One of the most frequent missteps in mulcher selection is focusing on cutting width or price while overlooking the host machine's actual size and hydraulic output. Strap an oversized attachment onto your excavator, and you'll overload the hydraulic system, watch the boom droop, compromise stability, and acc...

Picking the right excavator mulcher is one of the bigger decisions a forestry contractor, land-clearing professional, or vegetation-management specialist will make.

When you're looking at excavator attachments for clearing vegetation, two names come up again and again—flail mower and mulcher—and they're often mixed up.
