Anyone here use a skid steer for grubbing mesquite? If so, what size machine are you using and what size brush can you handle?
I will post some pictures of my grubber and modifications that I have made to it if I can figure out how to post them.
North Texan,
What kind of soil are your mesquites in? Are they large trees, small, or a combination of?

North Texan,
Do you have a skid steer?
I bet you can grub those mesquites with one. It will probably take longer and you will have to dig around the stump to sever all possible roots. One good thing about those sprouts, they will identify those stubborn stumps that you need to keep working on. They will eventually give up and you will get them out when the soil conditions are right. I have some that I work each time I make my rounds grubbing the new mesquites that have come up.
I am assuming that you are planning to do this grubbing on your place and not for hire. I have only done work on my places. I am trying to get all the new mesquites and eventually get most of my large ones.
We had an inch of rain last week but with this heat and my schedule I won't be able to get down and grub any mesquites.
