    Well it's at least painted "saw colors". This is age related medical equipment, should help me keep burning forever. :rofl: :lol:
    The grapple arms pull what you're cutting across the knife on the bottom. Supposed to have an 12" +/- capacity. Perfect for my thinning project.

    Looks like more fun than showing up at a haunted house with your own chainsaw!

    I need to make the mounting for the excavator. I dropped off a template for the fab guy to cut out and get the pins. I'll weld it to that plate. Then there's 4 hydraulic lines I need to have made up.
    This might be a week or more depending mostly on the mounting "ears" getting cut out and machined.
    I am very excited myself. It should be a huge help.
    This is what I'm working on

    That mulched area was as dense as the background.

    Then there were a lot of trees bent over or that had the tops broken off from a late wet snow last April.
    It's been years since sunlight hit the ground and growth was stifled.

    I have a contract with the NRCS that pays for a portion of the work.

    Looks more like a shear than a saw. Nice piece of equipment regardless!! Keep that thing away from the rocks!!

    It is definitely a shear. A real logging type "buncher" is not just an attachment a goober (me) can stick on an excavator. :yes:

    This is the basis of my information and investment.
