A local outfit rents heavy duty skidsteer stuff. Usually come with a big FEL but also have a very heavy duty bush hog.
Am contemplating rental, probably with the bucket first to get some big stumps out.
Then have them come and detach the bucket and put on the heavy duty bush hog.
How many have never used one of these and started using on very steep slopes.
Where we were loading and hauling wood pieces the wife had cut up this morning is the main spot we need this thing for. Too steep for the tractor, and my tractor is not up to getting very big stumps out, particularly on such a slope.
Also have a line on a guy who has this equipment and hires out. Wife talked to his father yesterday when she saw him at the gate across the cul-de-sac from us. The rental costs are quite high. Probably not too much more to hire it done.
