I received this question the other day.

“Do you use the skid steer to chase the CMI because the CMI doesn’t leave as nice of a finish?”

Answer - No, the CMI will leave just as nice of a finish. The CMI and TL12V2 both have Shearex heads, and both are running OEM carbides. The only difference is the head on the CMI has a larger motor since it’s on a larger carrier, and has 3 less teeth than the skid steer head. The CMI brings a lot of power. High horsepower, high pressure, and really high flow, plus 4 pumps. It can lay a lot of material down fast, especially big stuff, but it’s slower on its feet like a dozer. A skid steer moves much faster, but cannot process larger, more dense stuff near as quick. Typically 1 acre or less, the skid steer will do. 1-2 acres I recommend the CMI. 3+ acres I recommend the combo. The CMI could do it all, and is faster than a skid steer in this material on 13 acres. However, if you let the powerhouse mow it down, and break it up into chunks, then let a high horsepower skid steer come in with the speed, this is where you get the lowest cost per acre on 3+ acre projects.

I always appreciate the comments and questions. I read them all, and try to respond to them all. This one I thought was worth explaining a little more in detail as to why.

She’s like those gals that have to jump, pull, and squat to squeeze into those tight pants. Once they get in them, man oh man. That’s how this gal is. She has to work her way into the woods, but man once she gets in there, man oh man does she look good.

From one tank, to another, then to another. Still more efficient than tracking machines all the way back to the trailer. This Boss Trailers fuel skid is a must!

The CMI is bringing the power while the Takeuchi is bringing the cleanup. You’ll see other companies post about offering forestry mulching, but our efficiency and finished product will not be matched. For them to be as fast as we are, they cannot leave the finish we leave. Acre by acre this client will end up with double the usable hunting area on this property. Call us first, or call us last, just call and see for yourself what the difference is all about!

I’m not one for looking forward to a weekend because I want the days off. It’s quite the opposite. When Saturdays are drop days, it makes me extra ready for Monday. Love what you do, and look forward to the grind on Monday!

Big jobs require big power. Skid steer mulchers have their place, but 13 acres of this stuff is not one of them. The power delivered by the this dedicated tractor, paired with Shearex carbides means that we can bury that head, and plow through without backing off. If you’re in need of forestry mulching, hit that message button, and let’s get you on the list!

School is out, and my son (VP of Grunt Work) is hitting it every day. As a dad, watching him get up at 4am, work all day, then go mow afterwards at 14 yrs old makes me beyond proud. The icing on the cake is watching his interest in this business grow. Whether it’s cleaning equipment, helping load/deliver equipment, doing handwork, or driving a tractor, he never complains, just asks me what I need next. Blessed for sure!

The CMI is bringing the horsepower, and ripping through 13 acres of clearing. The Ventrac is hitting those tight, hard to reach brushhogging areas, and the 5120M is watching the sun go down.

Two things:

1. I should have bought a Ventrac years ago. They are crazy nimble, and in most situations, are faster than a full size tractor with a 7’ cutter. This thing has barely been home since we got it.

2. I’ll never ask anyone to do anything I’m not willing to do myself. The CMI is my baby, and I’m always the one running it. Up at 4:15am, out the door at 5:15am, and on the CMI at 6am. Met the family for supper at 4pm, then off with the 5120 for some evening mowing.

Stay driven, stay humble, and lead by example!

It’s Tractor Tuesday, and this gal says bring on the heat. We are tired of the cold, and tired of the rain. So, hit us with all the triple digits you want, this big gal can handle it!

Finally got my favorite, wide hipped gal back. The ole F350 took a couple hard hits from some mulcher debris, and landed herself at the body shop for two weeks. Her assignment today was to deliver the CMI for Monday morning. The CMI will bring the power, and the Boss Trailers fuel skid will bring the fuel. Starting Monday, trees will become shavings!
