Read articles →A hands-on field demo of the Buhler MP3 48 brush mulcher on a John Deere 2038R, notable for running the attachment hard beyond its rated 2-inch spec and reporting real results on material up to six inches. Tim covers PTO RPM, operating technique (backward first pass, skid height), weight concerns, slip clutch behavior, and compares it candidly to cheaper alternatives. Best for compact tractor owners seriously researching brush mulchers.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors and family projects, with the reviewed attachment provided by the manufacturer, expect genuine enthusiasm alongside a likely favorable lean toward the supplied equipment.
Yes, the spec says 2 inches stop and chew, but Tim ran it over cedars and other material up to six inches, though it would stall if trying to mulch a tree all in one shot.
Run wide open throttle. When the attachment is under load it typically settles at about 5,450 RPM.
No, the teeth work like stump grinder teeth and cut the tree off at ground level with no stump sticking up.
It has slip clutch protection, but Tim wants it to slip only when hitting something absolutely solid, not when the tractor stalls under load.
