This new boom head offers the same performance and benefits as the excavator drum mulcher, including a largerthan-industry-standard hydraulic motor, optimized infeed system and removeable bolt-on door for controlling and containing debris. The forward drum exposure allows for optimum tree engagement and feeds materials from left to right as it sweeps the ground for greater productivity per pass. Material is thoroughly processed in the chamber, producing an aesthetically desirable chip size without the need for reprocessing. Offered in two widths (30 and 50 in.) to accommodate excavator carriers from 4.5 to 10 metric tons, the excavator drum mulcher comes equipped with a Rexroth 63cc adjustable displacement hydraulic motor.
Diamond Mowers, a manufacturer of industrial mowing, mulching, and brush cutting equipment for the municipal, skid-steer, and excavator markets, has introduced a pair of new mulching heads specifically for use with midi excavators and tractors, respectively.
The excavator drum mulcher DC Pro X and boom drum mulcher are the next innovations to be rolled out in Diamond Mowers’ expanding portfolio of mulching attachments, further reinforcing the brand’s commitment to innovation and to being a full-service solutions supplier for vegetation management professionals.
“These additions bring new and improved performance features to the forefront of vegetation management,” said Dan Stachel, executive vice president of Diamond Mowers. “Engineered for heavy-duty mulching applications, these game-changing products promise to optimize productivity, diversify work opportunities and create new revenue streams.”
In conjunction with the introduction of these new attachments, Diamond Mowers has extended its warranty to two years across all of its drum products — doubling down on its confidence in the power and performance of its offerings and further reinforcing the company’s commitment to being a leading provider in the mulching category.
Additionally, customers have access to Diamond’s customer service resources, including an experienced team of customer care experts, a dedicated parts team readily available to address any needs that may arise, and a 72-hour parts shipping guarantee on most common components.
“We have so much confidence in our drum offerings that we wanted to share that confidence to our customers as well,” said Stachel. “This extended warranty not only applies to our newest attachments but to our entire drum portfolio, including those currently in the field furthering our commitment to being the best partner in this industry.”
Excavator Drum Mulcher DC Pro X Delivers More Productivity Per Pass
The new excavator drum mulcher increases the versatility of any midi-excavator while delivering more productivity per pass, according to the manufacturer.
Ideal for tackling mulching or brush clearing with power and precision, this efficient solution effectively cuts back and processes unwanted vegetation, making it ideal for land clearing, vegetation management, and utility and roadside maintenance.
Offered in two widths (30 and 50 in.) to accommodate excavator carriers from 4.5 to 10 metric tons, the excavator drum mulcher comes equipped with a Rexroth 63cc adjustable displacement hydraulic motor — larger than the industry standard — that provides impressive torque to power through material up to 8 in. in diameter.
The motor is protected by a rugged chassis designed to help withstand crutching loads up to 10 metric tons. Severe-duty bearings — rated to 77,000 lbs. and protected by a labyrinth design and triple steel ring seals — offer additional strength, while an abrasion-resistant AR 400 liner minimizes wear from debris.
Oversized, serrated skid shoes hang off the sides of the attachment head to control, position and manipulate downed material for more effective material processing.
Boom Drum Mulcher
Featuring an unobtrusive design that optimizes visibility, Diamond Mowers’ new boom drum mulcher is a must-have addition for any municipal fleet faced with cutting, processing, and eliminating woody materials from areas that are unreachable with a skidsteer or excavator, the manufacturer said.
“Historically, a rotary head has been the go-to for maintaining fence lines, bridges and overpasses, but the open design of those attachments typically leaves branches strewn on the ground, creating a two-step process requiring two different tool heads,” Stachel said.
More to Come
Diamond Mowers will continue to roll out new drum mulching attachments throughout the year. In addition to the new excavator and boom drum heads, as well as the recently introduced drum mulcher OD Pro X, customers can anticipate enhancements to the company’s depth control drum, along with a low-flow skid drum.

Werk-Brau’s New Grubber Slices Roots, Extracts Brush in One Easy Motion
Werk-Brau has introduced the Grubber, which slices roots and extracts brush in one easy motion.
Available with a replaceable bolt-on edge V-edge or straight edge, they are ideal for the select extraction of brush and nuisance vegetation, as they minimize ground disturbance, reduce erosion and promote grass growth.
When paired with an appropriately sized excavator, the Grubber can effectively eradicate infestations of mesquite and salt cedar, removing the root ball to reduce the chance of future propagation. Eliminating nuisance vegetation can restore degraded rangeland, improve cattle and wildlife habitat, increase plant diversity and improve the hydrologic function of the land to make it more productive, according to the company.
Constructed with an extra heavy-duty upper channel, AR400 steel cutting edges, and triple pass welds on the high stress areas, Grubber models are available to fit most excavator sizes and classes, including minis.
