A dozer has its place and I could have accomplished my goal with a dozer. But if we'd used a dozer we would have lots of brush piles to burn, with dirt piles mixed in, plus a loss of top soil. The mulcher saved top soil, didn't leave us with any debris to deal with, and it moved through this overgrown mess faster than dozer could have.


So that's the reason they fetch a higher price? Looks like they'd be more common if you can invest 1/2 the $ and get the same return. Only one I've seen is on the RR up here.

I guess it's because they are specialized and the market isn't saturated yet.
