    Clearing old burn piles with a mulcher

    2 years ago I had about 5 acres cleared in to 4 rather large piles. We attempted to burn one, and let's just say, with the winds coming and going, it was more than I want to procede with. WIth that being said, I got a few bids for contractors to come in and mulch the remaining dry burn piles...
