Cost compared with windrowing? 15 years ago I was regularly burning 300 litres of gasoil a day in either the Ahwi or Plaisance.

 

On development sites we used a 360 to dig and clean stumps into a windrow, mulched that and it was stored on site and eventually then mixed with topsoil from the site and used in landscaping, I doubt a woodland replant could afford the luxury.

Done a few sites where we have cleared windblown and as the rootplates are all ready half up we have just pulled them out with a grab on a digger and flipped them over in to there original hole, they will all rot down and supply nutrients for the new stock,
