Ahwi land clearance.

[Andy Clark]

Thank you for rubbishing my extensive experience of mulching.

 

You can push the mulcher head on an Ahwi into the ground 12 inches

 

You're more than welcome Ed...... would you like me to highlight the major contradiction in your posts too??

[Mr Ed]

by all means.

[Andy Clark]

Mulchers like the ahwi wont even go below the surface,

It was your rather confusing and contradictory comment that I was 'rubbishing', not your 'extensive experience of mulching'.

 

My apologies.

[Mr Ed]

not going to type out a long reply, as im on my phone in services. In short, you can push the head as deep as you like, but all you do is push the big material deeper...

Dont know all the correct implement terms, but I had a D9 in behind me clearing an orchard, he had a monster 3 pronged plough thingy on the back and a sifty type blade up front. He literally ploughed up the tree stumps, then pushed them up in a heap with the sifty blade thing. All the root debris was lifted successfully, a nice clean site for re-planting. The 3-pronged ploughy thing went in about a metre.

That would be a ''ripper'' or ''ripper tooth/teeth'' Andy

Reading this post with some interest..

I am waiting to hear back about a job where we will have to completley remove the stumps and the only cost effective way if doing it that I have been able to find is either:

 

Excavator and then tub grinder - (very expensive!!)

or tracked stump grinder which is still expensive, but works out a good bit cheaper than the tub grinder, but..... horses for courses, our job is on the side and top of a short bank about 7m wide and 400m long so I need mobility as access will be tight on the site boundary but if you're effectivley doing a clear fell then I would get an excavator in to lift all the stumps and pile them all up together and the organise a crane fed tub grinder to come in and get the whole lot.

you would need to get all the stumps to roadside for that matt, which means a dumper or forwarder of some kind, there aint nothing cheaper than a match i reckon

That's true alright Stevie...... fire is free afterall.

I would Cut it all then go in for a day with a 8 ton 360 and rake the stumps out and move logs the logs and brash about.
