Our machines recycle all material (that’s right, all of it), leaving a nutrient rich mulch bed which allows for healthy regrowth and helps to combat erosion & unwanted or invasive vegetation.

There are no chemicals, piles , burn offs or taking byproduct away when using Protrax services.

  • Great question, and the answer is: because sometimes cheapest isn’t best.

    Like any trade, there are different tools & equipment for varying job types and desired outcomes.

    There are many things that contribute to productivity & how efficiently a job is completed.

    Some variables in machines and attachments to consider include:

    •Power (HP) and size

    •Flow type

    •Abilities for type & size of vegetation

    •Terrain access abilities

    •Specialised machinery

  • You can! If that’s what the job calls for.

    Our services don’t replace the need for tree loppers, our scope of works is very different.

    A tree lopper’s expertise is always required for removal of larger or singular trees.

    However, if you are looking for a quick solution to removing bulk forestry, invasive species or unwanted growth over a larger area, our machines are the most productive option.

  • Unfortunately there is no magic number.

    Every piece of land is vastly different.

    Some variables that impact productivity include:

    • Machine size and type used

    • Attachment type used

    • Terrain (rocky, sloped, steep, undulating, flat etc)

    • The vegetation type

    • Vegetation thickness

    • Area size

    • Obstacles and access

    • Your objectives for your land (e.g are you wanting a nicely groomed finish with fine mulch that can be driven over, used for seeding or pasture,
      or are you happy for a coarse finish to achieve a wider footprint)

    If you would like an assessment of how long your job might take, please contact us with some photos and size of the area and we will tailor an estimate for you.

  • At Protrax, everything we do is with the intention of positively impacting our local environment. We combine advanced equipment, expert techniques, and sustainable practices to deliver high-quality vegetation management solutions.
