SS Extreme Forestry Disc Mulcher
SS Extreme Forestry Disc Mulcher Overview
High-flow skid steers call for forestry mulcher attachments that match their performance. The SS Extreme Forestry Disc Mulcher is a heavy-duty mulcher attachment for demanding land-clearing jobs that call for durability and efficiency.
The performance of AFE’s disc mulcher line is not just about spinning a heavier disc. It is about putting hydraulic power where it belongs. Our field-proven design sends full hydraulic power directly to the forestry disc, giving operators the strong, consistent cutting performance they need for serious land clearing from the first pass to the last.
Key Benefits of the SS Extreme Skid Steer Forestry Disc Mulcher
- Efficient Cutting Power: The SS Extreme Forestry Disc Mulcher uses a direct-drive system that sends 100% of your high-performance skid steer hydraulic power straight to the bearing box and the mulching disc.
- Custom Bearing Box: Our factory-tested, oil-bathed bearing box features rusher-style self-aligning bearings designed to withstand extreme vibration and radial shock loads.
- Built for Field Work: Every SS Extreme forestry disc mulcher is handcrafted, factory-tested, and assembled with premium components for daily, heavy-duty work.
- Better Operator Visibility: The disc mulcher provides a clear line of sight for better operator control and to avoid unwanted material.

- 1,000 Hours Between Bearing Box Oil Changes: Allows up to 1,000 hours of operation before the next oil change.
- 4-Inch Heat-Treated Tapered Shaft: Designed for efficient power transfer and long service life, this component helps your forestry disc mulcher handle heavy loads without premature wear.
What Is Not Included with My SS Extreme Forestry Disc Mulcher?
The SS Extreme Forestry Disc Mulcher does not include a case drain line or hoses. These may be required depending on your skid steer setup. If you have questions about compatibility or recommended attachments, contact us to help make sure your machine is ready before you go to work.
Are There Any Safety Precautions for the SS Extreme Forestry Disc Mulcher?
Yes. Running a forestry mulcher of this size and power requires proper setup and field attention.
- Don’t operate on an open-cab machine. Proper operator protection is required when using a skid steer disc mulcher in heavy clearing conditions.
