Fecon BTX72SS 72-Inch Mulcher for Skid Steers
Overview
The 72-inch-inch mulcher grinds brush, saplings, stumps, and slash into mulch on Canadian land-clearing and right-of-way projects. Fecon mulchers and forestry attachments are available through Canadian dealers, well known for high-output clearing on Canadian pipeline and powerline right-of-ways. High-flow hydraulics are required — verify your skid steer's auxiliary flow before ordering. Mulching eliminates burn piles and leaves a site ready for reseeding or construction. Available in Canada through Fecon 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
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
