3 Essential Attachments for Fencing Contractors

Fencing contractors wear many hats — from permitting and design to installation and maintenance. But before work can be done, they must ensure the property they’re operating on is adequately prepared. In most cases, land clearing is done before installing new fencing or maintaining fence lines by removing vegetation such as trees, stumps, brush, and weeds to make work more efficient.

For land clearing and maintenance, powerful, versatile, and easy-to-operate equipment is essential. Skid-steer attachments that are user-friendly and can cut, shred, and mulch help to boost productivity and reduce time on the job site. Following are three outstanding tools recommended by Diamond Mowers for any fencing contractor’s fleet:

BRUSH CUTTER

Engineered for quick and effective cutting and clearing, a brush cutter – or rotary mower – is a “one-size-fits-all” tool. It is designed to tackle the core vegetation management challenges any contractor might encounter – from cutting tall or thick grass to clearing large-scale brush and small trees or maintaining fence lines after installation.

Diamond Mowers recently introduced a new brush cutter that provides solutions for many challenges faced by fencing contractors. Modeled after the brand’s industry-leading Brush Cutter Pro X (formerly the DLR Rotary Mower), the new Brush Cutter Pro delivers the same versatility

and durability for which Diamond is well-known. The Brush Cutter Pro is specifically tailored for a broader range of skid-steers and less rigorous applications. Compatible with standard and high-flow carriers, it can cut material up to 5” in diameter.

The new Brush Cutter Pro features a lower push bar, which reaches under many existing fences making it a fantastic maintenance tool. As a contractor you can offer a recurring maintenance contract to keep the fence in great condition and ensure repeat business.

DISC MULCHER

Another essential land clearing tool for fencing contractors is a disc mulcher. Its speed and productivity are particularly well-suited for clearing large expanses of land that may need to be enclosed by fencing. Diamond’s high-performance SK Disc Mulcher Pro X can continuously process trees and heavy brush up to 6” in diameter and produce mulch that promotes the growth of native vegetation while naturally preventing invasive species that can seize control of fence lines. This increases ground coverage right up to a fence line and allows you to break everything down before starting on a new fencing project. For jobs involving large mulch and brush management applications, rough terrain, or heavy ground engagement, a drum mulcher is the best option for optimal processing and productivity. Available in depth control and open drum designs, these attachments are ideal for tackling agricultural property, land clearing for real estate development, and roadside maintenance. Engineered to effectively process material up to 9” in diameter continuously, these attachments shred through grass, brush, and small trees with durable teeth that can withstand rocks and other debris. They can be configured with multiple types of mulching teeth, allowing users to interchange for different applications based on terrain and desired material output.

Diamond drum mulchers have a discharge geometry that is specifically designed to send material down toward the ground, limiting the amount of thrown material. This makes them an optimal attachment choice when preparing fence lines along busy roads or near buildings.

Whether clearing land for new fencing or maintaining overgrowth along fence lines, these three skid-steer attachments offer all the power and performance needed to get the job done.
