Buying Advice Best model to remove brush / cactus

[SPYDERLK]

Thanks Larry, do you mean from prickly pear cactus, or just driving around rough ranch land?

We dont have thorns here that will penetrate AGs so I dont have experience. But I hear the horror stories on the board so in other places some thorns must be an issue. Rough ranch land should be little or no problem causing flats, but may shorten tire life a little. Fixing flats from thorns would get tiresome real quick tho.

As a bonus and a thank you, my Kubota dealer (Lanford in Marble Falls) filled my tires with some kind of "no-leak" stuff... I have a ton of mesquite and have never had a flat from the thorns...

Have you looked at the Rylee Root Ripper from Nothertool? I think this would be great on small trees. I am dying to get one, but I would like to hear some feedback first. Philip.

As Kuboman has said the use of a dozer would
be simpler as you can use one with a six way blade.

There is a contractor that uses a pair of D8 dozers and
a length of ship anchor chains that is stretched between both
dozers and they use them to knock down cactus on range
land. they travel in parallel both directions knocking
down the cactus in both directions.


Is their any reason you cannot use a weed dragon to
burn the cactus and use a chain saw to knock them
down that way?? salt water does wonders for killing
unwanted vegetation.
