    Great idea to use a company with the forestry mulcher. Amazing amount of work to get done so quickly. Definitely worth the investment. Your time is worth the cost!

    Had a young man come out for 3 days last year. The most amazing use of man and machine I ever did to reclaimed many acres of over grown brush and cedar trees. Now I’m pasturing bacon on the cleared forest and left the hickories to mature. My face hurt for days I was smiling so hard!!!

    Jason, I'm 75 yo & never even heard of a forestry mulcher, much less got to watch one in action. Your property is beautiful.

    I did this when i bought 20 acres and built my home in NC…it was 2800 for 1.5 days of work, but i believe it saved me about 40 days of labor, the land was so overgrown and unmanaged…covered in poison ivy…once he got the trails in, i could get my equipment in and ive been cutting trees down, dragging brush…for about 2 years…still…tons more wildlife though…more turkeys, more deer…

    i'm amazed! growing up on an 80 acre farm that we had to clear fence rows the same way you were, I wish we'd had something like this back in the 1970's

    • @denisewilson8367
      @denisewilson8367 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Yeah me too! In the early 60's there was only chainsaws to cut everything by hand with a lot of manual labor.
      The same for clearing /picking rocks out of the crop fields, by hand. And most were dumped in the fence rows along the fields. Now days they have a piece of equipment that goes on your skid steer to pick up rock. It rotates to shake out the dirt so you can just get the rocks.

    Disappointed there is no mention of the cost of hiring someone with a machine like this for a day or six hours of work.

  • @Gardendreamsforme

    What an awesome machine! I learn so much from y’all!!!

  • @mundydiludovico5268
    @mundydiludovico5268 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    It’s amazing how much 1 machine can do in a day and you didn’t even break out in a sweat , a lot of people think it’s expensive to hire machinery but if you break it down in time saved you can move onto other projects instead of concentrating on one project for twelve months. Money well spent.

  • @Will7981
    @Will7981 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    A mini excavator with a quick detach system and auxiliary hydraulic connection (most come with that), you can put a mulcher head on it and do close to the same thing you just did here. Then of course you can take the mulcher off and use your buckets. Also, you can put things like augers on the excavator to dig fence post holes, cutter decks for bush hogging etc. Just some tips here to increase your knowledge of equipment since you said you are learning it.👍🏻

    That is the coolest machine I think I have ever seen. I cannot believe how satisfying it was to watch him work.😁

  • @denisewilson8367
    @denisewilson8367 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    A forestry mulcher is a perfect machine to open an area and establish/reestablish the boudries. Or clear land to put in production as pasture or an area to build on. Great choice.

  • @arwoods1237

    I bought a forestry mulcher when first moved to a farm, fence lines grown over. Thick brush, 12” diameter trees, prickly pear cactus, mulched it all. A year later was some of the best native grass on the place, did not pick up any debris caused by the mulcher. But that would be your call. Also bought a skid loader and other attachments, it’s unbelievable what you can do with one of those machines.

  • @jessicamstorch
    @jessicamstorch ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Now that you had it forest mulched you NEED an ATV with a tow behind brush hog to maintain it. We have the Kunz Engineering rough cut 44” mower and it was a game changer for maintaining our property. Because a lot of your brush will come back

    BACKDRAGGING is the term used when he backs the machine up to regrind what was just cut. The more backdragging the smoother the outcome. Our experience has shown that it takes about two years for all the mulch that is left behind to deteriorate. We’ve had a forestry mulcher at our place several times and waiting for drier weather for a return visit. Tim in northern TN

    That thing is amazing, I lived in NY and never had a need for it, moved to Florida and I had a lot on my property with Trees and being a city boy didn’t know about these things, well I had someone come and cleared out the whole thing in one day and now I have a lake view,

Now you have a lot of time to do other important jobs. I really do enjoy your videos and watching your family tame this land. Best wishes for the future.

    you need to get equipment to maintain your property. First item, a tractor. then start getting attachments. rotary cutter (bush hog), finish mower?, tiller? post hole auger? disc harrow? etc.

    These two old folks (small dairy farmers) over here in WI are very happy for you both. Seeing good stewards of the land gives us a nice feeling. Hope young folks reclaim more land for small farming to show that it can still be done here in the USA.
