Built for Australia’s Toughest Forestry Conditions
AR Equipment forestry mulchers are engineered to perform in the harshest environments, using proven, high-quality components to deliver consistent, reliable results in demanding applications. Key components include French-made Hydro Leduc bent axis piston motors and an American Sunvalve pressure-compensating flow control valve, working together to maintain stable rotor RPM and dependable cutting performance under load.
Motor Choice: Power Where It Matters
AR Equipment forestry mulchers are powered by bent-axis piston motors, selected for their durability and ability to deliver higher usable torque in hard Australian timber.
Unlike variable displacement motors—designed to reduce power when demand drops—bent-axis piston motors deliver full power at all times. In forestry mulching, where machines are consistently working at maximum load, maintaining constant torque is critical. The carrier machine (excavator) supplies the oil flow and pressure; the mulcher’s role is to use that power efficiently, not dial it back.
This approach ensures:
- Stronger, consistent cutting force
- Improved performance in dense scrub and hard timber
- Fewer compromises in heavy, oil-hungry applications
Features Designed for Real Jobsite Control
Models suited to 8-ton machines and above are available with a hydraulic debris door, providing greater control in sensitive environments such as near buildings, fences, or infrastructure.
With the door closed, material is retained in the rotor chamber for longer, resulting in:
- Improved material downsizing
- A cleaner, more consistent finish
- Greater operator control and safety
Standard Inclusions on All AR Equipment Mulchers
Every AR Equipment forestry mulcher comes fully equipped, including:
- Head brackets matched to your machine (included in the price)
- Hydraulic hoses
- Thumb
- Pre-wired Deutsch plug on debris door models
No add-ons. No surprises.
Rotor Design for Hard Timber Performance
AR Equipment forestry mulchers are purpose-built for Australian conditions, where hard timber places extreme demands on rotors and bearings. All units are fitted with horsepower-controlled (bite-limiting) rotors, designed to manage load, protect driveline components, and maximise productivity.
Tooling options include:
- Carbide teeth
- Tungsten bear claw tools
- Mounted on C3 adapters
This combination delivers durability, controlled bite, and consistent mulching performance across a wide range of vegetation.
