The operator is clearing these trees faster than many can cut an overgrown lawn ! Fascinating !!!

[@texasprepper2]

I really enjoyed watching him do this. Even though I was spending $200 an hour 🙁

[@groundpoundersforestrymulching]

Thank you for shining a light on the industry I am in. This video is very accurate in a lot of ways, especially returning nutrients back to the soil. A lot of people do not know what forestry mulching even is. That is a very skilled operator. I always love how clean it looks after mulching. So glad you made this video! Thanks!

[@texasprepper2]

[@FreeAmerican-mm2my]

I had several standing trees that had been dead for years. I waited until the weather was like and slowly started burning them down. I had areas overgrown like this and I put hogs on them. The hogs opened it up and I used an excavator with a thumb to finish the job and pile logs up for burning. I enjoy your videos and I love seeing land cleared. Thanks

[@texasprepper2]

I had hogs years ago, but had them in a pen. I would love to put them out on that pasture. I have heard they do a lot for the land. Thanks for watching!

Very good operator and good content on the drum mulcher. The disk mulcher is also a remarkable mulcher. Most do not even have a clue how powerful huydrlic equipment is.

Very true 👍

[@JohnnyRose-xd6rs]

Delivered a nice even cut, has the super tight turning ability kzbin.infoUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend I was looking for, and is just a blast to drive. It takes a little bit to get used to driving one after driving a normal tractor style, but once you've got it, you've got it. If you're cutting lines, you have to be careful spinning the mower around or the back tire will dig a bare spot. Just take it nice and slow during the turn and then it's back to full throttle across the yard!

We agree!

That is one very skilled operator and such a well thought out tecnique to keep the whole process so efficient way he did the job. Loved the swapping out the cutter when dull and keeping the job quick and smooth without wasting any of your time or his time. By the way you are very good at narration. I think somebody else mention it too in the comments and they were right. I remember some of those African wildlife shows and you do sound like the man who did them. It's both the great voice have for it and the way you tell us what is going on that is very impressive. Anyway great video. 😎👍

[@catherinegardner5722]

Looks good short term. Next year all those samplings will grow back. The roots are still healthy and will come back even more dense unless sprayed.

[@texasprepper2]

I think I sprayed one time, and, of course, keep it mowed. That has pretty much discouraged almost all regrowth, except on the edge of the creek bank that I can’t get to with the mower. 99% of it is not coming back. But there’s always that little dab that will.

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

I once considered setting a young friend up into his own business doing just this, but the ongoing machine maintenance costs made me think twice. Wicked expensive. I like how they switch cutter heads to resharpen cutter tines before they wear beyond being sharpened and need replacing. That one act alone probably saves them thousand$.

[@texasprepper2]

It is VERY expensive to get into, and to keep up the machines... for sure

[@Trythis837]

If I could find guys that would show up with two cimaf heads and mulch only with sharp cutters I’d hire them around the clock. That is the most honest customer service oriented contractor I’ve ever seen. Sharpening those knives only costs them money in hourly work.

[@redneckroughneck1684]

Man I just want to be able to afford one mulcher lol must be nice to be able to have a spare one. I’d have to settle for having spare blades to swap out with a good impact and then sharpen blades when I got back to the shop so I could continue the cycle them out. It’s honestly how I used to run my lawn business. Carry good sharp blades and swap out when you feel necessary.

[@hhazelhoff1363]

What is a average daily rate, or hourly rate for this this on a very similar property. Let me know thx

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

[@texasprepper2]

I hope so too. Give them a call! And thanks for the kind words :)

[@watchthe1369]

The big machines, compared to the skid steers with heads on them, is that the big ones do not have to pause. They can still do masive work quickly compared to a chainsaw, winch, and grinder operation and do it safer though. They just fall in the gap between taking down tree plantations and arborists trimming trees. The main diference in getting the job done is time and saftey.

[@texasprepper2]

True… The big machines can really go fast through a lot of big stuff.

Pretty sure that was an eastern red cedar (aromatic, like they use in cedar chests). Western cedar is more brown and softer and is what most fence pickets for privacy fence is made from. Eastern logs have value if they are solid and not pithy.

This video is no doubt impressive. I own a CTL with mulch head for my ranch and have operated one for several years. Small trees and brush are my limit, big oak trees is another level.

@@texasprepper2 The only draw back with this process is the stumps, even when flush with the ground, the stumps prevent land use for things like tilling. I am on only 2.7 acres and about 90% was wooded. Erosion has made a few stumps proud, but just being in the ground is major problem...

Way too many factors to be able to answer that. They charge about $200 an hour. If they are doing small brush and very small trees, they can get a lot done in a few hours. If they’re doing huge trees and mulching everything completely, then they will spend a lot more time on your property. But, around $200 an hour is the going rate I think. Most people will come out and do a free estimate if you can find someone in your area.

Pro Tip: You can teach a monkey too much in 15 minutes, the left joystick controls the track and the right controls the loader arm. The real issue is that typically customers end up wanting to do something with their land like plant crops/ garden, dig a well, dig a pond, or cut a foundation for a barn, shop, house, swimming pool or garage. Non of this can be accomplished without removing the root ball and horizontal root structure of the tree. It's just easier to bring in an a decent sized excavator and shove the trees over (which brings up the rootball). Then any of the hardwoods can be sold to a Mill to recoup customer money, rather than leaving it laying all over the ground.

Sure. This is not the way to clear land. If any type of excavation or plowing or planting will be done on the land afterwards.

That would be a great piece of equipment to use on a deer hunting property

[@texasprepper2]

Absolutely! 👍🏻

He sure is wasting some good lumber and firewood but that is an impressive machine.

[@texasprepper2]

Most will be be firewood Even the dead trees make good firewood

[@madebysteve1738]

that machine only weighs about 11K lbs with cutter its about 15K

[@bjkearns2]

Ya I heard him mention 30,000lbs and was thinking no way. Now there are munchers that weigh in excess of 30,000lbs. Tigercat and Weiler make some massive mulchers.

[@texasprepper2]

May be... I thought he told me 30K but may be wrong... thanks!

[@Quarterpounderspatch]

@@texasprepper2 yes 15k is correct. I have two of these machines and cutter heads

[@texasprepper2]

@@Quarterpounderspatch Good to know.. I'll see if I can edit that out of the video, thanks!

These machines would have to run on basically level ground.

[@texasprepper2]

Ha ha ha, nope… I don’t think there is a level spot on my place. He was going up and down hills and into creek beds, and everything else. A skid steer will go just about anywhere.

[@josephbyler4844]

I've seen land cleared by a machine like that, that a lot of people about couldn't walk on. There's not many places a skid loader on tracks can't go.

[@lonniebeaty301]

Can I come and cut them up? I need firewood ...

[@texasprepper2]

Me and my 2 sons in law are using the leftovers for firewood 👍😎
