Bobcat Forestry Mulcher for Skid Steers
Overview
Bobcat's forestry mulcher uses a high-speed drum with carbide-tipped hammers to shred trees, shrubs, and brush in place. Eliminates hauling debris and leaves a mulched bed that suppresses weeds. Requires high-flow hydraulics and is rated for trees up to approximately 4 inches diameter. Used on Canadian pipeline corridors, powerline rights-of-way, and rural acreage clearing. Available through Bobcat dealers.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You're processing brush, saplings, and slash in place — drum mulchers handle mixed material up to 6 inches
- Land clearing, pipeline corridor prep, or right-of-way maintenance where material stays on site
- Your machine has the high-flow hydraulics required — drum mulchers typically need 25-35+ GPM
⛔ Skip if…
- Your skid steer is standard-flow — most drum mulchers require high-flow to run efficiently
- Tree diameter exceeds 8 inches regularly — a dedicated forestry mulcher or felling head handles larger material
🔍 Also consider…
- Forestry mulcher for heavier timber and larger diameter material
- Rotary cutter or brush cutter if material size is consistently under 3 inches
