Looking for some feedback/advice on which machine to buy. Initially will be using to clear/thin a pine stand, digging out old oak/gum stumps, loading out oak logs I harvest off the property to send to the mill or mill on site (have my own mill) and even assisting in some framing projects (barns/shop additions). Here are two machines I'm currently considering that are pretty close to the house. Also, which one would run a mulching head better if I was to rent one? Appreciate the help!
