Land clearing mulcher

The Bradco Magnum Land Clearing Mulcher powers the drum at speeds up to 2,000 rpm to shred trees, brush and ground vegetation up to eight inches in diameter. Attaching to excavators, skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders, it is available in widths of 36, 60 and 72 inches – depending on the machine and application. Fixed hammers hold a variety of carbide single-, double-, claw- and reversible-teeth configurations.

The mulcher uses a hydraulically driven, self-aligning, cogged belt drive that is designed at 200 percent of the rated horsepower to minimize belt slippage and breakage. Its balanced, thick wall drum has a 2.5-inch alloy steel shaft to handle rugged vegetation without bending or breaking. Adjustable skid plates set the operating height to keep the drum out of the dirt and maximize mulching power. The multiple-position push bar helps keep material in the drum area for effective mulching.

The 60- and 72-inch skid steer models offer a hydraulic deflector door to control the particle size and discharge direction. The four-inch hydraulic pressure gauge can also be easily seen to help the operator better monitor mulching performance. 

For rigorous applications, extended use or large jobs, an optional oil cooler is available to minimize oil heating. It is mounted on the mulcher’s hood, doesn’t require additional hydraulic connections and includes a check valve that protects against reverse oil flow.

The 36-inch excavator model utilizes a patent pending tree stabilization guide. It supports standing trees while cutting from the top down. This limits the tree deflection during the cutting process to enhance control and increase productivity.
