Guys need some advice here-
We have rented a skidsteer & brush mower for last couple years. This last time I saw that the vegetation is just getting too much , at least for this particular setup. They don't have an enclosed cage, so I can't lift the mower up over the brush & cut from top down.
I tried, but after a few chunks to the face decided it wasn't worth it.
They also have 2 mini excavators with bucket thumb & a compact JD backhoe. Also a grapple bucket for the skidsteer.
What would be better? The skidsteer & grapple bucket or one of the other machines? I have about 200 yards to clear for a fire break & a couple lanes to push out. Hardwood, mostly gum & cherry 3/4-1" but they are about 9-10ft tall.
I can rent either of the options I mentioned for around $500. A dozer in this area goes for $6-700 before delivery.Perfect world, I would just rent a forestry muncher & go to town. But no one around rents it without Gen liability & its $10k a day.
