Forestry Mulching Gone Wild Part 1 - Shocking Footage!

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

Amazing to see how quickly and efficiently this was

[@BIGALTX]

All in all, he was here about three hours. Took down about a dozen trees, and mulched a lot of dead limbs that were already on the ground. Well worth the money.

That’s what I want for Christmas! This was awesome to watch. Alan , is there a reason you didn’t keep the wood for firewood? Tfs it with us.

[@BIGALTX]

He mulched up all the little stuff… The tops of the trees. He left the big trunks. Some of the trunks are 20-30 feet long. I will cut them up in about 8 foot pieces and save them for firewood. But… I have so many of them already stacked up. I just don’t need that much firewood 🙁

I had one of those come clear for me last year and was amazed- just pulverized everything!

[@BIGALTX]

One of the greatest inventions in a long time. They work miracles on land that is unmanageable.

[@davidward1259]

Those are awesome tools for land clearing!

[@BIGALTX]

Yes they are!

[@stmcgarret]

Hoping to get this done on my property.

[@BIGALTX]

Hope so too. You will love the results 😊

[@randyholmes9957]

What brand cutter head is that?

[@BIGALTX]

I believe it is a Fecon.

[@garyjohn316]

We had that done, so we could put up our half mile north fence.

[@BIGALTX]

Beats the heck out of working for days with a chainsaw, right? 😊

[@Not_So_Weird_in_Austin]

Nice work. It gives added emphasis to stay back 300 feet for safety...

[@BIGALTX]

Yes it does!

[@ClickinChicken]

I have to pull a widow maker branch down (more like fall and werck my car maker-down). So I can use my driveway. ha Anyway, that's cool how it does everything, branches even undesired logs.

[@BIGALTX]

I’ve never regretted having him work on my property.

[@MrMrm1994]

Why not cut down with a chain saw and keep the oaks for fire wood?

[@BIGALTX]

Of all these trees he cut down, he only mulched the tops of them. He left the trunks of the trees intact. Some are 20 to 30 feet long. I will cut them up and stack them for firewood. However… I have got so many already stacked up that I don’t know when I would get around to making firewood out of them. I just don’t need that much firewood. I have so many dead and dying trees that I am just overwhelmed with wood.

I know fhat sound well. We had one of those beasts at our land last year to clear trees for electric to come in. It works wonderful woth dead trees (we did not have many of those) and some love trees. We found the oaks and yupon trees will actually regrow new baby trees out of their root system. Thankfully they are small enough that we can hand clip them or use or DR walking brush hog to keep them mowed down...especially the yupon trees. I REALLY do not like those trees.

[@BIGALTX]

Obviously, you see the value in hiring one of these machines too 😊

[@oleman490]

amazing the tools of the trade these days;;;lol;;;pooor tree didn't have a chance;;;lol;;;making compost in place;;;who woulda thunk;;;lol;;;good one;;;;

[@BIGALTX]

And all the wood chips that are left are really good for the surrounding soil and trees.

[@SALTYDEPLORABLEGARBAGE]

Here I am beating rotting trees to reduce them with a sledge hammer once a year around my place.

[@BIGALTX]

This process sure does beat that… Hands-down 😊
