Forestry Mulcher Services

Line Thinning

Line thinning sitka spruce blocks with the mulcher can be the most cost effective method, it also creates access into an other wise impenetrable block. More space is created for the trees, it allows sunlight in benefiting wild life and ground fauna, and such rides can create good access for shooting and stalking!

Forest before starting clearing

Takeuchi TL150 is a very versatile machine, being on rubber tracks minimal ground pressure is achieved, and due to the compactness of the machine, it is ideal for working within woodland, were it will work below the tree canopy, and with a working width of 2 meters this makes access through woods easy.

Line Thinning

Skid plates on head can be adjusted, so the teeth can go as much as 4 inches into soil there fore leaving nothing standing above ground and allows material to be broken down quicker as it is incorporated with the soil, or the plates can be adjusted so that the teeth do not disturb the ground which is some times necessary in sssi areas(sites of special scientific interest)

Line Thinning

Having a tracked machine, there is a far larger area for the weight to be distributed as apposed to a machine on wheels, this means minimal ground pressure is achieved, this creates less compaction minimizing soil damage, helping remaining trees and vegetation and any underlying drainage!

The end product as shown in photo is the left to break down in the soil, which is far quicker than large pieces of timber, this also creates plent of organic matter for the soil which will help improve the soil,s fertility.

Using a forestry mulcher is a cost effective non burn method for site clearing which is better for the environment and can benefit the soil.
