Efficiency Meets Flexibility
The MTG TailGator® is built to streamline operations and reduce downtime. Its continuous-feed system keeps material moving without interruptions, reducing the need for extra hands and time-consuming reloads. Crews can focus on work and complete projects faster.
Built for real-world flexibility, the TailGator® adapts to a variety of applications, whether that’s commercial mulch and soil delivery or municipal winter deicing, all with minimal downtime. For smaller or hard-to-reach areas, the Drop Chute attachment enables direct, mess-free refilling of wheelbarrows or top dressing machines, right from the back of the truck.
For seasonal maintenance, multi-acre soil and mulch application, and more, the TailGator® helps crews cover more ground.
