Buy a walk behind or Rent a mini-skid brush cutter

I bought this used and have been very impressed by what this will cut through.

The Bobcat is going to survive finding "surprises" in the field much better than the walk behind.

Mind if I ask how much you paid for it and what size saplings were you able to take down?

I can walk through the saplings, as there is no high grass in between to worry about surprises. I can see dirt most of the time. I will try and post come pics.

They are pricey new, around $5k.

I paid half that used. It was a gamble, but I've used it over a year with no issues. I have cut through saplings about 1.5" with no issues.

I've had really good luck spraying "fence line herbicide" with a atv sprayer. Kills the entire bush and it doesn't come back. If you don't want a stand of dead branches, wait until it's good and dead and then mow it down.
