The Baumalight MS960 is a powerful, contractor-grade fixed tooth mulcher built for medium to large skid steers that demand high productivity, smooth operation, and consistent cutting performance. Designed around a 60-inch rotor with a wide 75-inch cutting path, the MS960 has become one of Baumalight’s most popular skid steer mulchers thanks to its balance of power, durability, operator comfort, and ease of use in a wide range of vegetation management tasks.
The MS960 is compatible with Baumalight’s 900-series teeth, available in two cutting styles to match different field conditions. The double carbide Ripper tooth provides aggressive shredding capability and performs exceptionally well in environments with frequent ground contact, rocks, or dense woody debris. For operators working in cleaner, less abrasive material, the single-blade Planer tooth offers smoother cutting and higher mulching efficiency. This flexibility allows the MS960 to adapt seamlessly to fence-line clearing, brush reduction, trail maintenance, and large-acreage mulching.
Equipped with a large, easy-to-read pressure gauge, the MS960 gives operators direct feedback on hydraulic load, helping them stay within optimal pressure ranges for maximum productivity. The mulcher is also available with a two-speed motor option, allowing operators to switch between high rotor speed or increased torque depending on vegetation density. The standard bent-axis piston motor provides efficient hydraulic power delivery, ensuring smooth rotor engagement and reliable performance during long cutting sessions.
To enhance durability and safety, the MS960 includes a 3/8-inch rear chain curtain to contain debris and prevent material from ejecting behind the unit. A wire protection kit guards the rotor and shaft from damage if fencing, cable, or stray material enters the drum—an essential safeguard when clearing around properties, farms, or wooded areas. The MS960’s powder-coated finish offers superior protection compared to standard paints, resisting abrasion and corrosion even in demanding environments.
With its short-mounted rotor position, the MS960 keeps weight close to the skid steer for improved balance, lifting leverage, and operator comfort. This design reduces fatigue and makes the attachment easier to control during precision work or extended clearing operations. Whether you’re maintaining right-of-way corridors, reducing overgrowth, or tackling commercial land-clearing projects, the MS960 provides the cutting power, reliability, and efficiency expected from a professional-grade forestry mulcher.
