Forestry Mulcher / Stump Grinder
Clears stumps, brush and forestry residue.
What it is used for
Clears stumps, brush and forestry residue.
How to operate it
Align over stumps/brush, lower/activate and move slowly until the obstruction is removed.
Selection and setup
Check the in-game shop for power requirement, working width, capacity, supported fill types, hitch/header compatibility and optional configurations before purchase or leasing.
Operating procedure
Before starting, confirm the machine is compatible with the crop/material and that the power unit meets the shop requirement. Attach or enter the machine, unfold/prepare it, position at the start of the work area, lower/activate the working components where applicable, then work consistent passes at the machine’s rated working speed. Monitor fill level, material type and missed strips. Stop/lift the working parts before tight headland turns, reposition, then resume.
Before you buy or lease
Check working width, working speed, power requirement, capacity, supported fill/crop types, hitch/header compatibility, wheel/tyre options and whether the tool combines another field operation. Lease highly specialised equipment when it will only be used for a small acreage.
Compatibility & attachments
This shows what the equipment connects to, which attachment families work with it, and what each combination is used for. For a specific model, the in-game shop Combinations panel is the final compatibility check.
| Compatible connection / attachment | Used for | Important notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tractor or dedicated carrier | Clear brush and, depending on tool, grind stumps. | Check PTO/power requirement and whether the tool is a mulcher or stump grinder. |
Procedure
- Use after felling when stumps/brush need to be cleared from the land.
- Attach/position the mulcher and lower the cutting head onto the stump or brush area.
- Work slowly enough for the head to fully remove the stump/material rather than skimming over it.
- Sweep the area in overlapping passes where brush covers a wider patch.
- Inspect the cleared ground before landscaping or creating/expanding fields.

Alternative options

Practical tips
- Clear stumps before replanting or repurposing the ground.
- Operate at the tool’s rated working speed and allow space at headlands for clean turns.
