Forestry Mulchers: For Tractors, Skid Steers & Excavators

What is a forestry mulcher?

Forestry mulchers are mainly used to clean up and maintain forests and green spaces in general, removing branches, shrubs, and bushes and pruning trees. People also use them to prepare soil for planting seeds and trees, making trails, cleaning out burnt areas, and creating fire breaks. Forestry mulchers can be paired with different operating machines, like tractors, excavators and mini excavators, skid steers, and special vehicles. The type of operating machine will depend on the type of job and the size of the work area. In general, forestry mulchers are quite versatile and can be used with a wide range of operating machines, making them ideal for vegetation care and maintenance.
