In the early 2000s, John Gallard was frustrated with underpowered machines that couldn’t keep up with the scale of pruning and orchard removal. After experimenting with one of the first forestry mulchers in Australian horticulture, he discovered its power to clear whole orchards while recycling biomass back into the soil. That bold move reshaped the way orchards were redeveloped in the Riverland — and it began Gallard Group’s long history with FAE mulchers.

Gallard has supplied FAE mulchers nationwide, equipping growers to process everything from their seasonal prunings to full plantation removals. With their unmatched reliability and heavy-duty design, FAE remains the brand we count on for sustainable orchard and vegetation works.
