How much of it is too rough to get to with your tractors?

Devil is in the details, living conditions and pay scale.


I shred ranches, so the shredding is done as pasture management.

It's not so much a matter of not being able to get it done because of roughness, it's just a matter of how fast you can go. Or if the brush/trees are too big in diameter, you can't go at all. wink

This photo shows huisache trees in the background... It was all like that. I brought the tree puller in and pulled every huisache tree I could on the ranch. (Took awhile)

Now I'm following it up with shredding where I pulled the trees out of pastures.

Pulling trees too big to shred..

Huisache, mesquite, and rose hedge can choke a pasture out in short order down here, and ruin your ranch for grazing. It can get out of hand very quickly. Once it gets out of hand, the longer you leave it, the more expensive and invasive the options are to restore it.
