The purpose built mulching units are mounted onto skid steer, agricultural based and/or purpose built prime movers , rubber tyred or tracked ranging from 100hp to 600hp. These machines can clear anywhere from 1/4 hectare to over 1 hectare per hour, depending on the terrain and the size of the material to be mulched.

These machines are utilised in:

Each tractor mulching unit has full underbelly guarding, 4 way power tilt blade, bush rigging, rops/fops canopy, steel wire armour tyres, heavy duty forestry rims and 2-way radio communications.

Mulching Australia operates the largest range of purpose built mulching units in Australia , we can offer machines from 100hp to 600hp tracked or rubber tyred in conjunction with large infield chippers , tub grinders or any other machine that may be required.

Mulching Australia can offer a range of purpose built mulching units to suit different job requirements. We are the only business that can match the required horsepower or machine to each job to give the best cost savings to the end-user or to run 2 or 3 different size machines together, again to maximise the efficiency and produce the best results. We can easily mulch material from saplings up to 1.5m in diameter, green or dry timber.

Groomers are an excavator mounted flail mulching mower that can be mounted on excavators from 8 to 40 tonne. Groomers are best utilised in:

Groomers can mulch material up to 14 inches in diameter and work very effectively in conjunction with the Purpose Built Mulching Units. We utilise the groomer like a giant whipper snipper and the tractor mounted mulching unit as a ride-on mower.

Groomers can mulch an area of up to 2 hectares per day. As the excavator is restricted in performing so many cycles or functions per minute, it is physically impossible for these machines to clear any more area than this. Excavators should not be used to clear large flat areas as they are uneconomical in a broad acre sense.

Groomers have the capability to be able to reach in and around objects without damage to the surrounding environment, trees or to the vegetation that is to remain.

Fairbrother Contracting can offer a full range of groomers mounted onto 12 tonne, 15 tonne, 20 tonne, 25 tonne and 30 tonne excavators.

The vertical extraction tree grab is an excavator mounted tree grab that can either pull the trees out of the ground roots-n-all with absolute
minimal ground disturbance, or remove limbs or tops of trees by breaking them off.

Tree grabs can be utilised for:

The tree grab has total control over the material that it handles, making it extremely safe in tight or restricted areas.

The tree grab can remove trees vertically from the ground with ease as the root system of the tree is not designed to withstand vertical forces.

The root system has been specifically developed to handle lateral or horizontal forces so therefore removing the tree vertically offers the area of least resistance.

A tree grab can remove a 20m tree in less than 60 seconds or it can break the top out and then remove the base within 90 seconds.

The tree grab can also be utilised to hold a tree whilst it is being cut by chainsaw and then lower the tree with total control to the ground.

Mulching Australia can offer tree grabs mounted onto 20, 25 and 30 tonne excavators.

The stone crushers are the most cost efficient means of maintaining or refurbishing gravel roads available, with cost savings of up to 80% of your current costs. Below are some of the stone crushers main tasks:

The stone crushers can crush rock up to 500mm in diameter, down to 70mm, at a rate of over 300 tonne per hour. The stone crusher can also be utilised for crushing base course on new roads, tidying up forestry roads, fire trails, mulching vegetation and rock in areas too rocky for a conventional mulcher.

Other applications include crushing concrete, tarseal, bricks, building blocks, tiles. In farming such as cropping scenarios and horticultural
applications it can be used to crush rock in vineyards, fruit trees, olive groves etc. and to refurbish access tracks.

Mulching Australia can provide references, names and phone numbers of Councils and Government Departments that have used this machinery and will be happy to verify the cost savings and capability.

We offer a drone service with a high resolution camera for scoping the terrain ahead of the machines and identifying hazards.

For larger projects we can also deploy our two-seater Aerochute ultra-light aircraft. With a parachute wing that is always open, it is an exceptionally safe survey platform: it flies straight and level at 15–20 km/h – ideal for survey, reconnaissance and photographic work – and needs only 50 metres to take off and land, so it can be deployed from dirt tracks, easements or flat paddocks.
