Hey y'all,
Here's a project that I've had in mind for a few years. The property that I work on has hundreds of junipers that ultimately will need to be removed. Previous workers have cut the trees, chipped the tops and left the stumps and logs to be dealt with by some future worker (me). I'm not too pleased with that method as it was all manual labor and it seems to create as much work as it completes (make work).
My thought has been to add a tree spear to my dozer to be used either in conjunction with the Rockland root rake that I have or just by itself. Then I would have the option of using the loader to transfer either the tops and root mass or entire trees to burning piles.
I have no experience with tree spears so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
