There are many things that contribute to productivity & how efficiently a job is completed.
Some variables in machines and attachments to consider include:
•Power (HP) and size
•Flow type

You can! If that’s what the job calls for.
Our services don’t replace the need for tree loppers, our scope of works is very different.
A tree lopper’s expertise is always required for removal of larger or singular trees.However, if you are looking for a quick solution to removing bulk forestry, invasive species or unwanted growth over a larger area, our machines are the most productive option.

Unfortunately there is no magic number.
Every piece of land is vastly different.
Some variables that impact productivity include:
Machine size and type used
Attachment type used
Terrain (rocky, sloped, steep, undulating, flat etc)
The vegetation type
Vegetation thickness
Area size
Obstacles and access
Your objectives for your land (e.g are you wanting a nicely groomed finish with fine mulch that can be driven over, used for seeding or pasture,
or are you happy for a coarse finish to achieve a wider footprint)
If you would like an assessment of how long your job might take, please contact us with some photos and size of the area and we will tailor an estimate for you.
