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
🔧 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

How to Connect

  1. Attach mulcher head using Bob-Tach
  2. Connect high-flow hydraulic couplers
  3. Verify rotor direction — debris should eject downward, not toward operator
  4. 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.
