The Moment That Changed Everything: How Reversing a Mulcher Sparked a Revolution

Where do revolutionary ideas come from? For Gyro-Trac, it started by going in reverse.

In this exclusive behind-the-scenes episode, we go back nearly a decade to the “aha!” moment that redefined how wood should be processed.

While watching a mulching machine operate in reverse, Gyro-Trac’s founder saw something no one else did — a smarter, cleaner, and more efficient way to move material. That simple observation led to the creation of the twin-drum “peeling” system, a breakthrough that eliminates clutches and belts and replaces them with a direct-drive hydraulic design built for power and precision.

Here’s what you’ll discover in the video:

- The Origin Story: The exact moment the twin-drum concept was born.
- Challenging the Status Quo: Why “peeling” beats traditional chipping.
- The Market Shift: How Gyro-Trac is transforming the wood chipper industry.
- The new 19-inch, under-10,000 lb model was developed directly from feedback from TCI EXPO attendees, customers, and tree care pros in the field — real insights from real users who know what matters most.

This isn’t just a product story — it’s a story about innovation, persistence, and flipping convention on its head.
