That lot is 16 acres Dave, ten needs cleared and there is no hurry with it. I'm through the worst of it now, after today at least. I average an acre every two hours. Two hours and I've run a tank of gas through the mini, and I'm ready to get off and rest anyways. It's three miles from home, so...

Not good pictures, but pictures. I went out for a couple of hours to work on it while the weather was nice, here's some of the mess.

I thought of that as well, but with the limited power of the mini, it'd be useless on the larger, 2-3" in my case, tree's. I can't see this design being effective on anything over 5-6" no matter the amount of power you throw at it. Maybe if you angled the cutters, much like a plow, on both sides...

The problem I have is the tree's are so close together in this area, any larger and you are hitting multiple tree's and the machine doesn't have the power. I wish I'd have taken pics before I started on this job but I didn't. Originally I though cutting a full swath the blade would have been...

Yup! A couple of times or more if they are bigger.

Stephan, the mini is only 25hp. It's getting burnt in Spring, they plan on haying it next year. These tree's should be dry as a bone by then and burn easily with the grass.

The original design was based on a plow shear, I couldn't source one locally, I used what I had. The blade is 17" long, really to long for the mini, but I made this one to fit on a lager machine as well, hence the larger material gives it a dual use. Hadn't thought of chipper knives, but...

Stephan might be able to adapt this to his DR, not sure how much power it has? I'm clearing 10 acres of 1/2" to 3" of piss Elm and wasn't interested in bending that much! A buddy lead me to this design, simple, cheap and very effective! 3/4" and smaller it slices right through it, bigger stuff...
