Bandit introduces a mulcher attachment for skid-steer loaders

The 60FM is a dedicated mulcher for forestry applications.

The Model 60FM is a powerful attachment that combines the utility of a skid-steer loader with the wood processing expertise of Bandit. Customers have been requesting a smaller attachment version to run on skid-steers. It features a 60 in (152 cm) mulcher head powered by a single 110 cc hydraulic motor. It is designed for the forestry applications of dealing with brush and small trees.

The 60FM quickly attaches by using a quick attach plate to the front of any skid-steer loader in just a few quick steps. And because it operates straight from the skid-steer’s hydraulic systems, it requires very little maintenance. The design is based upon Bandit’s larger forestry mowers. It can aggressively process material into mulch that can be reintroduced directly into the soil. The mulching head has considerable reinforcement to ensure it can withstand the daily rigors of mulching and land clearing. Special wear-resistant, high-yield material on the mower feet and the drum backer is designed to extend the life of the unit.

The 60FM features 34 teeth arranged in a spiral pattern along the full length of the mulcher head. Each tooth creates a more aggressive mulching action, limiting the size of the bite. A unique raker design forces material to the carbide tip of the tooth, improving tooth life, grinding performance and preventing the forestry mulcher from stalling. Source: www.banditchippers.com
