I am renting a Caterpillar Forestry Mulcher is coming weekend. Hope to clear lots of pines. Great video.

[@kylemosso271]

What size pine trees?? And let me know how it goes!

[@iamthemoss]

@@kylemosso271 most of mine are under 10 inches. This land had been wild for 30+ years, the trees are so dense many are not healthy. I've taken out many with an excavator.

@@kylemosso271 One day down, the CAT dealer supplied me with a CAT 299D3 Mulcher with tree brace. It has carbide teeth. This is my first time using a forestry mulcher. I am pretty impressed, using mostly for pine trees under 10 inches and small hardwoods under 4 inches. I had one jam today, a piece of wood hung in the shredder, my fault, took me an hour to cut out the piece with a saws all. I do not like the CAT lift arm lock, it came loose while I was working and it got bent to hell. The cab is nice with climate control.

One more thing, it has that ballistic door and it gets covered in dust and is somewhat blinding in the sunlight.

[@kylemosso271]

That’s always a struggle for us, it gets really dusty and hard to see with the sun

[@feeltheforce10]

What about the tree stumps ? How did you remove them ?

[@blairmanning5629]

How long before grass came in? Did you plant seed? Did you have to rake mulch away?

[@kylemosso271]

About 2 months the grass grew, no we didn’t plant grass seed, and no it didn’t have to be raked

[@tsdelosa]

You really moved some horses there! Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[@richardwilliams5754]

Approximately how much land was cleared in how much time? Getting quotes soon to have similar land cleared with a mulcher.

[@kylemosso271]

I would say if the if the land is similar to the one in this video maybe 2 - 3 acres a day

[@kennethfowler5220]

How long did it take for your grass to come in? I was wondering if you seeded or sprayed any herbicides to keep the brush and shrubs away

[@kylemosso271]

I would just brush hog once a yearor spray and that would keep it away
