Mulchers
Cat® Mulchers for Skid Steer Loaders, Compact Track Loaders, and Mini Excavators are designed for high-performance cutting and mulching vegetation and undergrowth from forested terrain.

Other applications include land reclamation, foliage removal from building construction sites, and shredding pruned material and organic waste for biomass production.
