How large of a tree can you mulch?

This question is very important, and one will ask as we help decide which machine to bring. 

Skid steer mulchers, like our Kubota, are very limited to what they can handle size wise. While they do great for brush and saplings. Anything over 6 inches is going to be the limit.

Our dedicated machines such as our Fecon FTX128L have much higher horsepower and are capable of mulching up to 16 inches in diameter (we can handle larger but those are determined on site due to safety reasons)

If your land clearing jobs requires mulching more trees than brush it is always a better idea to go with a dedicated machine over a skid steer mulcher. As the old saying goes, there is no replacement for displacement. In the woods more horsepower always gets the job done faster.
