A bit of video of a forestry mulcher clearing some heavy autumn olive and small trees from one of our fields. Enjoy!

A nice job,so how long will it be, when you raise a crop on that land,are the root's a problem when you start to tilling the land?
 
Probably next spring. PH needs work and we need to clean up some larger debris. Planting grass or a legume for hay - havent decided which yet. Will broadcast or no till drill, so no tillage or root concerns.
 
Looks like a lot of debris to clean up after he gets done. And the roots will grow new shoots from the stumps of it. Need to kill the roots or it will just be back next year maybe even later this year.
 
Mother nature sure is diligent to reclaim land when it's let go.
Congratulations on going to all the expense and work of bringing it back into production.
 


Around here it is necessary to put some time in every year keeping the invasive plants back. If I were you I would be going at it the same way. After two years of rotary mowing you should be able to get a good crop from it.
 
Does it get into the ground enough to run a heavy disc over it? Would an application of 2,4d set the root growth back? I fight autumn olive, honeysuckle and common buckthorn with a HD brush cutter, 2,4d and an offset disc. Takes a couple of years but then I can spray, throw and mow.

Its been six years since the municipality used one of those to chew about 70 feet off a mile of land we farm beside the grid road. I guess the trees were bigger than what you have there because every time I walk that ground now I am afraid to even try cutting hay there. The remnants of tree stumps plus long splinters of poplar make me think its not worth risking an expensive tractor tire. The municipality comes through with their rotary every year and cuts it down again so its is slowly improving. This "Gyro Trak" chewed up everything including barb wire fence and the odd stone pile too. Theres video of it working on my channel.

In the early 90's i planted several hundred Autumn Olive on my property to create a border. The deer love it for cover and the songbirds love the berries. Because it has been declared an invasive species you can no longer buy it from plant wholesalers so over the years i have transplanted shoots from the original Olive and placed them in more strategic places for the deer to utilize.
 
looks like the operator was doing his job nothing catches the action like a drone and then put some good toe tappin music to it good job you the man
 
Thy guy that cut this was pretty good about grinding up the debris and taking the stumps to the ground. Were the PH not so low, we would have
planted RR alfalfa this spring.
 
Yes - he ran it on the ground. Triplcyr (sp?) should take care of the roots and maybe Roundup too.
