Demonstration on Standing Trees
At 9:55 in
A New Hybrid Mulcher 4K
What happens here
The mulcher is then utilized to fell and shred standing trees, showcasing its capability for more extensive land clearing. The operator carefully positions the excavator, lowers the mulcher to the base of a small tree, and grinds through the trunk until the tree is cut down. The fallen tree is then further mulched into smaller pieces. A closer inspection of a cut tree base reveals it to be significantly larger than the mulcher's rated 4-inch capacity (estimated at 7 inches in diameter by 5 inches), demonstrating the attachment's potential beyond its listed specifications, though this may not be recommended for routine heavy-duty use.
Goal: Demonstrate the mulcher's capacity for felling and shredding standing trees.
