About Gyro-Trac

Born Out Of Need, Refined In The Field

Gyro-Trac was born out of meeting an industry need and rising to unforgiving challenges! Brothers Daniel & Guy Gaudreault designed, developed and built the first motorized rotatory mulcher over 25 years ago for their forestry operations in Western Canada.

At a time when government push back and new environmental laws were being put in to effect on the land clearing and logging industry in Canada during the 1980’s, forestry as we know it was being squeezed by constant regulation. The expense to forest, clear land and run mining operations were mounting, severely crippling many companies.

The Gaudreault brothers, rather than go along with everyone else, forged into new territory with the invention of the first low ground pressure, self motorized mulching machine. True naturalist at heart, the brothers saw a need to protect and minimize the impact from the mining and power industries on the land and still preserve both their livelihood and the native beauty of the Canadian wilderness.

And Gyro-Trac Was Born…

Today, Gyro-Trac has numerous patents, manufactures several machines and again revolutionized the land clearing industry with the advent of the Saber-Tooth Cutter-head! However, it was the original Gyro-Trac that really set the stage for what was to come.

Low ground pressure equipment has been purposely designed to take the weight of machinery and disperse it over a large area. Think of snow shoes, but for machinery. This innovation allows our equipment to travel across terrain without damaging it.

Our equipment is made with efficiency in mind. That’s why our machines are lighter and more maneuverable than any other machines in class. Not only is our equipment easy to transport, they do it all! Your team doesn't need a bulldozer, a crane and a dump truck anymore, just a Gyro-Trac Mulcher will get the job done.

Gyro-Trac Machines weigh less than other machines and use less horsepower, which means they consume less fuel, saving you money. So our machines need to refuel less and can work longer, increasing productivity for you and your team.

…And The Biggest Benefit? An Environmentally Friendly By-Product…

Every Gyro-Trac owner likes to brag in their own way how our mulching machines and cutter-heads save them time and earn them more money. To us, one of the greatest benefits of using our mulchers has to do with the amazing reduction of huge volumes of trees and vegetation to environmentally desirable biomass.

Gyro-Trac’s low ground pressure, high-speed mulching machines will clear unwanted trees and underbrush in a safer, more environmentally friendly way. You can complete the job faster and unlike bulldozers that tear up soils, Gyro-Trac’s mulching machines leave soil structures intact, eliminating erosion and runoff pollution.

Feeder roots of neighboring trees are not disturbed, saving the “Keeper” trees from dying due to root damage, so the cost of replacing trees is eliminated. Gyro-Trac equipment also eliminates burning and the added cost of hauling, dumping, or chipping debris—some contractors have reported savings of over $2000 per day! Gyro-Trac machines efficiently mulch trees and stumps right to the ground, creating a park-like effect, leaving only a fine, highly desirable, nutrient-rich mulch behind.

Gyro-Trac is The Undisputed, Tree-Mulching Master Of The Woods.
