Optimizing Productivity and Asset Utilization with Versatile Attachments

In the contracting business, time is money. The key to success is being able to move from one job to another quickly, seamlessly, and with minimal downtime. With this in mind, Diamond Mowers offers high-performance attachments ideally suited for keeping fencing contractors productive and profitable.

“At Diamond, we are committed to providing the best tools for every task,” says Dan Stachel, executive vice president of Diamond Mowers. “These game-changing, multipurpose products promise to optimize productivity, diversify work opportunities, and even create new revenue streams.”

Founded in 2000 and based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Diamond Mowers is a leading manufacturer of industrial mowing, mulching and brush cutting equipment for the municipal, skid-steer, and excavator markets.

Stachel provides an overview of the company’s attachments ideally suited for the fence industry:

BRUSH CUTTER

A brush cutter is a “one-size-fits-all” tool designed to tackle everything from cutting tall or thick grass to processing large-scale brush and small trees. When it comes to clearing property for new fencing or maintaining fence lines after installation, this attachment is a must-have for any land contractor.

Diamond Mowers offers two skid-steer brush cutters – the Brush Cutter Pro X and the Brush Cutter Pro. Both are available with four hydraulic motor options, giving them a competitive advantage by ensuring optimal cutting performance and safe operating speeds at all flow levels.

Offering impressive power and versatility, the Pro X features a Tri-Hex mulching disc with three hardened steel blades that slice through material up to 10” in diameter. Compatible with standard and high-flow skid steers and compact track loaders, this commercial-grade attachment comes in cutting widths of 60 inches, 72 inches, or 84 inches.

The newer Brush Cutter Pro model delivers the same premium durability and multifaceted cutting performance as the Pro X but with specific tailoring for a broader range of applications and carriers. The exclusive oval blade carrier boasts two hardened steel blades that maintain a 72-inch cutting width and effectively slice through grass, brush, branches, and small trees up to 5 inches wide. Ideally suited for fencing contractors, this easy-tomaneuver attachment features a lower push bar that can reach under fences, making it an essential maintenance tool.

“Not every project calls for taking down 10-inch wide trees,” explains Stachel. “This new cutting attachment packs all the power and performance of our commercial-grade Brush Cutter Pro X, but features strategic engineering modifications for medium-duty applications, resulting in a product that is lighter weight and available at a lower cost point.”

EXCAVATOR DRUM MULCHER

For contractors operating midi excavators, Diamond Mowers recently introduced the new EX Drum Mulcher DC Pro X. Built for tackling mulching or brush clearing with power and precision, this efficient solution effectively cuts back and processes unwanted vegetation, making it effective for clearing fence lines and vegetation management, as well as utility and roadside maintenance.

Offered in two widths (30-inche and 50-inch) to accommodate excavator carriers from 4.5 to 10MT (metric tons), the EX Drum Mulcher comes equipped with a 63cc variable displacement hydraulic motor – larger than the industry standard – that provides impressive torque to power through material up to 8 inches indiameter quicker than competitive attachments. 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 pounds 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.

“Featuring a larger hydraulic motor, better motor protection, and an optimized cut width relative to weight, this new attachment delivers more productivity per pass,” adds Stachel.

Further differentiating the EX Drum Mulcher in the marketplace is its optimized infeed system. 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. Additionally, a bolt-on door on the attachment’s backside holds chips and controls thrown debris, making it a great choice for working near roads and in densely populated areas. The door can be easily removed for maximum production when the situation warrants.

Engineered for more than 2,000 hours of annual use, the EX Drum Mulcher DC Pro X comes standard with Twin Chisel® Planer Teeth but is compatible with any of three tooth options for different applications. Like all Diamond Mowers drum attachments, this new head is backed by an industry-leading two-year warranty.
