Is it possible?

I hear you on needing higher flow on a FEL. You would need a cab with thick glass to run a mulcher and the radiator might be vulnerable on a tractor. I have seen PTO driven mulchers.


So you have seen one set up like I'm talking about? Any idea who made it? Someone oughta sell a kit with a small head, a high flow pump, and all the hoses and connections you would need to do it.

I considered trading my dozer for a skid steer with a mulcher, and even talked to a couple of dealers. All my dozer work was done and I could have really used the skid steer back then. The problem was that there were no used ones around and it would cost way too much to trade for a new one. Used dozers are for sale everywhere, but back then the only way to buy it new.

I really wouldn't have that much use for one now. More than a decade of burning has cleaned the place up pretty well.


I saw it behind a state tractor on the interstate a few years back. Looked kinda like a tiller but it was a mulcher. I haven't seen one since. www.fecon.com Look at the bull hog.


Thanks, I will look that up.

For anyone interested, here is the company RobertD mentioned:

It doesn't look all that dangerous to me, and they have a video of a guy running one with no protection at all on a really dinky little tractor. And it doesn't require a high flow pump and it costs only $3195. I'm sure Mr. Trump would be glad to help me buy it, but that looks like more of a cutter than a mulcher. It's not quite what I dreamed about, but I'm sure it would be a useful piece of equipment.


I am friends with one of the owners/developers of the LaneShark. That is an awesome piece of equipment for what it is, even though it's not a mulcher.

I haven't seen a piece of equipment that will clear roadways and shooting lanes as good as this (mounted to a tractor).
