Mill 'em, nails be damned.
Quite a few clearing jobs here are on steep farm back blocks containing a very dense but generally small and scraggly, excellent firewood species that seldom gets over 1' DBH and is often only 6". I'm wondering if a brush cutter could be useful in the smaller stuff, and if so, what it is like using one on steep hills, and what the max diameters of dense wood it can handle.
I'm asking in here because maybe the thinning guys have experience and know the limits.
One day, I might afford a wee 6-10t excavator with a small felling head on it, but for now, I'm just exploring how to get the most out of my own labour input.
