2023 - Barko 930B Mulcher

About this machine

This listing is for a used 2023 Barko 930B mulcher — a rubber-tired, self-propelled land clearing machine used to grind, shred, and process vegetation, brush, trees, and other biomass material directly in the field. Mulchers of this type are sometimes referred to as forestry mulchers or brush mulchers, and they are widely deployed in forestry management, right-of-way clearing, site preparation, and vegetation control operations. Barko is a well-established American manufacturer with a long history of building heavy forestry and land clearing equipment, including feller bunchers, loaders, and mulching machines, serving professional forestry, utility, and land management contractors.

This particular machine is described by the seller as low-hour and is offered with a Shearex HM-100SV2 mulching head, making it a complete, ready-to-work package. Power comes from a Cummins QSL 8.9-litre Tier 4 Final engine producing 320 horsepower at 2,200 RPM, paired with a variable displacement pump and motor for efficient hydraulic power management. The fuel tank holds 127 gallons (481 litres), and the DEF tank holds 10 gallons (38 litres), supporting extended field operations between refuelling stops.

The undercarriage is rubber-tired and equipped with hydraulic axles featuring differential lock, giving the machine improved traction across varied and uneven terrain. Travel is controlled via foot pedal-operated hydraulic wet disk brakes, and steering is managed through a left-hand joystick. A 30,000-pound hydraulic winch is included as an option, along with foot travel capability. Tyres are 67Lx34-26 Primex 20-ply, suited to the demands of heavy forestry and clearing work.

The certified operator's cab is equipped with air conditioning, a heater, AM/FM radio with CD player, and an MD4 7-inch touchscreen display for machine monitoring and control. Nine external LED lights provide 360-degree illumination around the cab, and an air knife windshield cleaning system helps maintain visibility in dusty or debris-heavy environments. A rear-view camera with monitor adds situational awareness to the rear of the machine. The Barko Telematic System is included with one year of free service. Additional cab and hydraulic amenities include an air compressor with filter and quick connect, a high-pressure filter on the auxiliary circuit, in-cab hydraulic pressure diagnostics, and a remote-mounted cooler with an auto-reversing fan.

The Shearex HM-100SV2 mulching head offers a 100-inch cutting width and carries 36 teeth on the rotor. Its optimal target diameter is 24 inches, making it well suited to medium and large-diameter vegetation. The head weighs approximately 5,095 pounds and is driven by two 110cc motors, operating at 2,300 RPM. Features include a bolt-on liner, hydraulic pushbar, front deflector, electronic controls, and a Barko bracket for mounting. A maintenance kit and a DeWalt grinder kit are included with the head. The mulching head is covered by a one-year/2,500-hour warranty. The machine is located in Florida, USA, and is priced at $388,995.
