MASTICATING, ALSO KNOWN AS FORESTRY MULCHING, IS A TECHNIQUE USED TO REDUCE LADDER FUELS AND MANAGE VEGETATION. THE MASTICATING ATTACHMENT ON A SKID STEER CHEWS UP SMALLER TREES AND BRUSH MATERIAL, LEAVING MATERIAL THAT IS SIMILAR TO WHAT WOULD COME OUT OF A CHIPPER. 

DEPENDING ON THE TERRAIN AND DENSITY OF VEGETATION, MASTICATING CAN BE A MORE EFFICIENT TOOL TO CONSIDER WHEN LOOKING TO REDUCE OVERGROWN AND/OR DEAD VEGETATION ON YOUR PROPERTY.
