North Alabama land clearing and forestry mulching is who the contractor was. Tyler Rains 256-777-3384

Even though he was about 40% more I went with him over local guys with skidsteer mulchers because his machines were higher hp and larger and wider heads. The machine I linked above that did mine was 2 ft wider than most skid steer heads and 100hp more. So for every pass he made he was getting 2 ft more of work done which saved time. Since they did mine they have upgraded to even higher HP machines. They charge a flat daily rate for 8 hours of run time. It was not cheap for what he did for me but when you compare what he did in 8 hours to finished product, to what it would have taken me, with my saws, tractor with grapple, 2 laborers, 3 or 4 weekends cost of wood chipper and stump grinder rental I was money ahead letting him knock it out in a day.


Here is one of his new mulchers and his subsoiler.
