RDM Series Excavator Forestry Disc Mulchers
The RDM Series is a hard-working heavy equipment solution built for serious land clearing. When the job calls for cutting wide-diameter trees, heavy brush, and stubborn material, this forestry disc mulcher is built to handle it.
RDM ECO Series Excavator Forestry Mulchers
Built for smaller carriers, the RDM ECO Series brings real industrial performance to mini-excavators and lower-flow hydraulics. These forestry mulchers offer cutting power for operators who need capability without upgrading their entire setup.
SS Series Skid Steer Disc Mulchers
Each skid steer disc mulcher of the SS Series delivers true forestry mulcher capability. This isn’t a light-duty attachment. It’s a forestry disc mulcher designed for serious land clearing work. We offer options for both high-flow and standard-flow skid steers, so you can match the right attachment to your hydraulic setup and get the most out of your equipment.
Buckets & Brush Rakes For Excavators
Clearing land takes more than just a mulcher. You need the right attachments to move, sort, and finish the job. View our buckets and brush rakes designed to work alongside your AFE forestry mulcher.
Used Mulching Equipment
Efficiency and reliability are essential in forestry and land management. Our used mulching equipment service is designed to meet these critical needs while maintaining quality.
Heavy Equipment Armor
When you’re running a disc mulcher, things get rough fast. Flying wood, sharp debris, and constant impact can take a toll on your machine and your operator. Our Heavy Equipment Armor products are designed to help reduce damage, prevent downtime, and keep your crew working safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine which RDM or SS mulcher is compatible with my machine?
Compatibility is based primarily on your machine’s weight and hydraulic flow (GPM) and pressure (PSI). Every one of our forestry disc mulchers & heavy equipment attachments has a list of requirements. However, we recommend speaking with our technicians to ensure your skid steer or excavator has the proper auxiliary hydraulics for peak land-clearing performance.
What are the primary advantages of a disc mulcher over a traditional drum mulcher?
A forestry disc mulcher runs a high-mass disc that builds and holds kinetic energy. That means when you’re cutting trees, brush, or heavy material, it doesn’t slow down. It powers through faster than drum mulchers. They generally require less maintenance and offer better visibility and versatility in varying terrain.
Can I use the RDM ECO series on a standard mini-excavator?
Yes. The RDM ECO series forestry disc mulchers were built for operators running smaller machines. If you’ve got a mini-excavator with lower hydraulic flow, this setup gives you a real mulching attachment without stepping up to a larger carrier.
How often do the teeth on a forestry disc mulcher need to be replaced?
Tooth longevity depends on the material being mulched and the presence of rocks. If you’re running clean wood and trees, your mulcher teeth will last longer. Start working in rocky ground or mixed material, and you’ll see wear a lot faster. Our forestry disc mulchers are built with durable, field-tested teeth that hold up under real land-clearing conditions. But like any cutting component, they take abuse. We recommend a daily inspection, as most teeth can be rotated or sharpened to extend their service life.
Does AFE provide custom armor solutions for different equipment brands?
We offer protective solutions for major brands like CAT, John Deere, and Komatsu, designed to withstand real land-clearing and forestry mulching work. This isn’t off-the-shelf protection. It’s built to take hits from brush, wood, and flying material when your mulcher attachment is working. If your machine isn’t listed, that’s not a problem. We can build custom armor to fit your exact setup, whether it’s a skid steer, an excavator, or another heavy equipment attachment.
