You’re preaching the gospel to the choir on those dang river birch trees. The neighborhood where we walk has some and they shed branches like crazy. I tried to split some for firewood for a customer once. Just once. Never again. Stringiest wood I have ever seen. I love watching those trees get chipped up.
Ms Piggy started bucking a little but still chewed that big tree up. I just wondered what you usually do with all those chip loads? That river birch was like 5 trees on one stump, crazy.
The Rotobec is likely too heavy for a 30g. The lightest Rotobec 'mini power attachment' is 850lb. The lightest Ryans fixed rotating grapple is 770lbs and they suggest a 4-6 tonne excavator. The smallest AMI Attachments fixed 'rotating log grapple' is suggested to have a 6000 to 10000lb excavator.
