What is the name of the rotating brush eater Bobcat attachment?
It's used to clear over grown lots, lanes between trees on a pine plantation, etc.
TIA

Thanks.
The forestry cutter is what I was looking for. I'm looking to try and rent one in the spring to do some shooting lane clearing in some 13 year old pines.
The under growth is mainly native grasses, briars, thorn bushes, and rogue pine saplings.
Should I go this route or is there something lighter duty that would accomplish the job.
ETA The pines were not planted in rows. I was told that the land owner instructed the planting engineers from south of the border to plant them randomly every 8 paces our so.

Just get someone to bush hog it for you. That'll do it much faster because you have to go relatively slow with those forestry mowers

Many of the rotary style hydraulic mowers you can run with low or standard flow. FAE is the only manufacturer that you can run the drum or flail style mulcher on a low flow skid steer.

A 4wd tractor with a front end loader and a bush hog will show your undergrowth no mercy

I repeat...do not accidentally run over a hidden
barbed wire fence(downed&overgrown)
the 3-4 hours spent cutting it all out is miserable.

If you are shredding the trees, you need a blade to push all that debris off of the shooting lanes...it acts as mulch and WILL inhibit the growth of what you are planting...
Don't know if you've seen the mess a stump grinder makes with the all shredded wood and wood chips, but that stuff will keep things from growing...for a long time...

Not sure what would be better for clearing lanes than a dozer

honestly, if you are just talking about briars, grass, and some saplings that aren't over a couple of inches in diameter, a nice heavy bushog on a tractor with a front end loader would probably work better than anything else...
