Selecting drum mulchers for skid steers
To select a drum mulcher for a skid steer, consider several factors to ensure optimal performance.

The horsepower, hydraulic flow and operating capacity of the host machine should guide drum

mulcher selection. There needs to be enough flow and pressure, and the machine needs to be compatible with the hydraulic line configuration. The 60-inch working width of both the heavy duty and severe duty drum mulchers make them well suited for most machines.

The type of brush or wood that will be mulched, as well as the desired finished product, will determine the type of teeth capable of providing the best results. Chipping teeth work well for soft wood, since the sharp cutting edge can quickly produce a finer mulch. Carbide teeth are better suited for harder woods that tend to splinter and produce a larger material, as they are more durable for taking on the task.

Weight and working width
Blue Diamond drum mulchers range in weight from 2,105 pounds to 2,560 pounds, making them a versatile attachment for skid steers and compact track loaders. Each drum mulcher is available in a 60-inch width.

Hydraulic flow

The heavy duty mulcher line is designed to maximize performance across both low and high-flow machines, with a hydraulic range flow from 22 to 46 GPM and the option of 3- or 5-line hydraulic configurations.

Blue Diamond provides the option for a closed or open loop hydraulic system configuration, requiring 35 to 52 GPM flow for its severe duty drum mulchers.

Performance categories
Blue Diamond offers multiple drum mulchers with a choice of teeth, hydraulic configurations and couplers:

• 60” heavy duty models with chipping teeth or carbide teeth, 3- or 5-line hydraulic configurations and 1/2" coupler
• 60” heavy duty models with chipping teeth or carbide teeth, 3- or 5-line hydraulic configurations and 3/4" coupler
• 60” severe duty models with chipping teeth or carbide teeth

The heavy duty drum mulchers are available in eight different models to fit any skid steer or compact track loader application and are ideal for land clearing and for property development. A standard hydraulic gate on the drum mulcher ensures optimal material flow control.

The severe duty drum mulchers are designed for clearing brush and heavy mulching and are available in two models. These drum mulchers feature a 34-tooth bite control cutting drum to control the depth of the cut and ensure efficient rotor operation, along with a low-profile tooth anvil with a secondary edge guard and single bolt tooth fastening. The drum mulcher body is constructed of a durable 3/8-inch high-strength steel.

Built-in features

Blue Diamond drum mulchers feature a rotor with replaceable shafts and fixed teeth in helical position with “P-CUT” bite limiters. These bite limiters control the depth of cutting, resulting in consistent material size and reduced vibration for longer product life and improved operator comfort.

Blue Diamond drum mulchers feature hydraulic motor case overpressure protection to minimize heat and reduce the risk of pressure buildup that could lead to leaks or damage to internal components.

An adjustable push bar provides greater control of the cut depth and angle during mulching and improves material flow for more efficient operation, while the adjustable skid shoes, which are replaceable on severe duty models, offer two depth positions for precise operation.

A synchronous drive belt with heavy duty drum bearings and polychain carbon fiber drive belts transmit the appropriate power for the mulching application, while also increasing efficiency.
