Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You need to chip brush, limbs, and slash into transportable material rather than mulching in place
- Urban tree service, brush disposal contracts, or sites where leaving mulched material is unacceptable
- You want to produce usable wood chip material for landscaping or disposal
⛔ Skip if…
- In-place mulching is acceptable — a drum mulcher processes faster without relocating the machine
- You're clearing large acreage where chip transport logistics don't make sense
🔍 Also consider…
- Drum mulcher for in-place land clearing and brush processing
- Forestry mulcher for high-volume stand clearing where material stays on site
🔧 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 your machine delivers 20–40 GPM high-flow Check your flow spec →
- Match drum vs disc mulcher to your material (trees vs brush) Drum vs disc guide →
- Verify carbide tooth compatibility for your primary soil/rock type
