Reclaiming Field Perimeters 101

[blin]

All good information. I have a gas pole saw that I have started to use. I guess that may be the most economical way to go. Most of the branches that I am cutting are around 2" in diameter. I will drop those and run them over with the bush hog a few times and let them rot. The large ones I guess will go to a burn pile. The TS-08 looks cool. I will look into that some more. Anyone see anything like a large chop saw with round blade that will fit on the front side of the tractor? I would love to line up along a fence line or creek line and just move it up and down as I drive the line dropping branches in front of me.
Again, I am fairly new to this, so I am open to all ideas.

The Limb Hog and HyReach Tree Shear are closer to what I was thinking would be needed. A 43hp tractor might be able to drive them, and weight might be light enough not to tip the tractor.
Please keep replying with products and practices.
Thanks,

Gas pole saw and a teenager that needs gas money.

I guess I'm just lazy but I just use my bucket to knock the limbs that will be a problem down and then run over it with the brush hog. I just did quite a bit of that over the weekend.

This would work on trees and it rotates for limbs.

That would take FOREVER!!!!

a pole saw or chain saw in hand would be much quicker

Blin, depending on where you are in Va, I might know a guy that has what you need.

I just use a chain saw with the longest blade I can easily handle. Pole saw is nice for small stuff up high but if I'm walking and swinging a 60CC saw with a 30" blade it tends to go thru everything. However my son advocates a Dewalt rechargeable reciprocating saw with a long blade.

Only if the I Phone stays in the truck during work!

Not Lazy. I have done that too. I just keep getting hit in the head from the ones that don't break all the way and whip back across the tractor. :banghead: This may be a standard practice, and the way I keep doing it at times.
Thanks for the feedback.

Not far from NC line. About the middle of the VA. Don't hold out on me DT86. What do you know?
