I have 50 acres of mixed cedar and oaks, I'm wondering if a case cx130 would be a good choice for clearing. I have 5800 foot of fence line to clear in a variety of soil, rock, sand. I also have a creek bed 1800 ft long that I would like to clear, but don't want to put a bull dozer in and demolish the banks.
Any suggestions?
I owe one also depends on the size of the Oak trees, and number of them. I like mine a lot and it will handle quite a few things. The cedars will come out easy with it and unless a really big Oak you should be fine. I also like i that I can haul it without permits! Hope this helps ask away a lot of good into here to be gleaned.
Like I said in my message to you I would buy a bigger machine like a 150 komatsu, 160 case, 315 cat or step up to a 200 size machine komatsu 200, cat 320 or 322, case 200 series or any brand really. Best thing to do is find a good dealer near you and find a machine they service so if you have issues help is close by. With 50 acres I'd buy a big machine.
Thanks for the replies. The biggest oak would be 12inch diameter, 25 ft tall.
