Regular mulchers are typically used for garden and light agricultural purposes to process yard waste like leaves, small branches, and grass clippings into mulch for landscaping and composting. As they are designed for consumer and light commercial use, they are generally smaller, less powerful, and more maneuverable than forestry mulchers.

Their blades and cutting abilities are suited for softer, less dense organic materials like leaves and small branches as opposed to large trees. They are primarily used for enhancing garden health and appearance, mulching garden beds, and producing compost material.

On the contrary, forestry mulchers are built to be robust and powerful and come as standalone machines and attachments for heavy machinery like skid steer loaders, excavators, backhoes, and telehandlers. These mulchers have heavy-duty cutting heads that are designed to withstand the force when cutting through thick trees and dense brush, making them essential tools in fire mitigation efforts by clearing land and reducing the risk of spreading fire.

Their heads utilise a rotating drum or fixed teeth that can tear through thick wood and fibrous materials, turning trees and vegetation into mulch directly on the forest floor. They are designed for land management and environmental conservation efforts but are commonly used to clear land for development.

EZ mulchers use both standard and high flow hydraulics, incorporating a reliable, high-performance direct drive motor with no need for aftermarket cooling. The design incorporates superior weight and balance which enables extraordinary mobility for clearing embankments, creeks and under bridges.

+ Designed for excavators, backhoes and most sizes of skid steer loaders.

+ Built to Australian standards – Each tree mulcher is designed, manufactured & assembled in our South-East Qld facility.

+ High-quality reversible flail blades – Blades are Italian-made and designed to last longer than standard flail blades.

+ Reliability – We’ve designed the billet bearing housing and drum structures to maximise performance and reliability.

+ Custom-built hitch – Prevents unnecessary wearing of pins and bushes.

+ Anti-vibration mounts – Replaces belts and pulleys to reduce vibration more effectively.

+ Built-in thumb saddle – Lets you pick up or drag debris easily when paired with the optional hydraulic thumb grab.

+ Solid steel build – For superior toughness and durability.

There are two distinct types of forestry mulchers with different designs and purposes, affecting their efficiency and suitability for various tasks:

• Swinging Flail Mulchers
• Fixed Flail Mulchers

These mulchers have hammers or blades mounted on a rotating drum or shaft that swing freely. The swinging motion allows the hammers to retract slightly upon hitting a hard object, minimising the risk of damage. The flails swing out by centrifugal force as the drum spins, striking and mulching the vegetation. These mulchers are better suited for cutting softer, less dense vegetation, and for finishing mowing or controlling overgrown areas with smaller brush and weeds. They are more commonly used on lighter vegetation up to 3” diameter and more specifically, on applications where finer mulch is desired or in less dense forested areas.

Your model selection will be determined by a combination of your machine size and the type of vegetation.

Your model selection will be determined by a combination of your machine size and the type of vegetation.

These mulchers use Hardened Hammers firmly attached to a rotating drum. The hammers strike and mulch the vegetation with every pass. These mulchers are better suited for heavy duty forestry applications and are commonly used for controlling heavy vegetation, cutting tree limbs and reducing stumps to mulch Fixed Flail Mulchers are commonly used in applications where there are tree limbs above 75mm in diameter, however, this style of mulcher can still be used to mulch the lighter vegetation also. Unlike Swinging hammer mulchers fixed flail heavy-duty forestry Mulchers as they are commonly known as, are more effective in processing thick, woody vegetation.

These are sometimes referred to as Fixed Tooth Mulchers.

Hydraulic flow is the rate at which hydraulic fluid moves through a system. This directly impacts the power and efficiency of hydraulic machinery, including forestry mulchers. High flow hydraulics enables mulchers to better handle vegetation and produce finer mulch, working well with different machines, from small skid steers to a mid-sized loader.

Having adaptable mounting plates allows mulchers to be equipped with a smaller mulching head for jobs that require a clean and tidy final mulch even in tight spaces. This makes them versatile across various tasks, from large land-clearing projects to smaller, precise jobs.

Safer Cutting and Tree Clearing

EZ’s hydraulic forestry mulcher cuts downward, not outward. This makes it ideal for pruning trees or clearing grass in populated areas. This mechanism also helps reduce accidents and injuries from wayward debris and materials. Hydraulic forestry mulchers also provide better control when clearing large areas and cutting high branches.

Tree Mulchers for Superior Cutting

EZ’s tree and forestry mulchers are among the most efficient tools for cutting tree parts or clearing large spaces. It can cut through branches and rough overgrowth in seconds, letting you clear large foliage faster and easier than manual cutting. When coupled with the right machinery, flail mulchers allow cutting of difficult or hard-to-reach areas.

Powerful hydraulic mulcher

Powered by direct drive hydraulic motors, our tree mulcher range cuts through tough branches and stubborn debris up to 200mm diameter.
