Hello Everyone!

We have 50 acres in the Catskills, pretty much all woods. There's lots of downed trees, pesky trees (mainly beech that are infected) and some invasive species that need to get pushed out.

The ground is rocky, uneven, mossy in many places...

Hi all,

Looking to see if there is a homeowner type setup to turn 4x4 poles into rounded poles. I'm in eastern Canada btw.

I have a lot of cedar that I can mill into 4x4 then turn into 10ft horse jump poles.

Is there a pto version or hydraulic setup for a tractor.

I can only find machine rounded poles online to purchase not a setup that I could make / buy.Read More
