What happens here
After the trees are planted, apply a layer of wood chip mulch to the entire planting bed. This step is demonstrated using a Kubota KX040-4 mini excavator to scoop wood chips from a large pile into a Toro Multi Force compact utility loader with a Mulch Force dump bucket attachment. The Mulch Force is then driven along the planting bed, precisely dumping and spreading the mulch around the newly planted trees. The narrator highlights the efficiency and maneuverability of the Mulch Force in tight spaces, allowing for even distribution of mulch without damaging the young trees or surrounding turf.
Goal: Apply wood chip mulch for moisture retention and weed suppression.
