Hello from Northeast Ohio! I've enjoyed reading about flail mowers, mulching heads etc on TBN, and as everyone is so friendly here, I figured it was time to join.
I recently purchased 35-ish acres of vacant land that was logged off a couple of years ago. Soil descriptions for much of the county range from "poorly drained" to "very poorly drained" and the latter is an apt description for this property. The trees had grown up on abandoned fields, so now I've got an impassable mix of red maple stumps, logging slash, and opportunistic invasives (mostly smooth and common buckthorn) growing up through axle-breaking 19th century drainage ditches. I don't even own a lawnmower, so I'll need to rent or buy something (probably something with tracks and decent hp) to clean it up.
It's not all bad. Birds, bugs, and butterflies find the place perfectly suitable, and for whatever reason tickseed coreopsis bloomed like crazy all over the place this year
. Here's a picture from one of the logging roads.
