Easy mowing and mulching Designed and made in Japan for steep gradient/low canopy orchard mowing and heavy duty mulching applications, CANYCOM 4WD machines are finding a niche market here in rugged and often hilly areas of New Zealand. “Unlike a tractor, CANYCOM’s low centre of gravity and tight turning circle enables orchardists to get in and around trees without having to prune away copious amounts of valuable crop bearing foliage. This often results in increased crop yield dollars,” said Warkworth’s Stihl shop manager Mike Bremner. “Orchardists wanting to return biomass and nutrients back around tree roots can mulch prunings where they drop — up to 60mm in diameter. Unlike heavy tractors with mulchers, using the CANYCOM you can do it in Winter when you actually prune, and even on boggy and slippery sloping ground. With only quarter of the ground pressure of an average tractor, it won’t damage shallow root systems or heavily compact the surrounding ground affecting vital soil aeration. When it comes to mulching here is what Derek from Duck Creek Olive Oil Matakana had to say, “In one day we mulched what would have normally taken one month with a chipper.”
