|
|
|
|
|
Remote Side Spreading
Material can be propelled under branches with remarkable accuracy. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
| It is an outstanding
labor-saving solution for routine application of bulk materials
for uses such as: |
| APPLICATIONS |

| SPECIAL USES |
|
| |
|
 |
In this greenhouse a Row Mulcher was adapted for use as
a tender for a pot filling machine. It saves constant
running back and forth with a skid steer loader to keep
the filler loaded with potting mix.
A Row Mulcher saves a lot of time and labor for this nursery
operator applying mulch for wintering over protection
on container grown nursery stock |
