Brush cutter mulcher

[SMH1]

Anyone put a brush cutter on FEL one like a Rut or Diamond with mulching teeth. If so what hydraulic pump did you use. I know it takes a reservoir and stuff but I’m having a hard time finding a pump that puts up 20GPM or so at 3000psi. There are plenty with flow just not the pressure.
please post pics of your set up.
thanks

They aren't doing 3000psi at 20gpm. That's ridiculous.

Those are some fake numbers. Who is making you believe that is the standard for driving a bush hog?

These guys lists 3 models of their power packs: http://www.erskineattachments.com/p...e Hydraulic Power Unit Printable Brochure.pdf

-16GPM @3000 PSI
-20GPM @3000 PSI
-26GPM @3000 PSI

He didn't say Bush Hog. He said brush cutter. Probably not unlike the one Andrew uses HERE on one of his skid steers. He's chopping-up 2-3" trees with ease. You can get that kind of flow/pressure on a skid steer. A tractor with a FEL is going to need a separate pump. The PTO versions should work. But be prepared for a pricey investment.

I mistook that part. But my medium duty bush hog takes out 2" trees with ease as well.


Yes I agree, that will be a pricey investment if that is what you are doing.

Cheaper to rent a Tracked SS with one already on it? How much do you have to do? Tractors arent made for this. You should also have proper grade glass on your cab, or steel grate to protect the operator from flying debris. I had a mulcher do 30 acres of beetle kill on our place...200HP machine and threw it a hundred or so feet. He was basically in a steel tracked bulldozer machine with a total metal enclosure. Also trees can come back onto the cab area using these...

Bad idea.

A good medium or heavy-duty bush hog can do that

Yes I am wanting a brush cutter with mulching teeth on it. Made for skid steer. I want to run it on front end loader. I know all about needing reservoir and cooler I just can’t find the right pump. I have had no luck with my searches. Anyone else doing this can fill me in on the pump used.

Skid steer cutters require 20gpm at 3000psi.

Some of the ones premade do it or at least they are advertising they do so there is a pump out there I just can’t find where to get it. I called surplus supply and all there stuff is 2250psi. I’m not sure that will run it. I talked to the Mfg of cutter and he says I need more pressure closer to 3000 like a skid steer.
