Those mulchers are awesome. I bought a 30 acre cutover grown up for 10 years. ( as thick as dog fur. lol. 5,000$ and it’s a new place. Flagged all the trees to save.

[@wilshawlynnstevens2980]

We hired a forest mulcher for about $200/hour in Eastern Oklahoma. It took 3 days to do the mulching on our rocky terrain. There were so many rocks that he kept breaking off the teeth but praise God he was willing to finish the job because of our situation being so challenging up here. It is very expensive but worth it if you can afford the cost.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Awesome! Glad you got yours cleared out. Josh was certainly glad that I didn't have any rocks. He told me a set of the regular teeth cost $1500. A set of carbide teeth that can handle rocks are $5000.

[@enwinn]

I had a guy come in with an ASV RT-120 with FAE mulching head to clear my entirely wooded, entirely overgrown East Texas 14 acre parcel about a year and a half ago because it was so bad I couldn't see the land well enough to figure out where to put the house, barn, and sawmill shed. Immense improvement. Then I bought a Maschio Giraffa XL offset flaw mower for my tractor to keep it cleaned up over the coming years. My property had both types of vines, with a bunch down near my creek that were much larger than the large one in your video.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

I certainly love the results. It will make it a ton easier for quickly develop the rest of it.

[@Andy-le8xy]

Good morning Eric, just a suggestion regarding the near future irrigation. Consider a small pond even in the short term some child sized plastic pools and a "Gravity Pump" which you can easily find on You Tube. The plastic pools would be temporary until you can build one or two small ponds to fit your needs. The gravity pump on average can pump steady from the pool or pond about 300 gallons every 12 to 24 hours filling up a water trough or tank. With your well too the pool or pond(s) and the gravity pump this can be all automatic. You already have solar power and batteries for you well pump. You are good to go!!

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Good morning. I thought about it briefly in the past.

[@NehemiahRodgers]

A pond is really good, but don’t let the beavers come. We have a 2 acre pond and we pump water out of it, but a beaver came and ate your 4,000 strawberries and other things, thankfully it left.

[@malloryhuffstickler777]

Oh my gosh my hubby would love this thing!

[@CountryLivingExperience]

It’s a ton of fun!

[@edkruzel]

I'm doing the same thing and also in east Texas. North side of Pineland here.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Cool

[@grantanding5767]

Those spiky vines are called greenbrier vines, and have a root ball the size of a basket ball, we use a mini backhoe to dig them up big pain in the butt

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Thank you. They are a pain and they are everywhere

[@MANVASANAI-np3xt]

👌👌👌

[@NehemiahRodgers]

We were going to clear our property and the quote was about $20,000 for 5 of our acres But we rented an excavator and a skid steer And it was a lot more fun doing one area ourselves. But paying $20,000 would have taken the fun.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

😮😮😮 20k is insane. Glad you did it yourself

[@justinfowler2857]

These are used to clear trees along the railroad right of way as well.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

They are a great tool

[@clarencewiles963]

On going to do list. Looking good 😌

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Thanks

[@amsohn1]

Wowzers, looks like fun and wow does ot work fast... great job. Blessings❤

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Thanks. It was a blast driving that thing.

[@amsohn1]

@@CountryLivingExperience I bet! When I was around 17, I got to drive a Big A, at the time it was one of the biggest machines for spreading fertilizer... you got in with a 16" ladder to get to the steps to get into the cab... it was a fun time. Blessings

[@CountryLivingExperience]

That's awesome!

[@dmark6699]

Good to get rid of the over growth to lower fire risk.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Fire risk is a great point

[@brockdelorenzo7505]

I am trying to clear some land in Kentucky and the quotes for somebody coming out with a mulcher were absolutely ridiculous. Compared to a bulldozer.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Bulldozer is a good option

[@tokencivilian8507]

Buck 60 an hour, or 1280 a day seems like a fair price considering how much a machine like that can do. What did you say, 5 acres in a day and a half? So 1920 for 5 acres, under 400 an acre. As a point of reference, the volunteer trail crew can clear about 1/2 mile of trail 6' wide here in the wet northwest with 1 brush saw and a couple or 3 on rake and toss duty, so about 15,800 square feet, just over a 1/3 acre. And that's just cut and toss the brush, not grind it up. IDK, at that price and productivity point vs the effort with a chain saw, powered brush saw (similar to a Stihl FS 251 bicycle handle saw w. a saw blade head which is what we have on the volunteer crew) and power pole saw, seems like a good deal to hire that done, even if having to pay full rate vs the friends and family rate. Looks great.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Thank you. Yes, I am so happy with the results. Gives me a fresh starting point. I have heard that forestry mulching can cost up to $250/hr in other states. Not sure how it is up by you.

[@tokencivilian8507]

Well, even at 250, it would be a fair deal, IMO, given how much can be done per hour. That's still only $600 / acre. Me, personally, I don't hesitate to go rent the proper tools I need here at the home, be that a tiller, power rake, appliance sized hand truck, etc when I have a job that needs them. IMO, it's money well spent to save my back, and time, to 'get er done' on the weekend. I'm sure my view may change as I retire and have more time and less money than I do now when working.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

@@tokencivilian8507 I agree.

[@zannaB60]

How much would something like this cost? Just a ballpark figure, I am thinking of buying land, and it would help me to know how much it will cost me to clear it.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

In Texas in my area, it is about $170 per hour. We did 4 acres in 13 hours.

[@zannaB60]

Thanks for the info.@@CountryLivingExperience

[@alanbutler7712]

Those thorny vines my wife calls 'Satan spawn'. At their base/root is a bulb. If you don't remove that bulb, they will continue to come back forever! Yuck!!

[@sandradelvecchio6894]

Yeah I’m wondering about all the roots they aren’t getting out. How do you plant in that? You’ll still have to be cutting that back and cutting that back and then a lot of times you’re only making the roots angry and they go outward

[@CountryLivingExperience]

They are from the devil for sure
