Frequently asked questions

Which is better: a disc mulcher or a drum mulcher?

Choosing between a disc mulcher and a drum mulcher depends on your specific project and vegetation type. A disc mulcher offers fast, aggressive cutting and is great for lighter brush and small trees. However, if you’re dealing with dense vegetation, larger trees, or need a more controlled and even mulch finish, a forestry drum mulcher is the better choice. Models like the TMC Cancela mulcher and other heavy-duty drum mulchers are preferred for large-scale land clearing due to their power and consistency.

 

What is the best drum mulcher for skid steers?

The best drum mulcher depends on your machine and work requirements, but the Assassinator skid steer forestry drum mulcher and the TMC Cancela mulcher are two leading options. They are built with advanced engineering, high-strength materials, and performance-tuned motors designed to handle even the most rugged conditions. Both options are compatible with skid steers, CTLs, and MTLs, delivering exceptional results in forestry and land management tasks.

 

Is a forestry mulcher hard on a skid steer?

Yes, a forestry drum mulcher can be demanding on a skid steer, especially if the machine isn’t properly sized or maintained. High hydraulic flow and heavy resistance from tough vegetation can stress the engine and hydraulic system. To reduce wear and tear, always pair your mulcher with a skid steer that meets the required flow and pressure specifications, and perform routine maintenance to keep everything operating efficiently.

 

What size skid steer is needed to run a drum mulcher?

To run a skid steer forestry drum mulcher efficiently, you typically need a high-flow skid steer with 70 to 90 horsepower and hydraulic flow between 30 to 45 GPM. Larger mulchers, such as the TMC Cancela mulcher, may require even higher specifications. It’s also important that the skid steer weighs enough to remain stable during heavy-duty mulching, usually a minimum of 7,000 pounds.

 

How many acres can a forestry drum mulcher clear in a day?

A powerful forestry drum mulcher can clear between 2 to 4 acres per day under optimal conditions. This varies based on the terrain, vegetation density, and the power of your skid steer and mulcher setup. High-flow machines paired with efficient attachments like the TMC Cancela mulcher can significantly boost daily productivity.

 

What maintenance does a forestry drum mulcher require?

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your skid steer forestry drum mulcher running at peak performance. Check the teeth for wear, inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings, ensure the drum spins freely, and keep grease points lubricated. Also, make sure to clean the unit after each use to prevent debris buildup and reduce long-term wear.

 

What are the benefits of using a skid steer drum mulcher?

A forestry drum mulcher offers an efficient, eco-conscious method for land clearing. By turning vegetation into fine mulch, it helps with erosion control, soil enrichment, and reducing fire risk. Whether you’re using a TMC Cancela mulcher or another top-tier model, the combination of speed, precision, and reduced need for additional equipment makes it a go-to solution for forestry professionals.
