I've had one on my place, reclaiming old roads, and opening up a few more food plots. Does a really good job!

The only thing I'll say negative about it is that I believe that it has the capability to bring in exotic invasive plants, tagging along on the machine from the previous job. I had some work done two years ago, and this summer, I spotted a dozen places where Japanese climbing fern has sprouted and grown. It's no where else on my 170 acres, but was found exclusively in the areas that were mulched.

It's not cogongrass (it very well could have been), but it's still some irritating stuff to deal with. If I didn't know what it looked like, I would have had a mess in a few years. I always carry some herbicide with me when I'm over there in the growing season, and treat the areas that need it or new sprigs I find. I caught it early, so I hope that I've corralled it.


You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle Dixie?
