enough to damage drive motor bearings
- Grease rotor shaft bearing housings every 4–8 hours of operation, or more frequently in dusty or abrasive conditions
- Clean packed fibrous material from the housing interior and rotor after every session — buildup adds asymmetric weight and creates rotor imbalance
- Check the hydraulic motor case drain line monthly for leakage — a restricted or failed case drain causes motor shaft seal failure and internal leakage
How to Connect
- Attach mulcher head using Bob-Tach
- Connect high-flow hydraulic couplers
- Verify rotor direction — debris should eject downward, not toward operator
- Run at idle for 30 seconds before engaging rotor at working speed
⚠ Safety NoteMulchers are high-flow only (25-45 GPM+) — do not run on standard flow machines. Wear full PPE — flying debris risk.
🌲 Before You Buy a Mulcher
Mulchers are high-investment, high-flow attachments — the wrong match to your machine costs you in performance and potentially in repairs.

Confirm Machine Fit
Verify your machine's hydraulic flow meets this attachment's requirements before ordering. High-flow attachments need 25–45+ GPM — standard flow machines won't run them properly.
