I need to clear 10’ wide right of ways. We have contracted out a lot of dozers usually D6 size as well as the big rubber tire mulchers. The dozers are much faster though they leave a mess behind. If they had to rake and stack afterwards I am sure the mulchers would be quicker.
I am looking to buy a machine to do some of the clearing myself. We usually contract out around 500 miles a year of 10’ wide right of way. The bigger jobs we usually put 3-4 machines on but the smaller ones we want to do ourselves as we often find it costly and difficult to get someone to come clear a mile here or there.
I have a 100hp tracked skid steer. What I am wondering is how a mulcher on it or maybe a Rayco 100 smaller mulcher would compare to a smaller dozer like a D4 or Deere 550? Interested in how fast they could clear compared to each other and anticipated maintenance costs.
