Frequently Asked Questions - Mulch Mate DS1000

---

Yes, American Made!  We are a locally owned and operated Landscape equipment company in Central Maryland.  

With a touch of the joystick you can load a wheelbarrow in in about 3 seconds.  You can unload 10 yards in under 10 minutes. There is nothing faster on the market today.

Mulch Mate is All-Electric powered by 2-12 volt Marine grade batteries and can charge right from your own truck with the optional truck charging harness.

NO. Most dump trailers are too low to allow a wheelbarrow to fit under the Mulch Mate and the axles are not positioned properly to give you the proper tongue weight.

BUT, we now offer the DMT Trailer which is specifically designed to take care of those issues. Check it out on the DMT page.

No,  you still have full use of your Truck. MulchMate's Dual Pivot Hinge allows you to swing unit for full access to truck bed.

  This picture pretty much says it all. We have many units set up on Hook-Lift and Switch-N-Go type truck setups. You just have to add a leg under the container for it to sit on to keep the Mulch Mate off the ground. This setup works extremely well and more companies seem to be going this way. 

Absolutely, you can dispense mulch, stone, topsoil and compost with the simple press of a joystick. Everything this dispensed in a very clean and controlled fashion.

YES, We have partnered with Switch-N-Go to create containers for us that will work perfectly with SNG. Containers will also come with a side door for easy access. 

The majority of our customers install themselves or have a local up-fitter install it for them. We do offer installation at our facility in Maryland as well.

Yes.  Filling top-dressers can be a real pain but with Mulch Mate you can just press a joystick. No more have guys jumping in and out of the back of the truck. 

You can't believe how much until you hear the whole story as well as hear from some of our customers. We have one customer that calls it "A Money Making Monster".

We literally have sold them to "one man companies" to the second largest landscape company in the country. It can literally help every company in the country.

A: No dump bed is required. Mulch Mate uses a Military Grade tarp material and a 20,000 pound drive system to pull the mulch without ever using a dump bed.

75% of injuries come from jumping in and out of trucksall day. With Mulch Mate your people stay on the ground loading wheelbarrows with the push of a joystick, instead of shoveling and jumping.

A:  Mulch Mate installs with only a few hand tools and a drill. First remove the doors on the back of your truck. Lift the unit and align it with the back of your truck. Mark and drill the hole locations for the hinge and install the supplied bolts. Locate the latch plates on the passenger side with the hangers, mark and drill holes and install bolts.

Since there is no gas and no oil needed, the amount of maintenance needed is minimum. Keeping your unit clean  is the biggest part of maintenance. A little cleaning goes a long way.

Come see us!  We will be in booth number 24099 indoors and we will have a 1000 sqft booth outside where you can use Mulch Mate first hand.

We'll see you at the GIE Expo on Oct 16-18, 2019.  

Green Industry and Equipment Expo in Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville KY.  

Your bed must be in good enough condition that it's not falling apart but a few rusty spots can be covered with our UHMW Plastic Sheets. The UHMW will cover any holes and rust and will actually allow the mulch to slide 40% easier then even a new truck bed. We have a complete kit to allow you to install in about an hour.

3 men , 3 wheelbarrows, moving mulch 60 feet away takes only 12 minutes. Doing it by hand took 32 minutes. 

What can you do with the extra time?

Yes, there are several companies that sell hitch extensions for just such uses. Mulch Mate is only 30 inches so an extension is no problem at all.

The Mulch Mate currently is designed to fit the Standard 96 inch hard side landscape body.Mulch Mate can be installed on 102 inch bodies with moderate modifications to the truck bed. Stake body trucks can can accept the Mulch Mate with the optional hitch mount.

Everyone wants to wait until Spring to order their Mulch Mate. So yes, if you don't at least pre-order your unit and wait until the last minute, you may not be able to get one in time. DON'T WAIT. A deposit is all it takes to put your name on one.

Let's just say we are working on some new ideas that will blow your mind.
