Flail Harvesters?

I am starting into a couple of neglected fields where the goldenrod is 6 feet high and some of the poplar trees are up to 2 inches in diameter.
The rotary mower will knock this stuff down, but it is only hit once and is a beast to try and plough after that. I am thinking about a flail harvester to really chop this stuff and maybe load it for inclusion in the compost windrows. Could something like a NH 36 chopper or JD 16A handle this stuff? I would probably run it most of the time with the back door open.OR can a Mott type mower handle this? I saw a Kuhn flail mower as well and it looked heavier and a Seppi flail mower looked like the real deal but pretty pricey.
Thanks

we had an IH one (it can be baught) I loved it but it has an issue (chain and gears worn out)

never used it on that harsh of stuff...

cows ate everything i ran through it.. and if it were baled.. they would move some if it around.. it was great.

I've used a 16A and a 15A to chop brush behind a JD420 crawler. You can go really slow and using the steering levers to start and stop gives you live power. I opened the back and took the auger drive chain off and the spout off on the 15A I bought for brush cutting. I think they're better than a brush hog because you're not running over what you're cutting.
