So throwing this out here- In our area it has become almost impossible to rent a forestry mulcher for DIY work. All the bobcat dealers have a policy in place that either you have be a business, or at least have rental equipment insurance.
We did have 1 gentleman come out last year & did a great job but he is no longer doing that work. I’ve been pricing others & everyone is running $200-300/hr or the cheaper guys want a day or two to make it worth it which I understand.
Landowner is funding all this & im looking at renting a tracked skid steer with either a grapple or a tractor & bushhog. We’ve ran a skid steer & bushhog before & it did “ok”, this is a 7yr old clearcut, so sweetgum & oak saplings that are 2-3”, but might be a cluster 10-12” together.
My thoughts were push it with the grapple, since this is fairly sandy soil & the roots are fairly shallow, but my equipment experience has been with either a mulching head, a plain bucket & the bushhog. Anyone cleared with a grapple on either a tractor or skid steer?
