I've browsed the forums for 2-3 months now and haven't come to a solid conclusion of which is better for my task. Below are some pictures of what I need to do. I have a lot of brush, overgrowth, and dead trees to cleanup in about 2 acres of land. I don't have any kind of bar on my bucket on my 1025R TLB. I have already been pushing down up 8" black locust trees with this SCUT, but need more with ripping out the root balls and stumps all over my land.
The other tasks, not pictured, are 1) getting rid of humps and dips in my yard to prevent water pooling, especially up near the house. I plan to get a box blade to help with that as well. 2) I need a 80x90 pad leveled out for a building next spring, as well as a service drive up to it. So to save money on having a bulldozer come out, I was thinking of tackling it myself, or at least getting a lot of it done myself to reduce the costs.
I've read that the Piranha is great for brush, maybe for some light digging. So maybe this is my better choice? But I've seen the Heavy Hitch online in some videos, digging away at stuff. As for the stumps, I'm thinking my best bet may be the backhoe to dig them out, or burn them, or both (because who doesn't like burning stuff?). Pay no attention to the pirate ship project lol...
