DESCRIPTION
Experience the ultimate in high-speed land clearing efficiency with the FA FADM Series Disc Mulcher a professional-grade skid steer attachment engineered to transform overgrown land into cleared, ready-to-use terrain faster than any conventional brush cutter or forestry mulcher. Designed for contractors, land developers, and forestry professionals who demand maximum productivity and pristine clearing results, this advanced disc mulcher processes trees, brush, and woody vegetation up to 14 inches in diameter while leaving behind only fine mulch debris that enhances soil quality and eliminates costly cleanup operations.
The FADM Series represents a quantum leap in land clearing technology, utilizing a revolutionary high-speed disc cutting system equipped with dozens of four-point hardened steel teeth that pulverize material into uniform, fine mulch in a single pass. Unlike traditional drum-style mulchers or blade-based brush cutters, the disc mulcher configuration delivers unmatched cutting efficiency, superior mulch quality, and dramatically faster clearing speeds that can reduce project completion times by 30-50% compared to conventional equipment.
Available in two powerful professional configurations the FADM 4800 (48-inch) and FADM 6000 (60-inch) this disc mulcher series offers the perfect solution for every land clearing application. The FADM 4800 features 26 four-point hardened steel teeth and weighs 2,100 pounds, providing exceptional maneuverability for selective clearing and tight-access projects with flexible hydraulic flow options of 17-27, 28-38, or 39-45 GPM. The FADM 6000 escalates productivity with 39 four-point hardened steel teeth, weighs 2,700 pounds, and operates at 30-45 GPM flow rates, making it the ultimate choice for large-scale land clearing operations where maximum throughput is essential.
What makes the FADM Series one of the most efficient land clearing tools available is its ability to process material into exceptionally fine mulch that naturally decomposes, enriches the soil, and eliminates the need for post-clearing debris removal or burning. The heavy-duty 3/8-inch steel deck construction 50% thicker than standard brush cutters provides unparalleled protection against impact damage and ensures decades of reliable service in the harshest professional clearing environments.
This disc mulcher is purpose-built for commercial land clearing contractors, site development companies, right-of-way maintenance crews, utility contractors, forestry management professionals, municipal land management departments, pipeline corridor clearing operations, and agricultural land reclamation specialists who need to clear land quickly, efficiently, and completely. Whether you're preparing building sites, clearing shooting ranges, maintaining power line corridors, removing invasive vegetation, creating firebreaks, or reclaiming overgrown farmland, the FADM Series delivers the speed, quality, and reliability that professional operations demand.
The innovative four-point tooth design ensures consistent cutting performance from every angle, self-sharpening action that extends tooth life, and the ability to process even the toughest hardwood species without stalling or bogging down. Combined with precision-balanced disc rotation and optimized tooth spacing, this mulcher maintains aggressive cutting power while producing uniform, fine mulch that distributes evenly across the cleared area.
Transform your land clearing operation from time-consuming and labor-intensive to fast, efficient, and profitable with the FA FADM Series Disc Mulcher the professional's choice for delivering pristine clearing results, eliminating debris management headaches, and completing projects in record time. This is land clearing reimagined for the modern contractor who refuses to settle for outdated technology.
