[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 30777, member: 307"] How tall and what diameter are the trees and what are you doing with them once they are cut? ctls have an advantage on soft ground or steep terrain but this advange comes with a heavy maintenance cost in tracks and under carriage. Talked to a guy with a T320 who just put 9700 into his under cariage at 1240 hours.You will want to be real sure you don't climb over too many stumps. bobcat introduced a steel track this year and may be something to conside for forest use. Also I believe 5” material is a bit heavy for a flail mower from what I've heard, but have used a rotary cutter on 3 ish ” minus with good results and cedar is not real tough. 5” stuff is getting close to grinder head time, something like the MF 548 [URL]http://baumalight.com/brush_mulcher.php[/URL]. Could you post some pictures of the land and more info on your plans. Ken [/QUOTE]
