Baumalight's lineup of PTO-driven brush mulchers continues to grow stronger with the addition of the MP972 — a compact yet formidable attachment designed to bring professional-grade land clearing capability to smaller tractors. Covering the high-performance end of the compact category, the MP972 is engineered for operators who demand maximum output without sacrificing maneuverability on tighter terrain.
The mechanical PTO drive makes the MP972 the natural companion for tractors in the 30 to 60 HP range. Lightweight by design and built for durability, it handles dense brush, saplings, and woody vegetation with ease — performing on par with dedicated mowing attachments like twin-axle cutters on flat ground.
The MP972 PTO Brush Mulcher shreds woody material and dense brush up to 5 inches in diameter, delivering clean results in a single pass.
Engineered for Compact Tractors
The MP972 was purpose-built for tractors and compact utility vehicles requiring a PTO-driven mulcher rated for intensive forestry tasks. The MP972 is specifically tailored for smaller machines and public works equipment up to 60 HP — and thanks to its light overall footprint, it delivers exceptional slope stability and precise ground-following even on uneven terrain.
With a maximum recommended operating weight of under 600 kg, the attachment remains practical and efficient without overloading your tractor's front or rear linkage. Its construction in AR400 steel ensures that wear resistance and service life are preserved — even at lower weights than its full-size counterparts. The total two-tonne structural rating of the rotor assembly means dependable performance season after season.
ey Features at a Glance
CUT CONTROL Rotor Technology
The standard CUT CONTROL rotor is equipped with MINI DUO hammers tipped with tungsten carbide inserts — a pairing that combines excellent longevity with minimal service requirements. Every rotor across the full Baumalight mulcher range uses CUT CONTROL hammers of the latest generation, fitted with SPLIT MINI DUO tooling and an innovative depth-limiting guide.
The depth limiter skid, similar in function to a depth gauge on a chainsaw, controls how deeply the rotor engages the material — preventing binding, protecting the drivetrain, and ensuring every pass is clean and controlled. The SPLIT MINI DUO geometry further enhances the self-centering of chips, producing a finer, more uniform mulch output.
For landowners or contractors dealing with standing timber not yet felled, the optional MINT BI ADF blade kit makes the MP972 uniquely effective — delivering fast, precise cutting action against live wood thanks to its aggressive bi-directional blade profile.

Who Uses the MP972?
This mulcher attachment is widely used by landscapers and groundskeepers for seasonal vegetation clearing, by municipal crews tackling public green space maintenance, and by farmers needing to reclaim overgrown acreage. Its versatility in applications — from roadside brush clearing to orchard maintenance — makes it one of the most practical attachments in a small tractor operator's toolkit.
Thanks to Baumalight's integrated engineering approach, the MP972 — compact as it is — operates at the same performance tier routinely seen in mulchers rated up to 500 HP. That means professional results with every pass, regardless of the job site's scale.
