Can any of you tell us about your experience using a 8k or a similar size crawler with the Rome kg plow
Production acres per hr
a guy told me his d7 and kg around 4 acres a day? 8 to 10 hrs
I don't have one yet so far just been using d9h and a Chicot v blade, it is a beast 10 acres a day or more and that's a lot of backing up JUST TOO MUCH risk for trouble with 60 to 80 ft trees for long second gear non stop runs, every now and then there will be areas not so dense with shorter trees other wise its a very thick jungle
The trees pine, red oak, popular, what ever Tenn. has its got. They range in size from a dense population of 5 to 15" then a mild blend of 16 to 36" lots of stumps over 36" as it was logged.
Call that, they cherry picked the timber
I do really like the v blade but it makes a lot of widow makers as it cast to both sides.
I did run a 9h not far away that had a kg but it was dull I hit a red oak and all it did was spin me around that site was nothing but stumps no dangerous trees to harm you or your machine.
