Editor's note: This report was updated May 12, 2026, with new products. 

When it comes time to slash and grab, check out these construction equipment attachments for clearing land.

Our product roundup includes a variety of brush and forestry cutters for chopping through thick vegetation and small trees with your construction equipment.

Then when it’s time to clean out the felled debris, several types of grapples, stump cutters and tree pullers for excavators and compact equipment can help you tackle the job.

New Cat Bite-Limiter Mulchers (see photo at the top of this article) for 6- to 10-metric-ton Cat mini excavators cut and mulch vegetation, saplings, shrubs and undergrowth from overgrown agricultural land and forests. Ribs on the rotor limit material penetration of the chisel teeth to prevent stalling. An integrated thumb bracket allows the operator to pull or push material into position or move it away from the mulching area. The mulcher comes with a gauge to ensure correct sharpening of the chisel teeth for a consistent cut and finished product.

Heavy Drum MulcherBlue Diamond AttachmentsBlue Diamond has added two new landclearing attachments for skid steers and compact track loaders. The Heavy Duty Drum Mulcher requires a hydraulic flow range of 22 to 46 gallons per minute. At 60 inches wide, the model can mulch small trees, large branches and grind stumps. The 72-inch-wide Heavy Duty Open Front Brush Cutter for compact loaders up to 75 horsepower with standard-flow hydraulics can cut grass, heavy brush and trees up to 4 inches in diameter. Its open front feeds standing trees and heavy brush faster than closed-front designs, the company says.

BL0/EX forestry mulcherFAEFAE has launched two new forestry mulchers for excavators. The UMM/S/EX is designed for excavators, particularly feller bunchers, from 25 to 40 tons for cutting through trees and vegetation up to 16 inches in diameter with a working width of 62 inches. FAE also rolled out its smallest fixed-tooth mulcher with bite limiting technology, the BL0/EX, for 2- to 5-ton excavators. It can shred light vegetation, shrubs and trees up to 3 inches in diameter. It is available in widths of 50, 75 or 100 inches.
