A Look at The Disc Mulcher Annihilator: The Best Skid Steer Disc Mulcher On the Market
Our Annihilator is ideal for various job sites because it combines the power, ease of use, and durability of our forestry disc mulcher attachments with the productivity benefits of a skid steer. Our portable skid steer disc mulcher attachment is made to be fast, efficient, and highly durable, so you can get the work done quickly. You may rely on our mulcher for skid steer to remove vegetation rapidly and effectively, whether clearing farmland, right-of-ways, or pathways.
The Annihilator is designed with you in mind and is compatible with skid steers, CTL, and MTL machines. The Annihilator will tackle the harshest environments with a direct drive machine powered by a bent axis piston engine.
The Annihilator comes with a hydraulic pressure gauge to get the most out of your disc mulcher. When the pressure builds up, you back off, and when it’s low, you can run into the material faster. This function is crucial to optimizing your skid steer disc mulcher’s output in order for it to work two times as hard as a traditional mulching system. If you’re searching for a Skid Steer Disc attachment that will last, the Annihilator is an excellent option for forestry management.
Disc Mulcher Annihilator Stats
What is the most significant benefit of using our disc mulcher? The enormous weight of a completely machined forestry disc and the power and torque of the Bent Axis Piston combine to give the energy and momentum needed to mulch trees and brush. With hydraulic power and formidable blades, these devices have a cutting width of up to 14 inches. When it’s time to get the work done, nothing is more efficient than our forestry disc mulcher.
Carbide teeth have a 3 to 5 times longer shelf life than steel and require no maintenance. Our carbide teeth are made for slicing through thick terrain while withstanding maximum ground contact. The Disc Mulcher Annihilator’s 3/8-inch deck thickness effectively controls material flow through the mulching chamber. This results in fewer interruptions during land clearing. You won’t find a skid steer disc mulcher that performs at the same level as the Annihilator.
Size Options
Each Annihilator is built to fit your specific skid steer. This customization lets you get the most out of your skid-steer loader and disc mulcher. To ensure maximum compatibility, we recommend you check the load capacity of your skid steer loader before determining your Annihilator size.

How to Use the Disc Mulcher Annihilator
1: Keep the Annihilator Close to the Ground for an Even Cut
Because of its weight and fast cutting speed, the Annihilator is best kept close to the ground, giving your attachment constant support.
2: Take Safety Precautions
When your attachment is in use, it will fling mulch and hefty debris across the work site. Rather than risk unintentional harm or damage, make sure your path is accessible. To prevent injury, bystanders should be at least 300 feet away from the attachment.
3: Change Your Speed
The hydraulic gauge produces a lot of pressure while working, so you’ll need to regulate your speeds to optimize your output. Back off your speed as the pressure rises, and then return to work faster when it goes down again. This is an excellent method to maintain the equilibrium in your machine.
4: Clean Your Attachment Regularly
Removing large-duty limbs, trees, and branches presents a range of debris possibilities. Removing all unwanted waste between uses is critical to ensure your Annihilator can cut at its maximum potential.
5: Stop If You Experience Abnormal Vibrations or Sounds
Check for damage or blocked debris if you hear any strange rattling or strong vibrations while using it. If you’re unsure what’s going on, stop and clean out the disc mulcher for skid steers.
Keep the Following in Mind When Eliminating Trees:
- Find the tree you wish to remove, then engage the cutter in a smooth motion.
- Cut through the tree's base cleanly in order to produce only a stump.
- Continue cutting trees in sections, giving your skid steer attachment enough time to chop a tree's base before moving on.
- Use the tree cutter to remove limbs and other branches hanging or growing along the tree.
- Center your mulching teeth over the wood and grind down the remainder of the stump if it proves to be stubborn.
Is a Skid Steer Disc Mulcher or Drum Mulcher Better?
Drum mulchers are cylindrical skid steer attachments with carbide teeth or hardened steel rings that devour vegetation. Disc mulchers resemble a huge disk and have mulching teeth to eradicate trees easily. With the aid of stored energy and hydraulic force, disc mulchers easily cut down growth.
Both skid steer mulcher attachments have benefits and drawbacks. The services that either mulcher may provide will be beneficial to your project. Your selection will be determined by your demands as well as the size of the job. A drum mulcher might be a safer option for bystanders if you’re working in an urban environment.
A disc mulcher, on the other hand, can tackle almost any growth terrain. A disc mulcher is ideal for eliminating thick trees and bushes in a rural location. A disc mulcher would be appropriate if you live in a rural area with dense trees and shrubs.
Is Forestry Mulching Worth It?
If you have a large area that needs to be cleared, mulching is definitely worth the effort. This mulching method is a great way to quickly turn a wooded area into usable land without having to haul away all debris. The mulching process itself is environmentally friendly and doesn’t require the use of any chemicals.
Not only does mulching help clear an area, but it also returns nutrients to the soil as the mulch decomposes. Mulching is also an excellent way to prepare a piece of land for construction or another project.
