Born Out Of Need, Refined In The Field
Gyro-Trac was born out of meeting an industry need and rising to unforgiving challenges! Brothers Daniel & Guy Gaudreault designed, developed and built the first motorized rotatory mulcher over 25 years ago for their forestry operations in Western Canada.
At a time when government push back and new environmental laws were being put in to effect on the land clearing and logging industry in Canada during the 1980’s, forestry as we know it was being squeezed by constant regulation. The expense to forest, clear land and run mining operations were mounting, severely crippling many companies.
The Gaudreault brothers, rather than go along with everyone else, forged into new territory with the invention of the first low ground pressure, self motorized mulching machine. True naturalist at heart, the brothers saw a need to protect and minimize the impact from the mining and power industries on the land and still preserve both their livelihood and the native beauty of the Canadian wilderness.
