Product Description

 

The Mulch Mate DS1000 is the first product you can attach to the landscape body truck you already own. With 
our Patented design you can fill your truck with mulch and remove it directly into a wheelbarrow with the use 
of a simple joystick, eliminating the back-breaking job of shoveling for hours. The unique tarp system pulls 
mulch into the unit where it gets conditioned by the augers before being transported by the cross conveyor to 
wheelbarrows, containers, or straight onto the ground. It also allows you to separate new clean mulch from any 
debris that you need to reload in your truck for disposal. Another unique design of the DS1000 is the dual 
pivoting hinge which allows you to swing the unit around to the side of your truck, lock it in place, then raise 
your dump bed to empty the contents. The hinge also allows you to use and load your truck as you normally 
would without having to remove the Mulch Mate unit.
