About My Machine
Although it weighs 24,000 lbs. it has very low ground pressure @ 5.7 lbs. per ft. – less than a human. It has two implements a stump grinder, and a masticating head. I have redesigned both for optimum performance, durability and finished product. I am currently working on a patent for the masticating head design and features in the masticator housing. My machine boasts over 225 HP and 650 ft. lbs. of torque. I can easily take trees up to 15” DBH and work slopes to 50%, and still leave the parcel nice enough to walk on or drive through.
