After completing my first harvest in FS25 (yes, I really do play it!), I started looking for a UK-style mulcher.
I got in touch with Daubs6930, who had created one for FS19. He kindly gave me permission to completely remake his version for FS25 — and here it is.

Mulchers are often overlooked in FS25, as many players don’t realize their importance.
Mulching is a vital step in field preparation that improves soil health and boosts crop yields. By breaking down crop residue, mulching helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and enhance nutrient levels. In Farming Simulator, proper mulching provides a 2.5% yield bonus for your next harvest.
For most stubble-leaving crops — such as wheat, barley, oats, sorghum, sunflowers, soybeans, and corn — mulching should be done after harvesting but before cultivating. Running a mulcher over the stubble incorporates it back into the soil, improving field quality for the next planting season.
