The forestry cutter's tube-style drum and spiral tooth pattern allow one tooth to engage at a time, so operation is smooth and less horsepower is required to get the job done. Simply lower the forestry mower onto the tree and its fast-cutting teeth will shred it to shreds, turning it into a bed of mulch that slows growth and provides organic material. The compact size of the forestry cutter allows for any type of removal work, whether cleaning all the trees in an area or selectively thinning the stands.

How long does forestry mulch take to decompose?
The mulch produced from our forest mulching process will break down in 2 to 10 seasons, depending on the type of wood, the amount of mulch and the soil conditions. Typically, you'll see small native plants growing within a week or two (depending on the season) after the process is complete.
What do forestry mulchers do?
By processing trees and other vegetation where they are found, forestry grinders eliminate many of the time-consuming steps involved in clearing the land (site preparation, cutting, hauling, and cleaning) while keeping costs low. Forest mulching is also the best option for clearing the land in an environmentally friendly way.
How big of a skid steer do you need for a forestry mulcher?
The unit requires a skid steer with a rating of at least 90 hp and a high-flow hydraulic system with a flow rate of 37 gpm and a pressure rating of 3,500 psi, says Carera. Often, when it comes to this type of equipment, size equals productivity.
How many horsepower does it take to run a forestry mulcher?
When it comes to horsepower, it's important to have a high-flow circuit and an engine of at least 70 hp, Slattery notes. Most current production tractors equipped with high flow have 70 to 100 hp engine options and high flow circuits that produce adequate hydraulic power for mulching.
