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!

Hi Mike – The backhoe and HF forestry mulcher are awesome! They are doing exactly what we needed them for. Customer service at your company has been top notch. 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
A skid steer mulcher is a useful and versatile vegetation clearing attachment. When looking for a mulcher for you skid steer or track loader, there are a couple of different kinds. First, you have a disc mulcher, which is similar to a brush cutter but with large mulching teeth. This mulcher is what we call a drum mulcher, where the teeth are mounted on a drum and spin straight down on what you want to mulch. There are uses and benefits to both, but it important to know what final outcome you are looking for.
This SP500 mulcher comes in both high flow and standard flow. The benefit to this is we do a motor match in order to make sure you get an attachment that runs smoothly on your skid steer.
This is one of the most common questions we get from people that are inquiring about our attachments. The big question is how much you are going to use it. If you are using your mulcher one time, then of course we would suggest just renting one. If you are going to be running it fairly often or even for industrial or commercial use, then we would suggest purchasing one. Skid steer mulchers run about $700 to $800 per day that you rent them, so a couple years of use will easily pay you back.
