I want one...

This looks like exactly what I could use. I found guys to hire with forestry mowers but they run slow and are very expensive, I could have one of these units paid off for what I've spent on clearing with a forestry mower.

Freight is the killer, they estimated $1100 to get it to Maine, there aren't any dealers up here yet.

I smell ROAD TRIP.

I'm sure you could make a holiday out of it. Visit a couple of rancher friends along the way.

Maybe you could look into being a dealer for your area ?

I can see where that would work good on these thick cedar thickets,I like the fact it has a cutter and grapple.................good luck

Every time I see a tree in the bush it is surrounded by big frigging rocks.

Why not just push those little trees out with the loader. It looks like a time consuming toy to me. With the bigger trees you still have the stump to deal with.

The machine has it's limits, (like 10" trees), but the idea is to cut at or just below ground level so you don't have a stump and can mow over it. They told me it does stand up to rocks pretty well, those teeth are replaceable and can be rotated 4 times (carbide).

I like the results of the forestry mowers better because they mulch everything in place, but that's extremely expensive machinery and uses a lot of fuel to run.

As I seek out more grazing land, my best opportunities are the fields that have been negleted.

I'd really like it for clearing existing or new fencelines in our river hills. The silver willow and poplar regrowth is 4-6' only 2 or 3 years after clearing, and some places you just can't fence in a way to mobgraze those areas. Mobgrazing a few hundred yearlings is the cheapest brush control I know of, but not always an option.
