Disc Hawk Forestry Attachment

The DH60 is a skid steer disc mulcher aimed at rural work: right of way clearing and maintenance, pasture reclamation, fire fuel reduction and similar jobs. It is a versatile and cost effective option when you need to clear land and finish large projects in a short amount of time.

It fells trees up to 14 inches and processes brush, overgrowth and trees up to 6 inches. The compact driveline design also improves operator visibility to the cutting area, which matters when you are working close to fences, poles or standing timber.

Overall width is 77 inches, working width is 60 inches, length is 68 inches and height is 34 inches. It weighs 2,700 lbs. Tooling is 8 top, 12 edge and 24 bottom.

Yes, and that is one of its strengths. The brush intake chute uses a larger throat to gather material for high production, while the hardwood chute guides felled material into the disc for improved processing. The broadcasting discharge chute maximizes dispersion, and the processing chute discharges downward to mitigate thrown debris and improve material sizing.

Standard teeth give maximum efficiency in normal conditions. Switch to carbide teeth for applications where ground engagement is required and the disc will contact soil, rock or grit. Two push bar locations also let you dial in more or less disc engagement for the job.

Four. Top down feeding uses the bottom left of the disc on standing trees and brush piles. Bottom up feeding cuts through the stem and discharges material out the left side. Back dragging tilts the disc forward to engage material on the ground for cleanup. Felling uses the left side of the disc on larger trees, guided by the push bar.

Yes. Alongside the standard Fecon red, the DH60 is also offered in Fecon Yellow. Both versions carry the Fecon standard warranty of 12 months or 1,000 hours.

The Disc Hawk DH60 is a high flow disc mulcher built for skid steers and compact track loaders with 30 to 50 GPM of auxiliary hydraulic flow and 75 to 132 horsepower. Check your carrier’s operator’s manual for its maximum operating pressure. Most standard flow skid steers deliver well under 30 GPM, which is not enough for the Disc Hawk; if you run a standard flow machine, look at the Bull Hog Standard Flow mulching head, which runs on 17 to 34 GPM and mulches trees up to 5 inches. Matching the attachment to your carrier’s flow matters more than engine horsepower, because the disc needs steady oil flow to hold its speed in heavy material. Your Fecon dealer can confirm the fit for your exact make and model.

Yes. The Disc Hawk is designed for both high flow skid steers and high flow compact track loaders (CTLs), which are common carriers for disc mulching on soft or uneven ground. Because a disc mulcher throws material, make sure the cab has proper operator protection. Fecon makes a CTL polycarbonate windshield for this.

Choose a disc mulcher like the Disc Hawk when felling speed on open, rural ground is the priority. It fells trees up to 14 inches fast and spreads material over a wide area, but it also throws chips and debris farther than a drum mulcher, so keep people, vehicles and buildings outside the safety zone listed in the operator’s manual. The processing discharge chute sends material downward to reduce thrown debris. Choose a drum mulcher like the Bull Hog instead when you need a finer, more even finish or you are working close to homes, roads, traffic or people. Some buyers spell it disk mulcher; it is the same type of attachment. Fecon’s guide on how to choose the right forestry mulcher compares every option.
