The Grillo dealer seems pretty confident that the Grillo/flail will cut this briar patch, but said it will be slow. Haven't heard from the Orec rep, but I suspect they'll say the same thing.
Trouble is, I know from experience that cutting brush with a walk behind on a hillside is a hard physical task. That's really why I'm interested in finding some kind of ride on brush cutter that will work on this slope.
Although I hate to spend an additional $18k for a PT on top of what I already spent on Kubotas, I'm having trouble thinking of a less expensive alternative.
You should also check with the local FECON mulcher brush mower dealer near you as there almost 30 of them around you to see how much a daily rental for a small tracked mulcher would be as it would be able to clear this in less than a day and then go back and grind everything back below ground level so you can use a wood brush killer on it.
They would be able to tell you who has an FTX150 or FTX150-2 that could come and clear this sloped plot as well if they do not have a rental unit of this size.
If the rental or day hire is less than a new purchase I would think about it.
