Go to minute 1:40 in the two minute video that takes as least a minute to find. Pole saw and lopers. One hand is not supposed to be like I see here. Since it see it is kind of mechanized, they have mini excavators with bursh munching attachments. I sent a message to one ad on craig list, they do it for a fee but he would not quote me long distance. Probably some sort of attachment for that machine it you guys don't want to play more large equipment instead of tiny chainsaw.
I'm sorry, did you mean you only watched 1 minute and 40 seconds, or was there something at the 1:40 mark that was remarkable? The guy on the right was using a Tanaka magnesium chassis 38 cc with a 12" bar, and being very surgical about what he was pruning. Great guy, tireless worker, steady and slow all day long, but very, very, safe and careful he is. I am not in the picture, and in fact I am in another area by myself, because neither one of us wants to work next to the other. He is too slow and careful, and I tend to run hard through a tank and sit down for a rest. I typically fall standing dead and buck big wood when he is around to help, because he details the things we want to keep.
The beginning of the video is my 48" wide 3000 pound rubber tracked skid steer and rootrake/grapple. We want a light footprint, its very selective clearing and grubbing. I don't own a mini excavator. They also don't make a forestry mulcher or masticator for a machine this small. Further, That flyway (hole) is about the biggest and widest, and we don't desire it to be larger. I do have much bigger equipment I could use and at some point, may be getting a 105 HP Forestry Mulcher, but its a big ticket- $150,000.00
Another factor you wouldn't know about at this course, we collected 20 tons of dumped debris and sent it to the landfill properly. Tile Carpet roofing over a hundred tires, you name it, it had been illegally dumped. So a Forestry mulcher, wasn't the right call, nor was it in the budget.
I've got chainsaws, I just don't have a tiny one, and, I guess I will go buy one, now. The video shows what its like after a ruan some big stuff out. Not what it looks like when I walked in with a GPS and some paint- but look at the video again, and you can see just how thick it can be. Aint clearing this with loppers and a pole saw (got one of them too), when I have Machines. I just dont need to wear every brush and vine when I am doing recon.
Did you understand we volunteered to do this? For free?
