    Great idea to use a company with the forestry mulcher. Amazing amount of work to get done so quickly. Definitely worth the investment. Your time is worth the cost!

    Had a young man come out for 3 days last year. The most amazing use of man and machine I ever did to reclaimed many acres of over grown brush and cedar trees. Now I’m pasturing bacon on the cleared forest and left the hickories to mature. My face hurt for days I was smiling so hard!!!

    i'm amazed! growing up on an 80 acre farm that we had to clear fence rows the same way you were, I wish we'd had something like this back in the 1970's

    • @denisewilson8367
      @denisewilson8367 Рік тому +14

      Yeah me too! In the early 60's there was only chainsaws to cut everything by hand with a lot of manual labor.
      The same for clearing /picking rocks out of the crop fields, by hand. And most were dumped in the fence rows along the fields. Now days they have a piece of equipment that goes on your skid steer to pick up rock. It rotates to shake out the dirt so you can just get the rocks.

    Hey man, wanna give you props!! First video of yours I watched. I am southern, so I knew you were city folk, and I was all skeptical, and even laughed a bit..Until i realized that you are 100% honest, and not trying to portray something you’re not. You are learning and admitting mistakes and skill shortfalls..that’s how one learns!! Freaking amazing content and good luck with the projects with your wonderful family!!!!

    It’s amazing how much 1 machine can do in a day and you didn’t even break out in a sweat , a lot of people think it’s expensive to hire machinery but if you break it down in time saved you can move onto other projects instead of concentrating on one project for twelve months. Money well spent.

    I did this when i bought 20 acres and built my home in NC…it was 2800 for 1.5 days of work, but i believe it saved me about 40 days of labor, the land was so overgrown and unmanaged…covered in poison ivy…once he got the trails in, i could get my equipment in and ive been cutting trees down, dragging brush…for about 2 years…still…tons more wildlife though…more turkeys, more deer…

    A forestry mulcher is a perfect machine to open an area and establish/reestablish the boudries. Or clear land to put in production as pasture or an area to build on. Great choice.

    A mini excavator with a quick detach system and auxiliary hydraulic connection (most come with that), you can put a mulcher head on it and do close to the same thing you just did here. Then of course you can take the mulcher off and use your buckets. Also, you can put things like augers on the excavator to dig fence post holes, cutter decks for bush hogging etc. Just some tips here to increase your knowledge of equipment since you said you are learning it.👍🏻

    BACKDRAGGING is the term used when he backs the machine up to regrind what was just cut. The more backdragging the smoother the outcome. Our experience has shown that it takes about two years for all the mulch that is left behind to deteriorate. We’ve had a forestry mulcher at our place several times and waiting for drier weather for a return visit. Tim in northern TN

  • @gregbraschke
    @gregbraschke Рік тому +1

    I bought a forestry mulcher when first moved to a farm, fence lines grown over. Thick brush, 12” diameter trees, prickly pear cactus, mulched it all. A year later was some of the best native grass on the place, did not pick up any debris caused by the mulcher. But that would be your call. Also bought a skid loader and other attachments, it’s unbelievable what you can do with one of those machines.

  • @Ashton60578
    @Ashton60578 Рік тому +1

    That equipment is amazing. Glad you were able to hire him to come out and clear things for you. Now you can use your mower to keep things in check. Now to get that fence electrified. You may need to run another line near the bottom to keep those little piggies in. "I don't trust no pig"..... LOL Take care.

I've been around the forestry industry my whole life and even I had no idea they had a small machine that could do this. I wish I knew how to contact his company because we live very close to you guys and I bet he services my neighborhood too. You guys truly do have a brand new property now. So many new exciting videos we'll see of all the new things you'll do with your cleared land. One of my very favorite videos of all time!❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉👍
