Hi Guys,
I have been approved for some money through my state's NRCS program to get rid of some invasive species. The plan calls for some type of mechanical removal with a Fecon-type mower followed up with a chemical treatment. My forester can do the chemical treatment but we are at a loss for finding someone with this type of equipment. The job size is rather small, just under 6 acres to be mowed and treated, but the area is somewhat wet. We both agree that a tracked unit, skid-steer type machine with a forestry mower would be perfect. So I am looking for two scenarios:
1. Renting such a unit
2. Hiring the job out
I have no issues in running the equipment myself, I run farm equipment all the time.
I am in central Massachusetts, in Warren. Any leads or info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Rich
