Shouldn't be a problem with a good operator. If the ground is fairly wet, it should help a lot. The only problem you run into is the small trees breaking off at the base and having to work the stumps out. If it's real dry, it's obviously harder to get the trees out without them breaking at the base.
I'm not a mulching fan at all. Leaves stumps and takes longer.Last edited by Arrowthreat; 01-28-2020, 01:31 PM.

X2 on the mulching. Never been much of a fan of it after we had our place done. WAY to many stumps to deal with afterwards and a good dozer operator would run circles around a mulching rig.
Good operator will knock that project out well within that time frame.

I work for a large scale excavation company. We have over 100 pieces of equipment, and none are mulchers.Last edited by Arrowthreat; 01-28-2020, 03:03 PM.
