Sibom Heavy-Duty Skid Steer Wood Chipper — High-Capacity, Low-Maintenance Mulching Power for CAT, Bobcat & Kubota Loaders

When a wind-torn sycamore scatters limbs across a suburban street, when ice storms drop elm tops into a rancher’s fence, or when an arborist prunes ten acres of orchard in a single day, one question always follows: How do we turn all that woody chaos into tidy, valuable mulch before the next chore starts? The answer rolls up on tracks or tires and clicks into place in mere minutes—Sibom’s skid steer wood chipper, a purpose-built, hydraulic, universal skid steer chipper that lets every CAT®, Bobcat®, or Kubota® loader chew branches, brush, limbs, and small logs into consistent, saleable chips with production rates that make tow-behind drum chippers look dated.

A Powerplant That Drinks Flow—Not Teeth

Inside the frame spins a massive, dynamically balanced flywheel paired with a high torque chipper motor fed directly from your loader’s auxiliary circuit. The Sibom drive comes in both belt drive wood chipper and direct drive chipper configurations. Landscape contractors running 26 gpm on a Kubota SSV65 often choose the Kevlar belt for its shock-absorbing cushion; municipality crews unleashing a CAT 299 XHP’s 40 gpm high-flow prefer the gearbox’s straight-through punch. Either way, the motor’s displacement is matched to your flow at purchase, so there is no starving feed rolls, no bogged knives—just an energy-efficient, consistent feed chipper that powers through cedar thickets one minute and maple pruning rounds the next.

Beneath a quick-lift hood, twin counter-rotating feeder roller wood chipper drums bite stock and deliver it into the knives with positive traction—no operator strain shoving limbs into the mouth, no dangerous kickback. The top roller floats on nitrogen shocks; a crooked crotch that would jam lesser units passes smoothly, earning Sibom’s head its reputation as a smooth feed wood chipper that keeps the lane traffic moving during frantic storm cleanup chipper deployments.

Double-Edge Knives Mean Double the Uptime

Instead of single-use high-carbon inserts, Sibom equips the flywheel with dual edged knife chipper blades forged from alloy, vacuum-hardened, and finished to a keen, 28-degree bevel. When one edge finally dulls, flip the plate, torque to spec, and return to work with a factory-fresh edge in under ten minutes—no grinding vanes, no costly resharpen trips. The knife pockets include a slight back-relief that clears accumulated sap and debris, ensuring every disc rotation delivers a precision cutting chipper bite rather than a ragged tear.

A built-in dial indicator peeks through the armor, acting as a live pressure gauge chipper. If chips thicken or feed pressure spikes, the operator sees it before strain reaches seals, protecting both loader pump and attachment motor. That predictive safeguard and quick-blade flip system combine to create a low maintenance chipper that rental fleets send out every weekend without lost deposits.

Built for Abuse—And Years Beyond

From the welded push bar to the beefy skid-shoes, the entire housing is laser-cut from 5 mm steel body wood chipper plate then gusseted for side impacts. High-wear surfaces receive bolt-on AR liners so an owner can swap steel, not entire casings, guaranteeing a long life chipper ready for hundreds of hours in harsh condition chipper reality—think salty hurricane debris or gritty desert mesquite. All hoses route behind a frame-welded guard and finish in leak-free flat face coupler saw style tips, completing the plug and play chipper mantra Sibom follows on every SSL tool.

A Mouth Designed for Real World Branch Geometry

A tapered, flared anvil guides material into a wide mouth chipper opening large enough for gnarly crotches yet compact enough to stay inside the loader width—no travel permits, easier trailer loading. On paper the spec reads “up to 94 inch feeding width chipper,” but operators mostly remember how even bent storm limbs can be slewed sideways into the feed tray without lopping the branch first. Once inside, aggressive roller teeth take over, enabling that coveted “self-feeding wood chipper” feel that saves your shoulders and keeps loader cab doors safely closed.

When chips exit the chamber, twin vanes fling them up a 270-degree spout. Aim it into a waiting truck bed for true truck loading wood chipper efficiency or spin the chute to direct discharge against a compost windrow—an ideal trick for municipal park maintenance chipper duty where clippings must stay onsite.

Safety Engineered from Every Angle

Wood-processing tools deserve respect, so Sibom loads the head with features that lower risk without lowering productivity. Rubber curtains hang ahead of the feed tray, deflecting back-scatter. A wrap-around kill bar rings the tray edge: bump it anywhere and the chipper safety shutoff dumps hydraulic flow, freezing rollers in under a second. A forward/neutral/reverse paddle sits inside loader reach so you can flick a lodged forked branch out by toggling flow, never leaving the seat. Combined with low RPM disc bite, these touches create a truly safety enhanced chipper that insurers favor and operators trust.

From 20 Horse Mini Skids to 110 Horse Track Monsters

The core drum remains constant; adapters tailor the power:

• Mini skid steer saw style mount for 20–25 gpm stand-on loaders clearing HOA greenbelts

• Standard-flow SSL plate for Bobcat S66, CAT 262D3, Kubota SSV75—bread-and-butter residential wood chipper and property owner wood chipper work

• High flow wood chipper gear-case option for forestry crews swinging 40-plus gpm into mixed hardwood blowdown

Because each drive fits the same shell, upgrading a loader later means ordering only a new hydraulic motor kit—your universal mount chipper head keeps earning.

Where the Sibom Chipper Makes Money

• Land clearing chipper contractors punch in after the disc tree saw, turning limbs to truck-sized payloads in minutes.

• Right-of-way mulching chipper teams “hot chip” utility cuttings rather than hauling them offsite.

• Biofuel chipper attachment operators feed wood boilers with uniform pulp ready for immediate burn.

• Sawmill residue chipper lines take slab wood and edge trim straight from the green chain into marketable bio-mass.

• Orchard pruning chipper crews slash labor by sucking grape vine clippings directly from row floor into grape turning windrows.

• Storm cleanup chipper duty sees the head clearing storm fronts, tornado paths, and hurricane debris faster than grapple hauls alone.

Whether you’re a city manager, a rental-yard buyer, or a three-crew land-clear company, the Sibom disc’s ability to swap from garden waste chipper one week to commercial wood chipper the next is the operational advantage your spreadsheet will love.

Real-World ROI, Not Spec-Sheet Hype

A Louisiana arbor company mounted Sibom’s head on a CAT 259D to tackle hurricane downed pines. They reported processing 40 cubic yards an hour into chip vans—double their trailered drum unit—because the loader maneuvered between driveways the tow rig couldn’t enter.

A Midwest fence installer chipped cedar posts onsite, leaving nothing to haul. Fuel savings, disposal fees eliminated, and two fewer dump-runs per day paid the attachment off in five months.

Meanwhile, an Oregon vineyard replaced burn piles with on-row chipping, saving labor and meeting air-quality rules in one swoop. Grape cane chips provide compost, boosting soil carbon and closing the loop—a cost effective chipper trick even public grant auditors applaud.

Minimal Wrench Time—Maximum Run Time

Daily service? Grease two Zerks, eyeball the pressure gauge, glance at the knife wear bevel (painted yellow so scratches show). Weekly? Pop four bolts, flip blades, wipe sap from the anvil, spin chute grease cap twice. Every season? Crack the belt guard and check tension, drain and refill ten ounces of gear oil. Done. That’s a low maintenance chipper plan any part-time mechanic can manage.

The Sibom Promise: Attach, Engage, Produce

Order your head with the mount and flow kit that matches your CAT, Bobcat, or Kubota. Choose carbide or knife, chute or direct-spout, standard belt or high-flow gear. Every unit ships powder-coated Sibom yellow, flywheel balanced, knives torqued, and hoses capped. Roll the crate off, snap the quick attach chipper, prime, and fire chips ten minutes later. No programming, no cylinder timing, no break-in drama—just clean, consistent, high capacity chipper output that turns tree waste into profit.

With Sibom’s heavy duty chipper spinning out mulch and biomass at loader speed, brush piles become revenue, labor shrinks, and your compact fleet cuts, feeds, and grinds its way to a cleaner, greener bottom line. Plug in, push limbs, watch chips fly—the woods have finally met their match.
