Skid Pro Industrial Forestry Mulcher

Overview

Skid Pro's Industrial Forestry Mulcher is a high-flow drum mulcher rated for trees, stumps, and heavy brush. Built with an HD frame, reinforced push bar, dynamically balanced rotor, and carbide-faced teeth. The drive system uses flex couplers to protect the motor and extend service life. Designed for pipeline corridor clearing, acreage land clearing, and right-of-way maintenance. Skid Pro ships to Canada.

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-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.

About Skid Pro in Canada

Skid Pro manufactures attachments in the USA and has a strong Canadian distribution footprint. Their catalog covers most common attachment types with a focus on durability and value for everyday contractor use.

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

  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.
