    Dealing with the log(trunk) portion of the deadfall is only 25% of the work in this deadfall bug wood. Most of the work and time is the branches and limbs, say 5inches and down in diameter.-Dealing with those requires a wood chipper(other replies on here deal with chipping vs burning). You...

    Well I grew up on a farm, not the high dollar type of farm, just a small operation. Our biggest tractor was a International 1586, between the tractors and our grain trucks that was our heavy equipment. I worked for a Ethanol plant for a year where we drove trucks with main and a pup into the...

    Thanks for that info., i really need the pto in combo with a crawler. Any of those models stick out to you as a good machine given the same track condition? My biggest concern is parts availability and the price of them.

    my land is steep enough and has so much deadfall driving a wheeled tractor doesnt seem possible, to high of a center of gravity and without tracks you would have to move even the smallest deadfall to not fix a tire puncture every day, my four wheeler tires are bad enough to keep up with...

    i would not do alot of grading so it sounds like the bucket would be better for cleanup, thanks

    Hi guys, I have been reading through these posts trying to gather information on what type of machine might be best for me. I have 11 acres that has a bunch of bad Pine Beetle damage to the trees, and I need to clean the mess up. The terrain is pretty steep and there are trees fallen...
