Ideal for large mulch and brush management applications.
Diamond Mowers’ SK Disc Mulcher Pro X is the best solution for mulching smaller-diameter trees and brush. The design of the disc acts like a flywheel to store energy. This stored energy combines with hydraulic power to enable you to mulch any trees or brush in your path. The shape of the disc and position of the teeth allow you to safely and effectively cut down and mulch material.
Although this attachment is precise and ideal for land clearing applications, we do not recommend it for urban use. Due to the power of this machine, material can travel a great distance, making it less suited for use in populated areas and near buildings.
The Diamond Disc Mulcher comes equipped with FOUR-POINT HARDENED STEEL TEETH that act like an axe to slice material.
Additionally:
- There are fixed teeth located on the inside of the deck shell, which mulches material as the disc carries it through
- The FOUR-POINT HARDENED STEEL TEETH can be easily sharpened to increase efficiency
- Patented planer knives in the center of the disc eliminate any dead zone
GEAR MOTOR OVERVIEW
Our gear motors are American-made, cast steel gear motors – the highest quality of the type we can source.
Gear motors offer good efficiency, are capable of handling lots of contamination, and are cost effective to purchase and maintain.
These were the motors initially offered on our forestry disc mulcher products, and are still a great option for many applications today. These motors feature a relief valve to protect from over-pressure situations.
PISTON MOTOR OVERVIEW
Our piston motors are a bent-axis, fixed displacement motor sourced from Europe.
These motors are tremendously efficient, and capable of handling very high pressures – well over what modern skid-steers and Compact Track Loader’s (CTL) are producing.
Because of their high efficiency, we are able to use slightly smaller displacements and achieve the same torque relative to our gear motors. This smaller displacement and higher efficiency result in approximately 20% faster disc speeds than the gear motors at the same flow. This 20% increase in disc speed results in over 40% more stored energy in the disc, a tremendous advantage when the going gets tough.
The piston motors offer all the aforementioned advantages while allowing the loader’s hydraulic system to operate cooler. The biggest disadvantage of these motors is their higher price tag.
