Blue Diamond 72-Inch Disc Mulcher Skid Steer
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
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
