Overview

The 470 mulcher is an agile, low ground pressure machine best suited to tough terrain and sensitive site ROW, pipeline maintenance and exploration projects.

Play it Cool

The high capacity cooling system features a swing out cooler screen for easy cleaning.

An automatic variable speed, reversible fan purges debris for improved fuel economy and cold weather starts.
