Drum Mulcher Compact Excavator Attachment
Bobcat drum mulchers for compact excavators are the ideal attachment for clearing trees and heavy brush along roadsides, riverbanks and other hard-to-reach areas.
- Mulch heavy brush, overgrowth and trees up to 5 inches thick
- Three models available: 28-inch 28DMX, 36-inch 36DMX and 50-inch 50DMX
- Available for excavators ranging from 4 tons to 8 tons, with performance carefully tuned to match the flow and pressure of your excavator
- Axial piston hydraulic motors help optimize rotor speed and torque for maximum productivity
Features & Benefits
Split-Ring Rotor With Bite Control
The split-ring rotor is designed to limit the knife tools' engagement while maintaining higher rotor rpms for efficient mulching of trees and heavy brush. The rotor design helps prevent the mulcher from slowing or bogging down during material engagement, and it leaves behind a bed of consistent mulch.
Well-Designed Processing Chamber
The mulcher's cutting chamber and rear discharge are designed to reduce material buildup around the drum and increase material flow while minimizing power consumption. Together, they maximize material processing and operator productivity while sweeping along the ground.
2-Speed Axial Piston Hydraulic Motor
The 2-speed axial piston hydraulic motor delivers optimized rotor speed and torque for quick recovery. It also operates more efficiently than a gear motor. It’s equipped with a hydraulic accumulator that absorbs pressure spikes, protecting the motor and ensuring optimal service life.
Downward Front Discharge
The downward front discharge directs the processed material toward the ground and mitigates thrown debris.
Efficient Reversible Knife Teeth
The knife teeth are designed with sharp edges and a tapered body to efficiently process material while maintaining higher rotor rpms. These bolt-on tools are reversible and replaceable for long service life and easy maintenance.
Top Tasks
Clear trees and brush for:
- Utility line and right-of-way maintenance
- Site preparation
How It Works
- The excavator must have a fully enclosed cab and a case drain kit installed to operate this attachment.
- Teeth on a horizontal rotating drum rip through standing trees and thick brush, turning the material into a bed of mulch.
Required Components
- Case Drain Kit
Options & Accessories
MX Poly Window Kit
The polycarbonate window kit is recommended for use with the new drum mulcher attachments. The polycarbonate window guard mounts to the front of the cab structure to restrict debris from contacting the cab’s front glass window. The poly window kit allows the front window to be rolled up or closed during operation. Once installed, the window kit can be easily removed and reinstalled using four mounting pins.
The poly window kit is compatible with the following excavator models:
