Best way to clear gorse

[dent]

Depending on location you could speak to lgpeddie on here

His Kubota is pretty much designed for this kind of work

You want a couple of powerful brushcutter with these shredder blades 👍🏼

Clearing saw with shredder blade will do it but you may spend some time in A&E if you do not suit and boot up with good ppe.

Rip and burn is best if to keep regrowth to a minimum.

[Chris Sheppard]

We usually have one sawing, with one following behind treating stumps and pulling the worst of the scrub away from the cutter, then at the end of each strip (either working across the slope or up/down it) we grab a pitchfork each and start rolling it down to where it can be dealt with. Main thing is not to cut too much that it can't be manhandled.

Chipping the stuff it torture unless it's a big open hopper machine that you'd normally think was overkill for the size of material.

Like Stephen said 360 to rip it out then either burn or row up at the edge of the site on better ground and run over with a mulcher which is how I did some for the m o d a few years back on a no burn site, expensive equipment but knocked my labour bill down to about 10% of what was originally proposed and tried by another contractor on the site the year before with a tw190.

We did a lot more in less time for the same cost and probably more profit, everybody wins.

I've done a lot of gorse removal with the 3 tonner and grab, I just pull it straight out, the roots are never deep and doesn't make a mess.

If you can walk it you can usually get the machine to it.

I can clear a fare bit in a day.
