I have some clumps of sumac bushes up to 7' high and 1 1/2 inch in diameter (most smaller though) I would like to get rid of. What is the best way? I have a Century 3045 (45 hp) tractor with a 6' rotary cutter. With the old 9n and 4 foot cutter you would run out of power so you never got yourself in trouble.
I thought about just lowering the FEL down and going forward and let the rotary tuff it out. Does not sound very safe though for me or the tractor. Should I cut them down some first then let the rotary have at the rest, go all the way down to the ground with them? Was worried about putting one through the tires if I cut them too low?
What have you guys found to be the best way to handle this kind of stuff???
Thanks in advance!
