When it comes to large-scale mulching and land clearing, tracked carriers are the gold standard for performance, durability, and versatility. At Papé Machinery Construction & Forestry, we offer a curated selection of tracked carriers designed to tackle the most demanding forestry and vegetation management jobs across the Pacific Northwest and beyond, including Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, and Hawaii. Whether you’re clearing dense underbrush, managing right-of-way access, or preparing land for development, our tracked carriers deliver the traction, stability, and hydraulic power needed to get the job done efficiently.

Why Choose a Tracked Carrier?

Tracked carriers are purpose-built for forestry and land clearing, offering unmatched performance in rugged, remote, and uneven terrain. Here’s why they stand out:

Built for Tough Terrain

• Designed to operate on soft, swampy, or uneven ground

• Superior ground pressure distribution for better traction and stability

• Ideal for steep slopes and remote job sites

Serious Power for Serious Work

• High-horsepower engines, with some models reaching up to 475 HP

• Easily powers heavy-duty mulching heads and attachments

• Optimized for high-volume, high-efficiency clearing

Operator Comfort and Safety

• ROPS/FOPS-certified cabs for protection in hazardous environments

• Climate-controlled interiors and ergonomic controls

• Built for long hours in demanding conditions

Purpose-Built vs. Multi-Purpose

While compact track loaders with mulching attachments offer flexibility for smaller, lighter-duty jobs, tracked carriers are the better choice when:

• You need more horsepower (compact loaders typically max out around 120 HP)

• You’re working in dense vegetation or steep terrain

• You want maximum productivity with fewer limitations
