Mulching Material Capacity: 200mm to 300mm

Material capacity is the least glamorous specification in this industry and the one most likely to decide whether your job is possible in a single operation. It is the maximum stem thickness the machine will take and process.

GRazer's machines handle material in the 200mm to 300mm range. The nearest comparable slope mulching operator in this market advertises 100mm. That is not a marginal difference, it is the difference between a machine that handles regrowth and one that handles a stand that has been left for fifteen years.

What it means in practice: mature gorse with woody stems, established tree privet with a real trunk, bamboo culms, wilding conifer regrowth and small trees are all inside scope. On a site with that kind of material, lower-capacity equipment means either felling everything first as a separate operation, or simply declining the job.

It matters most on exactly the sites people call about. Land that has been neglected long enough to become a problem has, by definition, had time to get woody. The stand that is easy to mulch is usually the one nobody has needed to phone about yet.

Above 300mm the honest answer changes: that becomes a felling operation with mulching to follow, which is a different scope and a different cost. GRazer will tell you that at the estimate stage rather than after arriving on site.
