PTO 3 point hitch Forestry mulcher

I am pleased with the work the

I just accepted a quote for brush clearing and taking out trees up to 5”. A mini-ex with a mower head to clean around the two acre pond & dam, $1650 for one 8 hour day. Then two days @ $1600/day for a tracked SS mulcher for general cleanup along access roads, fence lines, and edges of wood lines. I identified the top priority areas then will direct the operators if any remaining time permits. Afterwards I’ll try to do a better job of maintaining these areas with the bush hog or herbicides.

I am pleased with the work the men and machines did recently. A pleasure doing business with this company, it’s getting rare to say that.

If you are spending $200 to replace a tooth renting starts to sound cheap in comparison. I was considering buying a PTO unit until I ran a rental CTL unit. Not worth breaking my tractor to save a few bucks, plus no large up-front cost and down time. The CTL will take a LOT more abuse than a tractor ever will, plus you can raise the cutting head to remove branches high up as well as at ground level. BTW a new CTL with mulching head will cost CDN$200-250K new. Buying a used one is like buying a dead horse.

Make sure you have a bullet proof windshield.
