Tree Clearing
Take Back Your Land! Our skid-steer loader equipped with a tree saw clears all sizes of trees quickly. Using a machine to do the work, we can remove unwanted trees in large areas much more efficiently, economically, and closer to (or below) ground level than by chainsaw.

Tree saws also leave little to no stump above the ground. This method is much less destructive than bulldozing. Once trees are onthe ground, the stumps are treated to prevent re-growth. Then we use our grapple to grab trees and pile them up.
The loader is great at clearing invasive trees out of overgrown grasslands, pastures, etc. Osage orange(hedge), honey locust, and eastern red cedar are the usual invasive trees in our region, though other species of trees can also accompany them into places where they are not wanted. Our customers appreciate the areas that we reclaim after removing such trees. Native grassland areas that have been taken over by invasive trees can be reclaimed by taking the trees down and properly managing the stand of grass. These reclaimed areas benefit wildlife by providing bedding areas for deer, edge habitat for quail, nesting grounds for turkey, and habitat for a host of grassland flora and fauna.
Our attachments are also great for clearing out interior wooded areas to allow for the installation of food plots. Plots located inside of wooded areas are highly attractive to deer. The surrounding woods offer them security. Deer will come out to feed more readily during daylight hours in an interior food plot. Provided that you don’t over use these areas, and/or you have a number of such areas, you will see greater number of deer traveling to and from these plots during daylight hours.
Another great use of our equipment includes creating beneficial habitat for quail by edge feathering. This is a process where invasive 
trees are removed along portions of an established forested area (including hedge rows). This sets a small area of habitat back into a successional stage, which is more beneficial to quail. Downed trees can then be put into piles and burned, or used to create brush piles for wildlife.
