Mulch Mule Trailer
Work Smarter with a Mulch Spreading Trailer
Moving and distributing material is labour-intensive work. Developed by landscapers for landscapers, the Mulch Mule moves mulch, soil, compost, gravel and other bulk materials used in landscaping, maintenance and construction, keeping your crew safer, happier and more productive. Its 15 cubic yard aluminum hopper and reversible live floor load a wheelbarrow in just 3 to 6 seconds.
Built for every season, the Mulch Mule handles everything from spring mulching and planting to hardscaping and fall leaf collection. Crews take on more projects, stay on schedule and cut per-job labour costs, with many owners seeing payback within the first year.

Why crews switch
Save Time, Material and Labour
Mulch in minutes, not hours. Owners report payback in about a year, roughly the cost of two full-time labourers, by finishing more jobs with fewer hands.
Save time
Take On More Projects
Load a wheelbarrow in 3 to 6 seconds and keep crews moving. Contractors report going from five jobs a week per crew to seven, eight or more.
Save material
Every Yard Counts
Metered, controlled discharge places material exactly where it is needed. Less waste, more ground covered and better margins on every bed.
Save labour
Happier, Safer Crews
No more shovelling by hand. Less heavy lifting and repetitive motion means fewer injuries, less fatigue and a team that stays.
Feature-packed
Engineered for Material Handling
Every Mulch Mule component is purpose-built for mulch, soil and aggregate, not adapted from a generic dump trailer.
Curbside Chute
A high-output, forward-facing conveyor sends material exactly where you want it, with the operator in view and the load balanced.
Rear Discharge
A heavy-duty tube tailgate with quick-dump rear discharge empties large quantities fast when the job calls for a pile.
Honda Engine
A 13 HP Honda iGX390 with remote start and function-activated throttle powers an efficient hydraulic drive.
Automatic Tarp
An Aero automatic tarp system with Monster Mesh cover protects the load on the road, with no manual tarping.
Conditioning Tine Bars
Direct-driven tine bars break up compacted material for smooth flow and consistent spreading.
Simple Controls
Clear, user-friendly controls put precise material handling at the operator's fingertips.
The heart of the Mulch Mule
Reversible Live Floor
A direct-drive, variable-speed belt-over-chain live floor moves material in both directions. Feed the curbside conveyor at a controlled rate, pull material back from the chute, or run it rearward for a quick dump, all without a tipping bed.

Versatile material handling
Not Just for Mulch
One machine for every material, all season long. Haul, transport and precisely place a wide range of landscape materials with fewer trips and less manual labour.
Mulch
Bark
Soil
Compost
Rock & Gravel
Sand
Leaves
Palletized Material
Spring, summer and fall
Built for Every Season
The Mulch Mule earns its keep all year. One trailer moves from spring bed installs to summer hardscaping and fall cleanup, so it works instead of sitting in the yard.
Spring
Mulching, planting, topsoil and compost
Summer
Hardscaping, gravel base and bedding sand
Fall
Leaf collection with the Billy Goat® kit
All year
General maintenance and palletized material
Who it is built for
Different Industries, Same Bottleneck
Shovels, wheelbarrows and tarps do not scale. With 15 cubic yards on board, one operator covers ground that used to take a relay crew, whether that is a landscape yard, a municipal garage or a campus grounds team.
Landscape Contractors
Turn a two-person wheelbarrow relay into a one-operator run for bed installs, mulch refresh, topsoil and fall leaf collection.
Hardscape & Paver
Place gravel base and bedding sand right where the screed starts, with less machine traffic over new pavers and turf.
Excavation & Drainage
Trench bedding, backfill and drainage stone in tight corridors, metered out under control instead of dumped in one pile.
Municipalities & Public Works
One trailer for median beds, streetscape planters and shoulder repair, shared between departments across the seasons.
Property Management & HOA
Multi-property routes on a single load, with no staging piles blocking drives and a site that looks finished at day's end.
Campus & Institutional Grounds
Add capacity without adding headcount, with contained placement near entrances, walkways and drop-off lanes.
Attachments & upgrades
Optional Equipment
Add remote operation, extra reach, leaf collection and contractor conveniences to suit the way your crew works.
Wireless Remote
Run key functions from a distance for more efficiency, precision and safety on every job.
Billy Goat® Leaf Kit
A powerful vacuum attachment that turns the Mulch Mule into a fall leaf collector.
Contractor Package
Factory-installed toolbox, tool and shovel holders, lighting, wheel chocks and more for high-demand crews.
Extension Conveyor
Mounts on the curbside chute to extend reach for precise placement deeper into beds.

With a dump trailer, we're able to do five jobs a week per crew. With the Mulch Mule, we're able to do upwards of seven, eight, nine jobs in the same week.
“
You're able to take 50% more material to the job site compared to a traditional dump trailer, and it just saves so much time in trips and fuel.
“
The Mulch Mule has significantly increased our efficiency, allowing us to complete jobs faster and with less labor. It's been a game-changer for our operations.
