Hi all,
Has anyone ever heard of a Brown tree cutter? I have a friend in N. Fla. who manages a plantation for a family and he was telling me about this tree cutter. As I understood him, it is like a bush hog that has a large weighted disk (+/- 300lbs) with 3 cutter arms hinged to the disk. The rear deck of the cutter is spring loaded to retract, as you push it into a tree, exposing the cutter heads. I was told it is rated to cut up to a 7" tree. He pulls this beast with a 100 hp 4wd Massey.
Way to much for my little tractor and I sure would want a good FOPS system. With the right tractor it sure sounds like you could do some serious rough clearing.
