Recommendation for a mulcher

josephny · Dec 17, 2016

I'm looking for recommendations for a mulcher to attach to my M9960 (100hp Kubota).

I know they can be very expensive, but I'm hoping for something in the $10,000 range.

Clearing upstate NY forest, so it's brush, stumps, trees (everygreens and small hardwoods). Oh, and lots of rocks, unfortunately.

Thank you!

Well, I discovered that Loftness stopped making a PTO version.

Baumalight and Fecon make them. I only have a 540rpm PTO and the Baumalight model for a 100hp machine requires a 1000rmp PTO.

Any idea how much (and where a good place to buy from would be) for a Fecon BH85 PTO?

I do have a PC160 excavator and was thinking about the advantages of getting a mulching head for that instead (access to much tougher woods, higher trees, etc.). Anyone have a recommendation one way or the other?

Thanks!
