Machine Devours Trees in Seconds

And near houses. I guess that is more efficient, maybe safer, and definitely much faster than using bucket trucks to trim the limbs and top the trees.

For completely clearing, being able to take the trees down, semi-mulch them and grind the stumps all with the same piece of equipment is very efficient.

I planted a couple of thousand of trees on our farm and let hundreds volunteer without human intervention but there are times when we've needed to clear areas or thin the trees. Having access to an excavator mulcher would be handy.

In our plans for next fall is to thin a stand of trees to make space for more pasture. We thinned that area out 33 years ago, but smaller trees have volunteered and some of the larger trees are too crowded now. It will take a week or two for two guys with chain saws and a tractor to cut the trees and drag them out. Then we'll have to hire a stump grinder to take the stumps down so we can keep it mowed. That excavator mulcher could knock the job out in a day!
