Commonly Asked Questions
It all comes down to your land-clearing needs when deciding between a skid steer forestry disc mulcher and a drum mulcher. If you are looking for fast, aggressive cutting, a disc mulcher is the way to go. With its high-speed spinning disc and over 44 teeth, it slices through thick vegetation effortlessly, making it perfect for large-scale clearing projects. It can handle trees up to 15 inches in diameter with ease. However, since it throws debris outward, it’s best used in open areas. One big advantage of a disc mulcher is its low maintenance—with fewer moving parts, you can spend more time working and less time on upkeep.
On the other hand, a drum mulcher is all about precision and fine mulching. It uses a rotating drum to grind material into a finer mulch, making it ideal for clearing dense underbrush, smaller trees, and working near structures or trails. It provides better control, a cleaner finish, and is safer in populated areas since it contains debris more effectively. However, it does work slower than a disc mulcher and struggles with trees larger than 8-10 inches in diameter. Plus, with more moving parts, it requires more maintenance to keep it running smoothly. If speed and raw cutting power are what you need, go with a disc mulcher. But if precision, finer mulch, and safety in tight spaces are a priority, a drum mulcher is the better choice.
- To use a forestry disc mulcher, attach it to a skid steer loader.
- Power up the skid steer forestry disc mulcher and allow it to warm up.
- Engage the mulcher's hydraulic system to bring the disc up to full speed.
- Keep the mulcher slightly above the ground before making contact with vegetation.
- Adjust the mulcher height accordingly while mulching small trees and brush, large trees, ground-level mulching, and clearing thick areas.
- Use the adjustable push bar to guide trees into the disc.
- Keep the mulcher level on uneven ground, it may lead to kickbacks
- Lift the mulcher slightly on hard or rocky ground to avoid damaging the teeth and flywheel.
- Once the job is completed, disengage the hydraulic system and allow the disc to stop completely.
Yes, a high-flow skid steer is necessary for a disc mulcher to cut through dense vegetation and thicker trees. A high-flow hydraulic system, usually operating at 25-30+ gallons per minute, ensures a consistent power supply to the disc mulcher attachment needed for cutting through trees with a 15-inch diameter.
Our skid steer disc mulcher cuts trees in 15 inches in diameter.
Regular maintenance of skid steer disc mulcher is necessary to improve its operational efficiency.
- Start by inspecting the teeth. Over time, the teeth on the disc mulcher will wear due to regular contact with vegetation and trees.
- Regularly grease the pins, bearings, and other moving parts to reduce friction and ensure smooth lubrication.
- Inspect the hydraulic hoses and connections for leaks, damage, and abrasion.
- Check the flywheel for any signs of dents, cracks, and wear.
- Clean the mulcher thoroughly to remove debris, dirt, and plant materials.
- Inspect skid shoes and push bar to ensure they are working properly.
- Inspect the reinforced deck and guards for any signs of dents, cracks, and damage.
- Monitor the hydraulic flow and pressure of the mulcher.
- Check for the signs of wear and damage in the discharge deflector.
- Monitor oil levels and look for any signs of contamination and wear and tear.
Operating a disc mulcher can be dangerous if proper safety precautions aren’t followed. Here are safety guidelines to ensure safe operation of the disc mulcher.
- Wear protective gear.
- Inspect the equipment before use.
- Clear the work area.
- Operate with caution.
- Be aware of flying debris.
- Use a polycarbonate door for safety.
- Shut down safely.
- Never modify safety guards or covers.
