Some pics would be helpful but I'm sure a mulcher will do a better job than a rotary and will sling material further. If the material is all under 8", I'm pretty sure the Kershaw will handle it fine but it depends on the type of mower/head and the Kershaw's and mowers' conditions respectively.

How big are the trees, density, and how does the finished product need to look?

most is 3-4 a couple will be 6" at the max. and for density a tree every couple feet but it all depends. the finish all depends also on when they want to start farming it.

This saw made by DFM can cut 10" a second. As fast as you can move, it mows them down.. It's also designed to cut below the ground- no more stumps or stobs.

That looks like a turbo saw adapted to an excavator. It'll cut but then what?

I work for DFM, which makes Turbo Saw attachments, and that is a Turbo Saw mounted on a mini-excavator. It is a manual rotating model so it is rated to cut up to a 30" stump, trim limbs, & cut logs. For what these other quality attachments cost to clear land, you can buy a Turbo Saw and a Turbo Saw grapple for far less. Our commercial cutters like their tools dedicated to specific capabilities such as cutting or gathering. Our highspeed models like that manual rotator start out at $7,800 and our premier commercial hydraulic rotator on a skid runs $9,650 (it has a built in sprayer tank as well). We make a 1/2" thick tined 84" wide grapple for $2,950.
