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
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.

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.
