Think about it for a moment. People dont buy these so they can run around randomly flattening forests. Its to clear a way for roads, buildings or houses, much like the one you live in. Going in with bulldozers harms the terrain & root systems of other trees that are left standing so this is a much better way of clearing. They are also used for making fire breaks to save houses and peoples lives. Thats why people use these.
i live up in alaska and my freinds brother does it for a living making a ton of money, except his mulcher is on a bulldozer set up. he said you could go 10 miles an hour through a field of cotton woods and turn them to compost without slowing down.
Yes acutally forest fires are sometimes very good for overgrown forests. They allow for the native, more suitable species of vegetation to flourish and establish.
With a chainsaw & wood chipper, you have to cut down the tree and get a skid steer to feed it into the chipper. The excavator will do everything in one motion.
Thats a valid point, but you dont buy a Denis Cimaf to do 10 trees & then go home. When you have a large area to clear, something that takes a few days, you wont get every tree small enough to feed by hand, plus when fatigue sets in, you will get slower & slower. Even the small Denis Cimaf shown here can do material 150mm wide, there is no way you could feed a tree 15m long & 150mm wide into a chipper by hand and its much safer feeding it with a skid steer.
thats a fierce bit of kit. we use a brand called osma for heavy duty clearance along railway lines and another make called berti for medium duty clearance
The Dennis Cimaf are not the cheapest units out there but you will hard pressed finding better. You really do get what you pay for and these units rock.
nice recovery on that machine. And only 3000 @ 18-23gpm....nice

And wild fires through over-run forests that kill everything in their path are a good thing?

I agree with that too, its the human toll that is devestating with forest fires.

This footage was given to me by the manufacturer so unfortunately I cannot help you with that info.

It is quicker with a chainsaw and a wood chipper.

"get a skid steer to feed it into the chipper"
Look at those trees, you could pick them up single handed, why would you need a skid steer for them?

At 1.50 the operator comes awfully close to stalling the head! Nice bit of gear
