Dick – Just wanted to send you a quick note letting you know I’m officially a proud owner of an X4 Industrial Brush Cutter Open Front, and SP500 Forestry Mulcher. I have also made my brush & tree mastication and fire mitigation business official. Like we talked, both of the Skid Pro products will be the obvious back bone of my operation. I’ve got a bunch of before and after photos, along w/ videos if any of your prospective customers would want to check them out. And if there is anyone in northern California or southern Oregon needing a product demo, I would be happy to facilitate that as well. Thanks for providing incredibly innovative products of the highest quality, built for day-in and day-out commercial use. I look forward to many years of using Skid Pro products to help me grow my business.

Hi Eric, Things are going great with my 48” mulcher on my standard flow Bobcat T190 (16 gpm). It took a little seat-time to figure out the quickest method, but I have it down now. I can line up piles and work through them or take down bushes and small trees in short order. The biggest I've gone through so far is 5-6 inches. The oak and pine chop up quickly, but the manzanita that's very hard takes a few passes. It is however much faster than what I was doing before by cutting the Manzanita down then running it through a chipper. I’m far more productive and have reduced my hand labor to almost zero. Thanks again for a great product and service!

It is very reassuring buying equipment from a company that has customer service like yours and products that back it up. Thank you for your help!
Commonly Asked Questions
In the skid steer industry, there are a couple types of mulcher. You have both a disc mulcher and a drum mulcher. The drum mulcher is different as the teeth are mounted to a large steel drum, allowing you to push direct down or from the front on your mulcher. The skid steer drum mulcher also allows for a slight below ground cut, making it ideal for land clearing.
A forestry drum mulcher and a brush mulcher are machines used to clear vegetation, but they work slightly differently. Drum Mulcher uses a large, rotating drum with teeth that spins rapidly to chop up trees, branches, and shrubs. On the other hand, brush mulcher uses a set of spinning blades or a rotor to cut through smaller brush, grasses, and lighter vegetation.
This skid steer drum mulcher is built to take on any of your forestry needs as it is forestry-rated. We offer a wide range of sizes, and this mulcher is the smallest. However, it has its place as both a personal use option and when you don't clear trees consistently in your work.
Drum mulchers are highly efficient for land clearing, quickly turning trees and brush into mulch. They offer versatility, compact operation in tight spaces, and eco-friendly mulching that improves soil quality. When paired with a skid steer, they can easily maneuver and handle heavy-duty jobs.
The main difference between a drum mulcher and a disc mulcher is in their cutting mechanism. A drum mulcher uses a rotating drum with sharp teeth to grind up material, offering more torque and power for tough, dense vegetation. A disc mulcher, on the other hand, uses a rotating disc with blades to slice through brush and trees, often providing a cleaner cut for lighter materials. Disc mulchers tend to be less aggressive than drum mulchers.
The lifespan of the teeth on a skid steer forestry drum mulcher can vary based on usage, terrain, and the type of material being mulched. On average, the carbide-faced teeth can last anywhere from 500 to 1,000 hours, but they may need replacement sooner if used on particularly hard or abrasive materials.
The maximum cutting depth of a skid steer drum mulcher typically ranges from 1 inch below grade to 3 inches below grade, depending on the model and the material being mulched. Our mulcher possess the maximum cutting depth of 1 inch below grade.
