Most of tat is not good lumber.  That is what the highway department of Kansas needs along our highways.  The wife says I can't have one. :'(

So is your plane stranded in one of those trees we see being demolished?

Looks like the right tool for quickly clearing serious underbrush. The equipment and operator are expensive to rent, but it does a quick job and considering the time it is capable of doing it, a large area is cleared in one to two days versus a week or two with an entire crew and several pieces of equipment.

So, in the right situation it is the most cost effective solution especially in a competitive bid environment. A C/L club would most likely not be able to afford the costs to clear a lot of their choosing. That, the usual volunteer labor with chain saws and axes would most likely be the equipment of choice.   :)!

For building or road construction, probably a Cat 9-D would be the equipment of choice.  ;D

I need one of those for a weekend.  Too many dying ash with emerald ash borer beetles.
