It's been years since sunlight has hit the forest floor.
Leaving the desirable seed trees. It was primarily small stunted hemlock and red maple.
That's a disc mulcher for a SS that I have on an adapter for my excavator. Most of my land is too rocky to engage the ground with a drum mulcher. Trying to be selective and "reaching in" vs the normal "sweeping" action of an excavator mulcher seem to be the right tool for my needs. A smaller machine would be nice but that mulcher and adapter is pushing 3000# and I can't always cut off of the ends.
