i bought the 3 acres surrounding my shop. there is about 1 acre of BIG cottonwood trees, for those not familiar, a pretty soft wood, not very desireable for firewood. i want to clear the property, and put up rental/storage units. hauling these to our landfill is cost prohibitive. 2 cents a pound plus cost of trucking.
i took the excavator, and knocked them all down and have them piled up. now to get rid of them. about once a year, a guy comes in with a BIG horizontal grinder to take care of the city's tree waste. i can hire him, but it's damn expensive.
young competitor friend of mine bought an excavator mounted carbide tipped asphalt/concrete milling unit. it will fit on my hyundai. he claims it'll work slicker'n snot on a doorknob to turn the trees/strumps into chips, and he's offered me a damn good rental rate on the unit.
have any of you ever tried this? does it work?
