The invention relates to the technical field of mulch residue recycling by agricultural machinery, in particular to a mulch recycler comprising a frame. The mulch recycler is characterized in that a hanging rack and a gearbox are disposed at the front end of the frame; a lifting grid fork unit is arranged below the rear of the frame and comprises lifting grid forks, compression springs and forming blocks; the rear ends of the lifting grid forks are hinged to the frame; the lifting grid forks are connected with the frame though the compression springs; a pressing unit is further disposed below the front of the frame; a tapered picking and reeling unit comprises a taper roller sleeve; lifting spikes are embedded in the taper roller sleeve; a moving shaft handle is sleeved with one end of the taper roller sleeve; a power transmission shaft is sleeved with the other end of the taper roller sleeve through a pin; a pulley is mounted on the power transmission shaft; the pressing unit comprises pressing wheels and pressing rods; a collecting grid is further arranged below the rear of the frame. The mulch recycler is simple in structure, low in cost, less prone to blockage, high in reliability, high in recycling rate, and high in operating efficiency.
