I dropped a few hickory ash and maple two summers ago next to the house. They quickly over grew with brush. Starting cleaning out the area and bam, more wood. Corona gives me a positive wood score again
The mini works well for home use, but a 20,000 lb machine would be ideal if you were moving a lot. I think by this time next year I will trade into a decent sized skid steer with tracks
Woodsnwoods I live south of Syracuse but work there. I think a 50 would work much better for us since we'd move it around a lot. We don't have tracks on our skid steer but one with tracks is on wish list of we don't find an excavator.
