ME-RFM1000-D
25 hp water-cooled diesel power, 500 m remote range and continuous operation.
MERI RFM Series
Remote Control Forestry Mulchers
Heavy-duty tracked machines for dense brush, forest understory and land reclamation. Select continuous diesel operation or battery-electric power while keeping the operator away from cutting hazards and difficult terrain.
Choose the power system
Two 1000 mm Forestry Mulchers
Both machines use remote control and a fixed-tooth mulching head. The diesel model prioritizes continuous field work; the electric model prioritizes low local emissions and battery operation.
ME-RFM1000-E
72 V LiFePO4 system, approximately 7 hours operation and water-cooled cutter motor.
Interchangeable front heads
Two Working Modes on Each Power Platform
Configure either power platform with a standard flail mowing head for routine grass and vegetation maintenance, or a fixed-tooth forestry mulching head for dense brush and woody material. Confirm the compatible head and connection specification with MERI before ordering.
ME-RFM1000-D · Diesel
Flail Mowing or Forestry Mulching
The diesel platform supports long shifts and quick refuelling with the selected front working assembly.
ME-RFM1000-E · Electric
Flail Mowing or Forestry Mulching
The battery-electric platform provides the same two work-mode choices with low local emissions and lower operating noise.

Power-system selection
Where Each Version Has the Advantage
Choose by shift length, access to charging, maintenance capacity, noise limits and local-emissions requirements.
ME-RFM1000-D · Diesel
Best for Long, Heavy-Duty Shifts
- Water-cooled diesel power supports extended continuous work.
- Fast refuelling suits remote sites without charging infrastructure.
- Mature powertrain for contractors familiar with diesel servicing.
- Plan for routine engine service, fuel supply, higher noise and local exhaust.
ME-RFM1000-E · Electric
Best for Low-Noise, Low-Maintenance Operation
- Battery-electric drive removes engine oil, fuel-filter and spark-plug service.
- Lower noise, vibration and local exhaust suit PV sites and work near occupied areas.
- Electric architecture supports future automation and control integration.
- Plan for higher initial cost, charging access and approximately seven hours per charge.
Application planning
Forestry and Land-Clearing Applications
Images below are application visualizations. They illustrate intended working environments and are not presented as customer case studies.
Dense Brush Clearing
Reduce heavy scrub and reclaim overgrown land while operating remotely.
Forest Understory
Manage vegetation under established trees with a tracked, compact platform.
Woody Material
A fixed-tooth rotor processes brush and branches under suitable site conditions.
Choose the Right Mulcher for the Site
Share vegetation type, typical branch diameter, slope, access width and daily working hours. MERI will compare the diesel and electric configurations for your project.
