Indeco IMH hydraulic mulchers: the ideal solution for clearing vegetation and maintaining green spaces

27 August 2025

When it comes to maintaining green spaces and clearing ground, Indeco IMH hydraulic mulching heads offer a highly efficient, versatile and hard-wearing solution. Designed for installation on excavators, mini loaders and 3 to 49-ton skid steers, these hydraulic mulching heads for forestry and agricultural work adapt to all kinds of operational needs, transforming your worksite machine into a powerful environmental management tool.

Main uses: versatility on all terrain

The IMH forestry mulching heads are ideal for removing trees, undergrowth, land-clearing and creating fire breaker lines, as well as periodically clearing public and private green spaces. Their efficiency is showcased in a variety of areas, such as pipelines, ski slopes, railway lines, motorways, electricity pylons and even golf courses.

But it isn’t just a question of cutting, IMH mulching heads can also be used to shred branches, bushes, roots and tree trunks, turning them into material for reuse as natural mulch. This helps to make the soil more fertile, reduces erosion and limits the use of chemical fertilisers, resulting in both economic and environmental benefits.

Efficiency and productivity: less time, more results

Indeco mulching heads for excavators guarantee high productivity and savings on operating costs. The multiple or direct V-belt transmission, combined with fixed or variable displacement hydraulic motor units, ensure excellent power control and easy maintenance.

The versions with VD piston motors automatically adapt to the machine’s hydraulic characteristics, thus optimising torque and rotor speed. This system reduces the risk of overheating and improves performance during continuous work.

The use of HARDOX® steel for the machine body and anti-wear skids, together with the Heavy Duty rotor, ensure exceptional durability even in the harshest of conditions. The interchangeable teeth and “bite limiter” profiles result in powerful, uniform mulching, improving operating continuity.

Safety and simplified maintenance

One of the strong points of IMH mulchers is their ease of use and maintenance. Direct access to the internal components, like the shaft and hydraulic connections, ensures fast, safe interventions. The centralised connections, visible greasing points and anti-cavitation safety valve reduce the risk of faults and increase the reliability of the equipment.

The mulching heads can also be quickly and safely installed on different models of excavators thanks to the interchangeable assembly points, thus avoiding errors that could affect productivity.

A broad range for all needs

The IMH Series is divided into three types to cover all needs:

  • For compact excavators: seven models from IMH 3 to IMH 14, with a maximum mulching capacity from 75 mm to 380 mm in diameter.
  • For excavators: IMH 20 and IMH 30, up to 410 mm as the maximum mulching diameter.
  • For skid steers: models from IMH 3.2 SS to IMH 5.2 SS, with a maximum mulching diameter between 180 mm and 250 mm.

This variety makes the IMH Series perfect for any type of vegetation clearing work, from straightforward residential green space maintenance to intensive operations in forests and along railway lines.

Sustainability and savings

In addition to the technical benefits, IMH green space maintenance equipment actively contributes to environmental sustainability. The mulched material can be left in place as natural ground cover, thus reducing the need for transport and disposal while improving the condition of the soil.

In conclusion, Indeco hydraulic mulching heads are reliable, durable and sustainable tools for anyone who uses machines to maintain green spaces. Whether it’s equipment for land clearing or machines to eliminate vegetation, the IMH Series is the professional equipment of choice in terms of efficiency, versatility and respect for the environment.
