M7040 & M5040 put them to the test this weekend!

Great pics. Much improved looking pasture.

I am surprised that you can run a 15' mower on a M5040. Of course you have flat ground, which is a big help but you are well beyond the "5hp per foot" rule of thumb.

Love all the pictures. Looks like you really cleared Some pasture. Do you plan to spray the sprouts off all the stumps or simply bushhog it again? We have the same problem with popcorn trees on my place. They come up everywhere and are almost impossible to kill without poison.

I plan to foliar treat with Grazon Next in the May/June timeline.

My understanding is that with me having shredded in December, and spraying in June, I should see ~70% kill rate.

If I don't grind the larger trees before then, I will basal treat them as well.
