1. How big of a tree can your machines take down/mulch up?
Our machines stay highly productive if a tree is 12” and under, however there is no limit! Our machines are designed to chew through wood no matter the size. If it fits in the 6’ head, we can mulch it up.
2. How many acres can a forestry mulcher cover in a day?
Productivity depends on the thickness of the forest and underbrush, as well as the skill of an operator. Our highly-skilled professionals can usually clean up 1 to 3 acres of land in an 8 hour day.
3. Do forestry mulchers leave stumps?
When forestry mulchers are operated with knives, it will cut everything flush with the ground (if ground is somewhat level).
If mulchers are operated with carbides, they will leave 2-4” little stumps since they hammer the wood rather than cutting it.
4. Is a forestry mulcher the fastest way to clean up underbrush?
Forestry mulching is a highly efficient and economical way of cleaning up your timber, while leaving little debris.
5. How wet of an area can you mulch in?
You can operate in some moderate wet areas, but our skilled operators use their best judgement on every job. Even though these machines are on tracks, they are still 15,000 pounds, so if there is no root structure, they can sink.
