Hello again, all. This past weekend we were enjoying some sunny skies and temps in the upper 50's. So, we decided to check out some property that is for sale (13 acres, gentle slopes, wooded, stream at the rear boundary - beautuful). As we were walking the property, I was thinking that I could probably spend alot of time cleaning out the undergrowth and thinning out the trees while waiting to build a home here.
The tool of choice for clearing out the sapplings and small trees (< 3 in) might be one of these brush cutters (a circular blade thingy on the buisness end of a string trimmer gizmo). Being one who looks for ways to conserve energy (I don't like to think of it as being lazy) I started to think about the PT again.
I thought I recalled a discussion here where someone mentioned rigging a string trimmer to the PT to help cut along fence lines, although a search of this forum did not yield any results (may have been in another section). In any event, I can't help but think that one of you PT wizards hasn't brought up the possibility of engineering such an attachment. Kind of like the stump grinder, only with the blade oriented horizontally. Give it some side-to side hydraulic action and you'd be in buisness to fly through the woods buzzing down everything that gets in your way.
So, how crazy is this idea?
