Erskine Standard Flow Skid Steer Brush Chipper
Overview
Erskine's standard flow skid steer brush chipper converts branch piles into chips on-site, eliminating hauling costs for commercial landscaping, orchards, golf courses, and acreage work. The 5-inch chipping capacity handles most residential tree debris. The independent hydraulic feed system gives the operator full control of feed rate, and the two universal SSQA mount plates allow the skid steer to be positioned perpendicular or parallel to the chipper for maximum maneuverability in tight locations. Available through Canadian dealers.

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
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.

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
