MS548 Fixed Tooth Mulcher for Skid Steer

Our 500 series fixed tooth brush mulchers for skidsteers are designed to maintain and clear fence lines on farms and entry level contractor work. The 500 series Baumalight brush mulchers will efficiently mulch heavy brush and small trees and are offered with two different types of teeth. The Planer style teeth take small bites and provide the most efficient mulching and cutting. The Ripper style teeth have more of a shredding mulching action. Their v-shaped design makes them less susceptible to impacts with hard objects like stones, making them the better choice when mulching below grade and in fence lines. The 500 & 700 series skidsteer mulchers come with pressure gauges which is very handy to watch and see how close you are to maximum pressure; once you start blowing over relief the mulcher becomes very unproductive.
See our brush cutting size chart to see what limb size this excavator mounted forestry mulcher can handle.

ADJUSTABLE SKID SHOES

These two position skid shoes allow you to adjust the cutting height for optimal clearing performance.

INTEGRATED PUSH BAR

The integrated brush bar helps control the brush and bend taller brush for easier mulching.

ARMOURED & SLEEVED

ARMOURED AND SLEEVED

Baumalight hoses are sleeved for the operator and hose protection. A pivoting arm is also standard with a greaseable pin keeping the slack out of the way which protects the hoses from dangerous pinching and strain.

V-NOTCH

The force and impact of mulching often bends the teeth. Our V-Notch teeth and hardened holders hold the tooth firmly in place to absorb impacts from multiple directions.

HARDENED TOOTH HOLDERS

These heavy-duty tooth holders resist bending and keep you working longer.

6 FREE TEETH

All MS548 Brush Mulchers come with a free set of 6 replacement teeth. These replacement teeth are conveniently shipped in a robust enclosed compartment on top of the frame.

OPTION TO CHANGE OUT FOR 500 SERIES RIPPER TEETH

The 500 Series teeth come in two carbide tipped styles; Planer and Ripper. The Planer style teeth take small bites and provide the most efficient mulching and cutting. The Ripper style teeth have more of a shredding mulching action. Their v-shaped design makes them less susceptible to impacts with hard objects like stones, making them the better choice when mulching below grade and in fence lines. Both styles are Bolt-on replaceable for quick and easy servicing and replacement even in the field. 500 series teeth are V-Notched to work with the carbon hardened tooth holders.

SPIRAL TOOTH PATTERN

For smoother mulching, the spiral tool pattern allows one tooth to engage at a time.

OVERTORQUE PROTECTION - RELIEF VALVE

OVERTORQUE PROTECTION – RELIEF VALVE

The relief valve protects the motor and the hydraulic system from pressure spikes. When an obstacle is hit the relief valves open and relieves the pressure.

PRESSURE GAUGE

Large PSI pressure gauge for maintaining the optimal flow that gives you a clear indication of the most efficient brush mulching performance.

REINFORCED BELT

A heavy duty reinforced belt delivers the force from the gear box to the rotor. This offers protection from the shocks inherent in mulching.

WIRE PROTECTION

Protective steel cover that prevents damage from wire fencing.

CHAIN CURTAIN

The rear of the unit is guarded by a chain curtain so standing brush enters and mulched debris exits.

HD FRAME

HEAVY DUTY FRAME

Heavy duty frame with T1 alloy tool steel sheet metal for all the main areas. Powder coated frame with multiple anti-slip pads to give you secure footing for ease of entry and exit from your cab.

POWDER COATED

Our powder coat finish is much tougher than conventional paint to stand up to the rigors of mulching and helps prevent rusting.

ANTI SLIP STRIPS

For ease of entry and exit from the cab an anti-slip strip gives sure footing.

BEARING SUPPORT

OVERHUNG LOAD ADAPTER (BEARING SUPPORT)

Baumalight mulchers use an overhung load adapter which is designed with tapered roller bearings to stand up to the rigors of heavy mulching.

NOTICE: Max GPM value must NEVER be exceeded on roller-vane motors or failure will occur, Piston motors run much faster before failure will occur
NOTICE: Above GPM values are under load flow estimates

What Is A Case Drain Line ?

On most skidsteer and excavator Hydraulic systems, Hydraulic motors and pumps require a case drain line. Sometimes referred to as a third line, the case drain line will relieve any excess pressure and drain it back to your return line, then into the reservoir. Without a properly installed case drain, that extra pressure could blow a seal or damage your hydraulic line. For higher flow motors or on piston and gear motors, a case drain line is always required. Although, no matter the size of your motor, a case drain is always a good idea as it will relieve the amount of pressure on your shaft seal, helping to prolong its life. A case drain line can also increase the efficiency of your hydraulic system as it will lower the back pressure on the tank line.

Since most machines have a unique style of coupler, BaumaLight does not include a coupler on our case drain line, although they are available. If your skidsteer is not equipped with a case drain, then it can be field installed.

How Important Is A Case Drain Line ?

If we say having a case drain is critical and you operate without one, you will blow out your shaft seal. Be sure to check the motor sizing charts on our website.

Exception If You Have A Hammer Valve

There is one exception in the need for a case drain on gear motors and that is if you excavator is equipped with a hammer valve, this is a larger free flow line back to tank.

Identifying Your Case Drain Line

The following galleries show a highlighted case drain line on multiple skidsteer and excavator models.
