This CMI C550 is a mulcher — sometimes called a forestry mulcher or land-clearing mulcher — a heavy-duty steel-track machine built to grind vegetation, brush, stumps, and timber into mulch across forestry, land-clearing, right-of-way maintenance, and site-preparation applications. CMI Mulching is a recognised manufacturer of purpose-built mulching machines serving forestry and vegetation-management industries across North America.
This 2019 machine was comprehensively refurbished by CMI Mulching in June 2023, with over 400 man-hours of work completed. At the time of the rebuild, the machine had accumulated approximately 6,000 hours; following the refurbishment, a new engine was fitted and currently shows 1,542 hours. The machine is paired with an FAE 500/U-250 mulching attachment and carries serial number GBJ1704.
The engine is a Cat C15 rated at 550 horsepower, operating under Tier 3 emissions standards with no DEF system required. The engine is covered by a manufacturer warranty valid until May 2026, with the option to extend that coverage. The undercarriage is entirely new, built to ITM D6N specification, and the final drives are new units matching the specification used on 2024 CMI 500 machines. New Lexan windows have been fitted throughout the cab.
The cutter system is driven by two new 165 cc cutter head pumps delivering a combined 191 gallons per minute (726 litres per minute) at 2,200 rpm. The FAE cutter head itself runs on 200 cc Rexroth hydraulic motors. Carbide tooling is fitted in a C3-style configuration. The machine is located at ROWMEC in Conroe, Texas, and is described as ready for immediate work. Financing options are available on this unit, priced at $420,000.
