If you use the right mulching equipment then the stumps and mulch are not a problem. You need a large mulching machine that can do subsoil mulching to about six inches of depth. Then you end up with a nice rich loam that will grow just about anything.

Mulching is great if you are patient (as in years). It's also fast; perfect to clear property lines and thin out undergrowth. This property was unfortunately about 4 or 5 years too late for mulching. But it's getting fixed.

One machine handling the whole process to. These machines could work at a good walking pace. in a week the heavily treed property was stripped back to dirt. Then the drillers would come in sink their wells down. Amazing to watch.

Definitely going to be a real nice Homestead for the owner once all that is cleared off. To bad whoever had it harvested didn't have it stumped and replanted properly. Up in Michigan they used to make you do that and the state would come in and replant it so it was easy to maintain undergrowth. Less ground fuel for Forrest fires that way and if there is one it's easier to fight them.

Chris, why not ask a machine shop in your area to replace that Christmas-tree of connectors and adapters with a nice clean block? It will be clean looking, easier to use and better to maintain. And it will prevent it catching on stuff as well. Explain what you need, and how you would prefer to use the connectors and attachments, and they'll make you the perfect block.
