Cat® Mulchers for Skid Steer Loaders and Compact Track Loaders are designed for high-performance cutting and mulching vegetation and undergrowth from forested terrain. The hydraulic mulcher reduces saplings, shrubs and trees into mulched material, making it ideal for environmental maintenance, such as creating fire lanes. Other applications include land reclamation, foliage removal from building construction sites, and shredding pruned material and organic waste for biomass production.
